There are three ways that you can enjoy one or more of our Guided Walks:
- Allow us to arrange things for you. You simply choose the Guided Walks that you require - we then provide any travel route maps or arrange transport from/to bus or railways stations, book your accommodation, provide details of local Pubs & Restaurants, and give information about events that may be happening in the area at the time of your visit. This will all be included in your Information Pack. Many of our Walks start and finish in Marlborough, so if you are staying locally you will not require transport for these, but if you are not staying locally, or require transport to and from any Guided Walk, this will be pre-arranged. Your stay can be for as long as you require - you do not need to book a Guided Walk for every day of your visit, allowing you time to ‘do your own thing’, if you wish. Marlborough can be very busy during the summer months, so please book early!
- Make your own arrangements for transport and accommodation. Your Information Pack will include details of our recommended local Hotels and Bed & Breakfasts, travel details from your home to your destination in the area, relevant bus and rail timetables, and details of local Pubs & Restaurants and any events that will be happening in the area at the time of your visit. You simply arrive at the given start-point of the Guided Walks of your choice at the arranged day and time. However, you will be free to join-in with any of our evening activities, book-in for some extra Walks if you wish, and perhaps find some fellow ‘Wiltshire Walkers’ for combined evening meals!
- If you live locally, or will be providing your own transport to and from the Guided Walks, then you just simply book for the Walks that you require. Your Information Pack will include travel details from your home to your destination in the area, relevant bus and rail timetables, and details of local Pubs & Restaurants and any events that will be happening in the area at the time of your visit.
