Hillwalk Tours organise self-guided hiking itineraries for people of all abilities. We book quality accommodation for you and will have your luggage waiting for you at the end of each day's hike leaving you stress free to make the most of your holiday.

At Hillwalk Tours, we're dedicated to supporting the conservation and restoration of natural landscapes that define and inspire our hiking adventures. This October and November, we’ve extended our support to two wonderful causes that work to preserve and protect iconic natural spaces.

In October, we contributed £500 to the National Trust's Hadrian’s Wall Appeal, supporting the ongoing restoration efforts at the beloved Sycamore Gap. This iconic tree, cherished by many, shows signs of regrowth with over 25 new shoots emerging from its stump, giving hope for a renewed future. The National Trust, along with Northumberland National Park Authority, is working diligently to protect and nurture these shoots, with the hope they’ll flourish as a new symbol for the generations to come.

In November, we turned our focus to preserving Ireland’s forests with a €500 donation to the The Native Woodland Trust. This organization is committed to safeguarding Ireland’s native woodlands, creating and managing forests for biodiversity and promoting sustainable forestry practices. Our support will help them conserve and restore these essential habitats, which play a vital role in protecting Ireland’s unique natural heritage.

Together, these contributions reflect our commitment to fostering a sustainable future and protecting the landscapes that mean so much to us all.🌳💚

Explore our Burren Way & Cliffs of Moher self-guided hiking tours, a journey along Ireland’s iconic Wild Atlantic Way. 🌊

This trail offers stunning views along the Cliffs of Moher Coastal Walk, with sheer cliffs plunging into the Atlantic below. Further inland, the Burren's unique limestone landscape feels almost mystical, dotted with ancient ruins, rare wildflowers and stone formations found nowhere else in Ireland. 🪨

You'll also visit vibrant villages like Doolin, where traditional Irish music fills the air, and the “craic” (fun) is as rich as the culture itself. 🎻

This hiking tour combines natural wonders with the warmth of Ireland’s heritage, making it an unforgettable adventure. 💚
