Please see below for six factors which affect your quoted price -
1 - The time of year you are walking - The low season (outside of May to September) is generally cheaper than the peak months.
2 - How early you book. Cheaper accommodation tends to book out first so to get the best prices and choice of accommodation we recommend you book as early as you can. Bookings open for the season the previous summer.
3 - Which routes and areas you choose - Cornwall, South Devon and Dorset are the more expensive regions while Wales, Somerset, North Devon and Dartmoor tend to offer better prices. We also often run seasonal special offers on certain routes so ask if these would be of interest.
4 - Type of accommodation - You can choose to upgrade to luxury hotels or downgrade to basic B&B's and we will try to match your walk to your budget. Quotes will show standard options and the costs for any upgrades so you can pick and choose to suit your plans.
5 - The number of walkers - rates are generally based on 2 walkers - the more walkers the cheaper prices get as we split the costs of providing the walk between the group.
6 - Luggage Transfers - our quotes include two prices - with and without luggage transfers so if you want to keep the costs down you can choose to carry your own luggage to avoid those charges.
If you want to try to get the lowest prices let us know your budget - we can advise honestly and openly what is possible - we don't want to see anyone unable to walk the routes due to costs.
To request a quote costs nothing and there is no commitment to book - so do try us! We usually have quotes emailed back to you within a few days and these documents are very detailed with accommodation choices, website links to the accommodations, route descriptions, daily walking grade and mileage, travel info to the trail and of course a guaranteed price to consider.

Beautiful scenery. Nice accommodation that matched the descriptions. Everything worked very well and the material from Encounter was accurate and very helpful.
A perfect walking holiday.

Walking the Coastal Path from Amroth to Angle was a wonderful way to discover an area of Wales we had not been to before. We averaged about 10 miles a day which at our age (65 and 73) was plenty especially given the hilly nature of it. The coast was spectacular in places. We were blessed with fine weather and didn't get wet. This section of the coast is blighted by military firing ranges BUT the gods were with us and they were open all the week. This made a huge difference. We altered our itinerary slightly by doing a circular walk from Bosherston through the ranges which were open. This avoided a detour inland and a walk back to Bosherston from Freshwater West which you see anyway the next day. I would strongly recommend this if the ranges are open as this section of coast is amazing. All of Encounter's arrangements worked like clockwork - thank you. Our accommodation was certainly mixed but quite adequate. All the owners were very helpful. In hindsight we would have spent an extra day in Tenby so we could have had a day on Caldey Island.
So, a great holiday. Tiring but a memorable experience. We have just about recovered! Many thanks Encounter Walking.

This is our fifth walk with Encounter Walking Holidays, each one has been uniquely special. They give excellent notes about what to expect, the level of walking, and interest points to look out for. The accommodation arranged is varied, some super comfortable and some quirky but all very satisfactory. The luggage transfers have been faultless. The staff at the office have been most helpful and friendly especially when something unexpected has happened. We would strongly recommend them to new comers.
All our previous walks have been on the S.W. coastal path all terrific walks, this time we decided to try the Pembrokeshire path which was equally beautiful and less busy. The highlight this year was a day on Skomer island where 45,000 puffins were nesting!

The path had some days longer than we wanted so Encounter Walking did what they could to follow our price range and distance. Sometimes Taxi transport was needed to go half way and walk back then next day taxi back and walk forward. Worked great and no day was longer than 14 miles. Felt like we had a guiding hand at our back!

Very enjoyable walk and thankful to Encounter Walking holidays for doing a good job of organising under such difficult circumstances. Would recommend this path to the keen walker. For the more casual walker, if planning to do the entire distance, take a good look at the length of the longer days and bear in mind that it may be wet.

Dear Damon - Now we are back home - (after the finishing of our Pembrokeshire-Walking we added 3 days in Dublin) . We want to thank you for a very good organization - the description of the way was very useful and the B&B’s for 20 Days were very nice. We enjoyed our walking so much - especially of the good weather (not common for Wales?) - the friendly people, the nice little towns we visited - and the walking way very good groomed. We will recommend you to all of our friends and perhaps next year we ask you for an other Walking-Tour. With our best regards Annette and Henning

I have been home in Canada for a few days now. I wanted to email to let you know that I really enjoyed the holiday you planned for us. The scenery was so beautiful it was a pleasure to go out and walk. We were a little disappointed that we did not complete the last day by the cliff path instead we walked in land, as it was we got soaked. We did not feel it would be safe for us to be out on the cliffs because the paths become quite slippery. Our luggage transfer was seamless and our bags were always at our next stop. I found it quite refreshing to stay in one place for two nights, it gave us a chance to get to know our hosts a little better. Generally the accommodation was good. However there was one place we did not like and that was in Fishguard. We did feel some empathy with the lady who appeared to be running the place on her own trying to make a living. However the place was really untidy, with papers etc. everywhere. The main desk was a mess.The lounge area smelt of dogs and cats, and we could smell cigarette smoke. The whole place was dingy and depressing. To be fair the rooms were clean. One of our favourite places was Vienne and Chris's Hampton B&B in Trefin. The food was lovely much of it produced by them, free range eggs and home grown tomatoes and they were so friendly and helpful. It was just like being at home.

Hi everybody It is my pleasure to give you feedback since our walk has been a great experience to both of us! Generally we were highly impressed by the standard of organization. Books and Maps and the day to day itinerary arrived on time just sufficiently to adjust our preparations. The accommodations were all organized and the hosts well informed and the luggage was always there on time! Also the walk was tailored specifically to our needs and the communication for planing it went perfectly well!

Hi Rich,We did have a great time and we have been spoiled with dry and mostly sunny weather. The B&B have been really nice and friendly. The food was excellent and we always had a great choice of vegetarians meals. The path is in general marked well and we just got lost in Tenby, but everybody was very helpful so it was no big deal. The highlight for us have been the seals we spotted and the countyside is amazing. I hope the feedback will help you. Regards Inge
Walk Summary – The first section of The Pembrokeshire Coast Path offers perhaps the greatest variety of the whole trail. From the rounded hills, pastoral wooded bays and sheltered coastal resorts at Tenby and Saundersfoot through to the wild and remote Limestone Stacks, Caves and blow holes at Stackpole Head and Castlemartin.
There are also sections of long sands, inland lakes and coastal...
