Welcome to Large Outdoors – Your Friendly Nationwide Walking Community

Since 2008, we've been bringing people together through expertly guided walking adventures across the UK. What started as a small group has grown into a thriving community where the majority of our adventurers arrive solo and leave with new friendships that last a lifetime.

Our huge number of repeat customers tells the real story – they come back time and time again because Large Outdoors feels like being part of a special nationwide outdoor club. We're all about creating that perfect balance of adventure and relaxation, where every detail is sorted for you so you can simply focus on enjoying yourself.

We take care of everything – from comfortable accommodation ranging from cosy guest houses and hotels to characterful hostels and cottages, plus all the logistics that make your trip flow seamlessly. Choose from single rooms for privacy, shared rooms with fellow adventurers of the same sex, or twin and double rooms perfect for friends or couples.
