Holidays for Ramblers For 60 years, Ramblers’ Holidays has provided programmes of walking and interesting sightseeing holidays. Walking holidays range from very easy to pretty tough, with a whole programme in between to provide something that will suit just about everyone. Sightseeing tours can include a lot of walking too, but add those other dimensions of cities and monuments, museums, and history, as opposed to mountains and hills, and country, flora, and fauna. All parties are accompanied by a Ramblers’ leader, and offer programmes throughout Europe, New Zealand, China, North and South America, Nepal, and more! (Ramblers’ Holidays is a subsidiary of Ramblers’ Association Services Ltd, incorporated in 1946 under the Industrial and Provident Securities Acts. Profits not ploughed back into the Location business each year are donated to the Ramblers Holidays Charitable Trust.)
