Solo Walking Holidays & Sociable Walking Weekends in the UK
Joining a trip on your own can feel like a big step, so our solo walking holidays and sociable walking weekends are designed to make things straightforward from the moment you arrive. With Large Outdoors, you’ll be part of a small, friendly group exploring UK landscapes at a relaxed, enjoyable pace, guided by leaders who focus on your safety and comfort.
Whether you prefer coast, countryside, or rolling moorland, every trip brings a supportive atmosphere where conversations come easily and you can enjoy the simple pleasure of walking with others.

Why Our Trips Work Well for Solo Walkers
Most participants join our trips on their own, so you’ll quickly feel part of the group. There’s no membership to worry about and no cliques. Our guides and hosts are there to bring the group together, organise the practical details, and help everyone settle in.
Group sizes are small, making it easy to get to know people without pressure. Walks are fully guided, and itineraries are planned to be sociable, enjoyable, and suited to the level described on each event page.

What You Can Expect
Each trip includes fully guided walks, clear meeting arrangements, and a friendly host supporting the group throughout. Many of our trips also offer single rooms or room-share options, along with meals or group dinners. The focus is on relaxed, social time without feeling organised or forced.
Our trips are open to anyone comfortable with the walking level described, and many walkers join us to build confidence, meet new people, or simply enjoy time outdoors with others.
