Inghams walkers’ guidebooks
Available for the resorts listed to the right, our tailored guidebooks contain over 100 pages
of walking information, sketch maps and practical tips, and are highly praised by our guests.
A team of professional walking-guide writers
was commissioned especially for the series. Thousands of kilometres of paths were explored around our resorts and the best walks in every area were selected for each book.
The guidebooks feature both gentle valley trails and more demanding hikes, including classic walks, high-level traverses and challenging paths.
Order and receive your guidebook in advance for £9.50 plus £1 p&p by calling 020 8780 4456. To receive your guidebook in resort, please reserve it when confirming your holiday (£7.50 will be added to your invoice).
