WALKING HOLIDAYS IN CHESHIRE

Right from your Cheshire doorstep

Walk One of Britain’s Favourite Trails

Some walks need very little introduction.

The Sandstone Trail is widely regarded as Cheshire’s most famous long-distance walk — and one of Britain’s best-loved. Following an ancient sandstone ridge for 34 miles, it takes in wide views, historic landmarks and some of the county’s most beautiful countryside.

Our walking holiday allows you to enjoy the entire trail at your own pace, while staying somewhere calm and comfortable — with every practical detail already thought through.

Book direct for best rates and a complimentary welcome hamper of local produce.

Walking, without the rush

Walking is one of the most natural ways to switch off — without switching yourself off.


This is time outdoors without pressure. Movement without rush. Space to think, talk and breathe.


You explore Cheshire at human pace, returning each evening to comfort, warmth and somewhere that feels familiar.

The Experience

Everything about this walking holiday has been thoughtfully arranged.


You’ll stay in one of our luxury Cheshire properties, return to the same place each evening, and find the details already taken care of — from a welcome hamper of local produce on arrival to optional extras that allow you to shape the stay around you.


  • Coach transport to and from the trail each day
  • Clear, simply presented route information
  • Welcome hamper of local produce on arrival
  • Food provided for relaxed, help-yourself breakfasts
  • Optional packed lunches for walking days
  • Optional extras such as private chefs, spa evenings or in-house treatments

The Route

The Sandstone Trail has earned its reputation quietly, and for good reason.

Over the course of the walk you’ll experience elevated ridge walking with far-reaching views, woodland paths and open farmland, historic landmarks including Beeston Castle, and gentle canal towpaths linking villages along the way.

It has been featured on national television and regularly appears in lists of Britain’s favourite walks — not because it’s extreme, but because it’s varied, scenic and deeply satisfying to walk.

This is Cheshire, laid out beneath your feet.

Leave the logistics to us

This is a self-guided walking holiday, designed for those who want independence without complication. Each morning, a private coach collects you directly from your property and drops you at that day’s starting point on the trail. 


You walk the next section at your own pace, stopping whenever you wish - there's great pubs, cafes and moments to rest along the way. At the end of the day, the coach returns you back to your front door.


By the end of the third walking day, you’ll have completed the Sandstone Trail in full — end to end — without moving cars, arranging lifts or retracing steps. Leave the logistics to us — so you can enjoy the trail as it unfolds. 

Four nights, or longer

The walking holiday is designed as a four-night stay, giving the walk space to sit comfortably within your time away.


You arrive, unpack properly and settle in. Over the following three days, you complete the Sandstone Trail section by section. On departure day, there’s no rush — just a slow morning and an easy journey home.


If you’d like a little longer — perhaps a day either side to stay put, explore locally or simply enjoy doing very little — you’re welcome to extend your stay. Many guests do.

Your Cheshire base

You can enjoy this walking holiday from any of our luxury Cheshire properties.


Each offers calm, beautifully considered interiors, comfortable spaces for evenings together, proper beds and deeply restful sleep.


Returning to the same place each evening means no packing and unpacking — just familiarity and comfort waiting for you.
