This week, HF Holidays colleagues Jenny & Sarah joined guests and HF Leader Adrian on a guided walk along part of the Tinners Way in Cornwall to see the results of a recent Pathways Fund project.

Working with the West Cornwall Footpaths Preservation Society, the HF Holidays Pathways Fund donated £3,700 towards improvements on two routes regularly enjoyed by our guests: a section of the Tinners Way between St Ives and Trevalgan, and Paul 35, an inland route near Mousehole.

The ongoing work has included a new bench (as seen modelled here!), handrails and critical repairs to several stiles.
As a member-owned co-operative, it is rewarding to see the generosity of our members and guests helping to protect the paths that make our walking holidays possible, while supporting all walkers and the communities surrounding our HF Country Houses.

You can read more about our Pathways Fund and the projects it has recently supported at www.hfholidays.co.uk/pathways.

Happy Yorkshire Day from the top of Yorkshire! 🥾

Thank you to HF Leader Nigel for sharing this photo of his group who made it to the summit of Whernside, the highest of the Yorkshire Three Peaks, during a Classic Guided Walking holiday from Thorns Hall, Sedbergh.

The sunshine through the clouds in this photo looks idyllic... but moments later, the group was caught in a violent hailstorm. The twists and turns of walking in the British countryside!

If you're looking for a challenge, we still have availability on our 2026 Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge holidays.
