Hart and Soul Walks
Our walks are all about getting active outside, connecting with others, as well as ourselves and then slowing down as we refuel with the best homemade food - healthy and delicious!
Our walks are an opportunity to be guided and looked after by an experienced and qualified Mountain Leader with extensive local knowledge. They are graded ❤️, ❤️❤️ or ❤️❤️❤️ depending on length or walk, terrain and height gain.
