Cleveland Way 2025

'We're back safe and sound in the USA; recovering from some minor jet lag. Thanks for setting up our trip. We had a really good time.  The B&B's and Inns that you arranged were definitely a notch above.

Jim and Dina from USA

Offa's Dyke Path and Cotswold Way 2025

'I just want to say thank you for organising everything for both walks, we had a great time although it was tougher walking than expected. Even though the distances were less than we have walked previously the terrain, the stiles/gates, vegetation and the footing made it slower and tougher. None of which detracts from how spectacular some of the scenery was, and how much we enjoyed the hospitality and vibe.'

'I think many of the memories of the walk will end up being about the hosts and experiences rather than the vistas.'

Andrew and Mal from Australia

Pembrokeshire Coast Path 2025

'I wanted to get in touch with to say thank you so much. The trip you pulled together for me was everything I had hoped for. I had an absolutely wonderful and have recommended Embark to people I met on my travels as well as when I came home — may have already started looking at the other trips you specialise in!!

'Thank you for all your work on this. You made my first big solo trip a possibility and a wonderful experience.'

Inca from UK

Hadrian's Wall 2025

'Just a note to say how much Paul and I enjoyed our 4 days on Hadrian's Wall this week.

'Amazing views and sights on the Wall Path. Fairly tough on some sections and a few of the descents were a bit tricky, at least for us two, being in our mid 70's. Vindolanda was fascinating with a good tour and about 20 archaeologists hard at work. From Irthington, the Aviation Museum (about 1.5 miles away) is well worth a visit including a look inside the Vulcan V bomber.'

 Phil from UK

Anglesey Coast Path 2025

'We returned yesterday from our three days walking and we loved every moment. You had organised everything beautifully, it all worked so smoothly, from luggage transfers to key box numbers, location of Waitrose even! ' 

'The walk itself was really beautiful, albeit we only did the last 55 miles, but lovely varied landscape from cliffs and beaches to woodland and meadowland. The map and book were very helpful, especially the map, but it was so very well waymarked that it was nigh impossible to go wrong. '

Lulu from UK

Ridgeway 2025

'I just wanted to send a note to say how much I enjoyed my walking holiday! My only regret of the whole experience was not to take a few more days to finish the Ridgeway, but at least I have something to look forward to! All of the accommodations you booked were excellent,.'  

'would definitely suggest to everyone to go into the village of Ashbury for their lunch. I also really appreciated the guides and found it really helpful for planning my days.'

'Again thank you so much I’ll definitely be in touch for either the second half of the Ridgeway or another walk!'

Catherine from UK

Anglesey Coast Path 2025

'We are just heading back from Bangor this morning after a fabulous 5 days walking with a great weather window too!'

'Thank you for all the terrific organising as ever.'
