About

Contours Holidays has been organising unforgettable adventures since 1996, and strives to be the best value self-guided holiday company in the UK.

We offer a broad variety of customisable holidays, with competitive pricing, hand-picked service providers and excellent customer service.

Whether you choose to walk, run, or cycle, come and explore the incredible landscapes of the Lake District with the help of Contours Holidays.


What is a self-guided holiday?

From the door of each night’s accommodation, you’ll follow our maps and guidebooks on foot (or by bike) through the countryside — with complete freedom to go at your own pace, stop for breaks when you like, choose your own meals and linger as long as you want at the sites that interest you most.

That’s because a self-guided holiday is built around you. There’s no need to choose from a limited selection of dates and you won’t join a group of strangers. Gather your companions from amongst friends and family (dogs are welcome too!), pick a trail, select the itinerary that best suits your pace and let us know your dates. We’ll arrange everything for you and provide all the details so you can act as your own guide.


What does Contours provide?

We offer expertly-planned walking, trail running, cycling and mountain biking holidays, along with complete peace of mind. All of our holidays include the below as standard, with bespoke packages and customisations available on request:

Nightly accommodation
Daily Breakfast
Daily luggage transfers
Personalised holiday pack
24-hour emergency support
Exclusive members area
Transfers to and from the trail
