CURTIS-BEARD - WALKS WITH FRIENDS

GREG AND JENNY'S WALKING PROGRAMME

 

WALKS IN CONTINENTAL EUROPE

INTERNATIONAL WINE SMUGGLERS' WALK

This old favourite, first established in 1990, takes you across the Alps from Austria through Switzerland to Italy and back on the tracks of the former wine traders and their horses. To mitigate the distances involved on this circular route, the journey combines walking with a judicious amount of travel on the narrow-gauge Rhaetic Railway, including the Bernina Express, which passes through some of Eastern Switzerland's most stunning scenery. Wine cellar visit!

ENGLISH SW-PENINSULA COASTAL WALKS & GARDENS

WALKING HOLIDAYS

CORNWALL WALKING HOLIDAY BASED NEAR LAND’S END

Enjoy some of the best coastal walking in Cornwall, based in a comfortable family-run hotel. Our daily walks take us to many spots the average tourist will not find, such as mysterious standing stones on misty moorlands, testimony to ancient Celtic times; but we also visit some better-known places, and have plenty of time to explore and enjoy them. We also offer the chance of a day trip to the fabulous Scilly Islands.

CORNWALL WALKING HOLIDAY BASED ON THE LIZARD PENINSULA - ENGLAND'S MOST SOUTHERLY POINT

We stay in the quiet village of Lizard, just a hop, skip and a jump from Lizard Point, the most southerly spot in England, and popular with artists and nature lovers. The coastal scenery here is unsurpassed, with dramatic rock formations and sandy coves, traditional villages and ancient pubs. Standing on Lizard Point you can watch the sun rise from and set into the southern sea!

GARDEN HOLIDAYS WITH EASY WALKING

STAY RIGHT BESIDE THE WILD ATLANTIC OCEAN AND VISIT THE BEAUTIFUL GARDENS OF NORTH DEVON

Stay right beside the sea in a stunning position on North Devon’s wild Atlantic coast. From here we visit a selection of beautiful gardens, as well as having time to enjoy short walks along the coast and through the countryside, ablaze with spring flowers. This trip also features a private visit to Hartland Abbey as well as numerous other beautiful gardens, including RHS Rosemoor.

TWO-CENTRE CORNWALL/DEVON GARDEN HOLIDAYS

Thanks to the Gulf Stream Cornwall and Devon are blessed with an incredible number of superb gardens. From the beautiful towns of Falmouth and Fowey we explore a plethora of fabulous gardens – some well-known, others less so, but all stunning. We access most of the gardens gently: by a ramble along coasts and river banks, or a trip by boat along inland waterways.

 

OUR CONTINENTAL PROGRAMME - SUPER BREAKS IN THE LOVELIEST PLACES

 

Do you prefer your walking to be not too hard and the distances to be realistic? Do you enjoy a country ramble but not a major hike? Don't be ashamed! Our Cushies’ walks are designed with you in mind! We remain in the same pleasant hotel for the whole duration of the holiday, and make easy rambles each day to interesting destinations in the area.

SPRINGTIME ON LAKE COMO! Have you never seen the breathtakingly beautiful countryside of Lake Como in springtime? Fed up with the winter? Longing for colours and flowers? Leave the grey behind and join us! Or why not tag these few days onto your ski holiday as a well-earned break?

SUMMER DAYS IN THE TYROLEAN MOUNTAINS OF AUSTRIA! Relax in an excellent family-run hotel in a superb Alpine setting. Once again the food is first class and the welcome genuine. Enjoy the beauty of  the Austrian Alps without thousands of other tourists. Another well-kept secret!

NORTH VOSGES REGIONAL PARK IN AUTUMN! This little-known corner of northern France is perfect for an autumn break! Enjoy the peace and quiet of these beautiful forests in the congenial company of new friends. Explore long-forgotten castles on great craggy rocks, discover rare plants and birds, or take the rowing boat out on the misty lake before breakfast!
