Walking Holidays In Wales

Walkabout Walking Holidays offer guided group walking holidays in the highest and most rugged mountains of Snowdonia which lie immediately inland of Caernarfon, Bangor and Conwy on the Menai Straits. Walkabout Walking Holidays is based in Llanberis at the foot of Snowdon. This village, with its unique history and character, is the ideal base for walking in Snowdonia.

We organise programmes, leadership, and hotel accommodation for Guided Group walking holidays in Wales for Weekend Breaks or longer. Our groups are made up of smaller groups of friends and single travellers, or are Private Groups (8 or more people from the same organisation who book together for their own customised programme).

Walks are available for groups at easy, moderate or hard grades. Walkers are advised how to identify their fitness level and their appropriate walking group. We provide walking holidays in Snowdonia in two age bands either 27 yrs old to 49 yrs old or 50 + years old. These homogenous groups of similar age and fitness operate comfortably together and enjoy one another's company in the evenings. Walking is a diverse activity which offers different things to different people. We offer considerable choice and adapt our programmes to the requirements and interests of each walking group.
