INN-to-INN walking holidays are similar to European "hotel treks" or "pub to pub" trips. You walk from place to place along a linear or circular route staying in comfortable accommodation along the way.
You only need to carry a light day pack each day as the rest of your luggage will be moved for you by vehicle whilst you are out walking. On the last day of the trip you're returned to the starting point to collect your vehicle or make public transport connections.
All INN-to-INN walking holidays can be done Self-Guided, using very detailed and easy-to-follow walking notes. Some also have guided departures, on demand for a minimum of 2 people booking together. Alternatively you can join one of the group guided trips.
