Wilderness England Reviews 

I took a self guided walking tour through Cornwall with Wilderness England in September. It was beautiful and challenging and the accommodations were lovely. However their website and the ability to contact them was challenging. We had basic questions about our daily hikes and connections and had difficulty connecting with the company.

The guides are well-versed in the landscape, expertly navigating both the paths and group dynamics. With a maximum of eight participants, the experience remains smooth and pleasant. The lodgings are not only beautiful but also cozy, and the local cuisine is exceptional. I rarely revisit trips, yet I found myself returning for a second year!

Wilderness England is a travel company I recommend without reservation. From start to finish, my experience exceeded every expectation and went far beyond imagination. This is a remarkably well-run organization—every member of the team was attentive, responsive, and genuinely committed to ensuring our trip unfolded seamlessly.

There are many travel companies that promise you the sky yet deliver disappointment. Wilderness England is not one of them. If you’re seeking an authentic adventure through the English countryside with minimal hassle and maximum joy, this is the company for you. If you’re looking for an experience that moves and transforms you, this is the company for you. And if you want true value for your money, once again—this is the company for you.

Every detail was anticipated and flawlessly executed. The hotels we stayed in were of excellent quality, the daily itineraries thoughtfully planned, and the difficulty levels flexible enough to suit every traveler. For groups of six to eight, the company offers an ideal format—particularly if everyone enjoys hiking with reasonable elevation and stunning views as reward.

Though the company recommends travel insurance, I personally chose not to take it—an individual decision that each traveler must make. Wilderness England can easily customize your trip to suit your preferences, making each journey distinct and personal.

And finally, I have to mention our exceptional guide, Astrid C. She was extraordinary—knowledgeable, spirited, and possessed a wicked sense of humor that made each day even more memorable. Astrid is, without question, one of the finest guides I’ve ever encountered.

In short, Wilderness England provides an outstanding, life-enriching travel experience. I recommend them wholeheartedly and without hesitation.

Outstanding, exceeded expectations.
The right mix of hiking, visits to historic sites, strolling on own thru Cotswolds market towns, pub visits. Excellent accommodations and dining at inns. Guide was very knowledgeable, enthusiastic, accomodative.
Already considering next trip with Wilderness

We had an excellent guide and excellent group on our hike of Hadrians Wall. We stayed at some amazing places and had many really great meals. We were fortunate to have perfect weather for hiking for the entire trip! All in all it was a very memorable experience.

Fantastic trip with an expert local tour guide. The small-group size was ideal. Accommodation and meals were great, too. Even with awful weather, our guide was able to help us make the most of the local hikes and we experienced some amazing and remote scenery.

She was informative, organized and good natured. She took us to Crags, to the Woodsworth cabin, to restaurants, waterfalls and we saw everything. She always had extra supplies to cover if we were lacking anything.

She ensured it was the trip of a lifetime.

Great guides, lovely accommodation and food. Well organised holiday with wonderful walks.

This trip was such a special experience. Our guide, Ben, was pure magic. So informative, kind, connected, and experienced. The other guests were wonderful, I loved meeting everyone. The countryside was gorgeous and the terrain challenging in the best of ways.

Cornwall Trip - Our guide, Louise, was awesome! Very knowledgeable, efficient, and fun! The accommodations and dining was authentic and comfortable.

This was my first hiking trip with Wilderness England. The guide, food, accommodations and itinerary were all really wonderful. Nat had to make a few changes in the itinerary due to weather and the alternatives were lovely hiking spots so nothing missed I am sure. I have hiked with several other companies over the past 20 years and WE is at the top of the list.

I had a fantastic time cycling from Milngavie (just north of Glasgow) to the Moray Firth. Brilliant Guides, great route, great accommodation and great food.

Guides who know the terrain - both the trails and how to interact with the group. The limit of eight people makes the experience easy and enjoyable. Beautiful, comfortable accommodations, great local food. I don't usually repeat a trip, but I've been two years in a row!

Well organised, good accommodation and excellent guide.

Wilderness England did a great job with everything for our trip. The itinerary was varied and flexible and the scenery was stunning! The inns were warm and welcoming with delicious food. But the star of our trip was our guide, Carol. She was knowledgeable and encouraging at every turn. She was amazing at planning and working around our needs and the weather. I would absolutely take another trip with Wilderness.

It was not only a wonderful itinerary, but the guides were outstanding!

I can't say enough great things about Wilderness England and my Lake District Hike. Everything was seamless, the hiking was amazing, the food was outstanding, our guide, Jo, was incredible as well! I loved that we could hike directly from our hotels - which were lovely. I would definitely book another trip with Wilderness England again!
