SCENERY

Welcome to our 2019 brochure!
If you love the great outdoors, you know
about the escape, freedom, relaxation and
sense of achievement that a good walk
can bring.

You know about the exhilaration of breathing
in wonderful, fresh air. And you know there’s
no better way to experience the world than
on foot – whether that means walking a
dramatic British fell, hiking an imposing Italian
alp, or strolling through the colourful streets
of Havana.

But if you’ve never explored on a walking holiday,
you may be surprised at just how many ways you
can discover your surroundings!

Our most popular Guided Walking holidays, with a
daily choice of walks, allow you to truly explore an
area. Fancy some sightseeing? Up for a challenge?
In the mood to combine walking with a hobby?
Don’t worry – we’ve got breaks for that too! And
if you simply can’t decide, why not try our Taster
Weekends or Self-Guided Walking breaks?

Whether this will be your first visit or the latest of
many, I hope you find something in here that makes
you want to lace up your boots and get out there.
We’ve more than 100 years of experience exploring
the world – and we want to share it with you.

THE STORY OF HF HOLIDAYS

a stroll Just over 100 years ago our founder, Thomas
Arthur Leonard, created an organisation with
THROUGH TIME a simple mission – to get people into the great
outdoors. We’ve been doing this ever since.
HF Holidays has a proud history spanning over 100 years. From simple beginnings, we’ve expanded our
During a century of changes, the ethos at the heart of range of destinations and today over 60,000

exceptional walking experiences in beautiful locations. We’re proud to remain a co-operative society,
which means we are owned by our 37,000
4 | Call 020 8732 1250 or visit hfholidays.co.uk members with no corporate shareholders.

For the past century we’ve made it our mission
to provide shared holiday experiences that
inspire friendship, fun and an active enjoyment
of the great outdoors. We believe that among
the things which matter most in today’s busy
world are an appreciation of nature, a love of
the open air, and the joy of fellowship with one
another. We’ve built a reputation as the UK’s
leading provider of guided walking holidays,
with a focus on great locations, experienced
leaders and exciting itineraries.

In 2019 we’ll be celebrating:

90 YEARS
OF HOLIDAYS AT GLEN COE

Situated on the shores of Loch Leven, and
surrounded by some of Britain’s highest
mountains, our country house at Glen Coe has
long been a premier destination for mountain
walking. Plus the excellent indoor swimming
pool with loch view makes a stay at Alltshellach
even more enjoyable.

60 YEARS
OF LEISURE ACTIVITY HOLIDAYS

In 1959 our ‘Holidays that are Different’
brochure featured pony trekking, golf, sketching
and ‘old-time’ dancing in our range of holidays.
60 years on, our Leisure Activities brochure
contains almost 200 different holidays, while our
ever-popular Discovery Tours remain a great
way of exploring the countryside by mini-coach.

30 YEARS
OF WORLDWIDE JOURNEYS

Our first Worldwide brochure boasted a
handful of long-haul trips but these holidays are
now our biggest and most exciting, covering
29 amazing destinations including Japan,
Costa Rica and Madagascar. We’ve refreshed
some of our best-selling tours, including
exceptional new itineraries in New Zealand
and the USA.
