Wandering Aengus Treks is an independent company providing self guided and guided walking holidays since 2001
Our Story
In 2001 Karen and Pete Royall set up Wandering Aengus Treks, offering high quality walking holidays in the UK. Our aim is simple: to provide quality walking holidays to those who love the fells and dales and places of natural beauty. For our self-guided options we offer a personalised service, comprehensive information pack, secure baggage transfer, and we take exceptional care in the choice of accommodation, to ensure you have the best experience possible.
We have established a range of self-guided Lake District walking tours, as well as easy-to-book walking holidays on the major popular Long Distance Paths (LDPs) of Northern England. We are also keen walking route developers so as well as the classics, we have one or two gems you won't find anywhere else!
We don't offer hundreds of itineraries from Lands End to John O' Groats, but our self-guided holidays are well researched, covering ground we walk ourselves and we pride ourselves on our good relationships with our local partners, whether that be your host on a long distance route, the person picking you up from the railway station, or the driver who delivers your luggage. With us you can relax knowing everything will be taken care of personally.
The last couple of years has been difficult for everyone and has turned the holiday industry upside down, but we are still here and ready to assist you with planning your next UK adventure. Give us a call or write to us at info@WATreks.com.
Wandering Aengus Treks also provide guiding services, particularly in the Lake District using qualified ML or IML leaders. Over the past 21 years we have provided services to schools, walking clubs and team-building groups from the public and private sector.
