Lynott Tours Inc
 Scotland Walking Tours The Walks We have Scottish walking tours every week March through October throughout Scotland, graded for different levels of activity. Walking vacation packages in Wales, and travel packages to England. We have two types: Escorted (guided) and self-led. They are all Country House Based, staying at one hotel for the whole length of time . All holidays have been designed by WALKERS FOR WALKERS. Our group walking tours of Scotland are guided by experienced leaders. Locations: Choose from 2 glorious locations in Scotland : Western Highlands, Isle of Arran. Challenging hikes  Accommodation We have carefully selected a mixture of comfortable 3/4/5 star country house/hotel accommodation perfect for those which are more comfortable with private bath. All have good boot and drying room facilities, tea and coffee makers and dining room service. Our daily social program includes an informal house party atmosphere, great for making new friends. You spend your whole stay in one property. The settings are varied, illustrating the surrounding beauty and diversity of the countryside.  Country House Based: You stay at one country
house hotel for your entire stay. Most 1 week tours offer walks on 5 days
during the week, departing at 9:30AM and spending about 5-7 hours walking,
including stops. Wednesday is a free day, allowing you to do what you want, or
to rest. The walks are categorized from short to long or from low to high level
terrain, so there is something to suit every taste on each departure. The
length of each days' walks depends on the level chosen, but can range from 2-12
miles or more. Our most popular British guided walking holidays offer you a
choice of up to three lengths of walks each day, we call them Classic Walking
Holidays. An easier walk and harder walk and one in between, perfect for those
holidaying together with different walking tastes. You can walk with one party
level one day, and switch to another the next - it's entirely up to you.You
don't have to stick to the same level throughout the week. You need not walk
every day, if you don't want to.
Short 3/4 day walks, 1 or 2 week walks We have short walks, too, of 3 or 4 days, from March-October, and some other dates, and longer walks of 1 or 2 weeks, walks for singles, families, and adventurous walks. This is a brief summary of what we offer. If you do not see here exactly what you want, please ask - we more than likely have it! The Areas We have walking tours in all areas of Britain. You can combine a week in Scotland with a week in England's Lake District, the Cotswolds, or just take a week's walk in Wales. Tours begin and end on Saturdays, allowing for easy combination of tours. Families, Couples, Singles, Groups Parents, toddlers, teenagers - there is something for everyone on our family walks. We have walks for those just aged 20-35, walks with a theme, gentle walking holidays. Single guests are welcome although there will be a supplement charged (unless a sharing arrangement can be made prior to departure.) Discounts for groups are available, too. The single supplement is $40 per person per night, all location.
Walking in a group The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly. There is normally a good mix of ages, of new clients and 'regulars' from Britain and overseas, and of couples, friends and people travelling alone. All our walks leaders are experienced, mostly enthusiasts who provide thoughtful, safe and informative leadership at all times. Meals: After a full breakfast we generally start the day at 9.30am taking a self-select picnic lunch and returning to the Country House hotel between 5.00pm and 6.30pm, in time for a relaxed three-course evening meal.
