Our Collections Rambling means different things to different people. For some, it’s iconic trails and mountain views. For others, it’s discovering new cultures, slowing the pace or following their own path. That’s why we’ve created four distinct Collections, each offering a different way to explore the world on foot.
Our Classic Collection brings you a broad selection of expertly guided tours across both iconic and lesserknown footpaths. Follow epic scenery along famous routes, discover hidden trails, walk sections of National Trails, and explore historic pilgrim paths.
Our Discover Collection invites you to embark on carefully crafted cultural journeys across the globe. These guided holidays take you deeper into the heritage, cuisine, wine, wildlife, landscapes, and stories that shape each destination.
Our Adagio Collection blends gentle guided walks with enriching sightseeing. With shorter routes, and a relaxed approach to discovery, it’s the ideal way to travel at a leisurely pace while making meaningful connections with the places you visit.
With our Self-Guided Collection, you set the pace while we take care of the details. Enjoy independently planned walking holidays with expertly designed routes, handpicked accommodation, and seamless baggage transfers. See pages 152–154.

Walks for everyone Rambling looks different for everyone. It might be a gentle morning exploring a historic town, a scenic coastal trail with new friends, or a challenging day in the mountains with rewarding views at every turn. Whatever your idea of the perfect walking holiday, our grading system makes it easy to find your ideal fit. Using four simple categories, we’ve taken the guesswork out of choosing a holiday, helping you focus on what really matters: enjoying the adventure ahead.
Which walk is right for me?
Our grade icons are also colour coded to their collection
Gentle
Leisurely
Perfect for those who like easy walking and sightseeing on foot at a relaxed tempo.
Great for those who love walking and exploring, plus are happy with gentle ascents and descents.
Grade 1
Grade 2
Grade 3
A relaxing way to explore, where we’ve perfected the art of taking our time. You don’t need to be a seasoned walker or fit enough to walk for miles to join these itineraries. All trips at this grade are part of our Adagio Collection, where the focus is on quality time. We encourage everyone to pause and take in their surroundings, strolling on foot at a leisurely pace.
This grade mixes active sightseeing with shorter city or countryside walks. Trips aren't aimed at seasoned walkers, but you should be able to manage walks of around 3 miles at a leisurely pace, with a few ups and downs. In more mountainous areas, we use transport to access higher ground. Holidays at this grade are generally part of our Adagio or Discover Collections.
We still class this grade as Leisurely; walks are generally a little longer than those at Grade 2, with undulations over a longer distance. When sightseeing distances are longer, we allocate a full day with plenty of opportunities to stop, rest, and refuel. Generally, itineraries involve easy countryside walking with plenty of breaks along the way.
Walks average – Distance: Up to 3 miles; Ascent/Descent: 50m; Time: Over the duration of a day.
Walks average – Distance: 3 miles; Ascent/Descent: 150 to 200m; Time: Short or half-day exploration.
Walks average – Distance: 4 miles; Ascent/Descent: 300m; Time: Half-day or full-day walks.
Moderate Best suited to those who like full-day walks with some varied terrain and a moderate amount of height gain.
10
Grade 4
Grade 5
Usually, your walk will occupy the whole day at a moderate pace. Many holidays in our Discover Collection will have an element of sightseeing as well. The terrain is often hilly, with generally good paths, though in mountainous areas, you might encounter rougher paths. Walks vary from as little as 3 miles on a sightseeing day up to 10 miles on a full day, depending on the amount of ascent and descent required.
Trips comprise of day walks with plenty of ups and downs. Some steep and rough ground will be encountered at times. Walks average around 7 miles with 650m of ascent/descent. Some holidays cover longer distances on easier paths, while others may involve shorter walks with more demanding ascents and terrain.
Walks average – Distance: 6 miles; Ascent/Descent: 500m; Time: Day walks.
Walks average – Distance: 7 miles; Ascent/Descent: 650m; Time: Day walks.

Challenging Ideal if you want longer days, often over rougher, more adventurous terrain.
Grade 6
Grade 7
Grade 8
Full-day walks with appreciable amounts of ascent and descent, covering longer distances. While you’ll primarily be on paths, there may be rough, steep and loose sections underfoot. These walks often take you into more remote landscapes, with rewarding views and a real sense of achievement at the end of the day. A good level of fitness and stamina are important to get the most from these fabulous walks.
These holidays are typically in mountainous areas where stamina is important to be able to enjoy longer days. There's plenty of ascent and descent on some rough and steep paths, requiring good footwear, a steady step, and a head for heights. While some days may involve shorter distances or less ascent/ descent, the overall effort required is generally higher.
These are our most challenging trips, featuring demanding mountain walking with long, rewarding ascents, descents, and possibly some scrambling. A good level of fitness, stamina, a head for heights, and prior experience with mountain walking are essential.
Walks average – Distance: 8 miles; Ascent/Descent: 850m; Time: 8 hours/full day.
Walks average – Distance: 10 miles; Ascent/Descent: 950m; Time: 8 hours+/long days.
Walks average – Distance: 11 miles; Ascent/Descent: 1300m; Time: 8 hours+/long days.

Hassness House
hosts both guided and self-guided holidays + enjoy festive breaks here
Great value getaways Everything you need. Plus cake. At Hassness, we’ve taken care of the details so you can focus on the important things, like deciding whether today’s view beats yesterday’s. Every stay includes: • A hearty breakfast each morning • Packed lunches for your adventures (except arrival and departure days) • Unlimited tea and coffee • Fresh afternoon cake • Three-course evening dinners (except Wednesdays) • The warm, friendly hospitality we’re known for
Every stay is magical Comfort, character and a front-row seat to nature. The beauty of Hassness isn’t just outside the windows. It’s woven into the experience. With 11 comfortable bedrooms the house is perfectly sized for relaxed escapes and sociable evenings. Many rooms enjoy stunning views, while the cosy lounge boasts a picture window so captivating you might forget to pick up your book. Beyond the house, red squirrels dart through the grounds, sheep graze peacefully nearby, and the pace of everyday life feels delightfully distant. There’s even a small honesty bar stocked with wines, beers and spirits, because stories from the trail are often best shared with something nice in hand.
Fantastic, freshly prepared food The fells are impressive but the food gives them a run for their money. Hassness has earned a reputation for more than its spectacular setting. The kitchen is a highlight in its own right. Start the day with a hearty breakfast and homemade preserves, then build a packed lunch to enjoy wherever your walk takes you. Return to the welcoming scent of freshly baked cake and a well-earned cuppa. Dinner is a relaxed three-course affair celebrating local flavours, from Herdwick lamb and Cumberland sausage to classic Lake District favourites, all prepared with care and plenty of local pride. Vegetarian, vegan and dietary requirements are always catered for. And on Wednesdays, when the kitchen takes the evening off, Buttermere’s friendly pubs are just a short stroll away.

Meet our leaders Derek Tunstall Our journey with this remarkable Ramble Worldwide leader began back in 2005. Derek received a frantic call from our manager at Hassness House in the Lake District, asking him to step in at the last minute. Thankfully, those first weeks were magical, as Derek shared his extensive knowledge of Buttermere and the Borrowdale Valley with our clients. In addition, he has 25 years of frontline service with the Cockermouth Mountain Rescue Team, with the last 10 years as an honorary member. Derek now looks after their base, collection boxes, and gives presentations on their operations. His dedication earned him an MBE from the Queen in 2000 for his services to mountain rescue and volunteering for the Lake District National Park Authority. Q: What are your favourite Lake District walks?
I also love the Challenging Grade 7 walk to Sour Milk Ghyll, up to Bleaberry Tarn, then on to the top of Red Pike, which is easily recognised by the red ore around its summit. There’s an amazing view of two valleys and, even further afield, the Solway coast. We continue over the top of High Stile and High Crag, descend to Scarth Gap and climb up to the top of Haystacks, Wainwright’s final resting place.
