Within easy reach of the South, the Cotswolds is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with sleepy villages built of mellow Cotswold stone, and rolling hills full of delightful low level walks. This weekend break is based at the very comfortable and friendly Cleeve Hill House Hotel which lies only 100 yards from the Cotswold Way at Cleeve Hill and shares the same superb vantage point. From here we can make a wide meandering circuit of Cleeve Hill with views in all directions, or there's a lovely walk from the un-spoilt village of Winchcombe, stopping to see the wonderful gardens at Sudeley Castle. There can also be an extra walk on Friday afternoon if you can arrive by 1pm. Cleeve Hill House Hotel is beautifully decorated with ensuite rooms - mainly doubles that we can take as singles, and two attractive and spacious twin rooms with very good views (Ensuite single supplement £10 a night). Delicious breakfasts are served in the light and airy conservatory, and in the evening we can eat at the hotel, or stroll out to sample good eating places in the village. Cleeve Hill is 15 minutes by taxi from Cheltenham station. (Evening meals are not included - from £15).

This April weekend is based at the Cromwell House Hotel in Lulworth Cove, allowing us to explore the beautiful Dorset coast in each direction - taking the path from the village to Durdle Door and beyond on one day, and walking to stunning Mupes Bay on the other. If you can arrive by 1pm on Friday, there can be an extra walk inland from the Cove. (These coastal walks are all well within the Low Intermediate grade, but may involve more 'up' and 'down' than some other low intermediate destinations). Lulworth Cove lies between Swanage and Weymouth, and is a short taxi ride from Wool station on the Waterloo to Weymouth line. Cromwell House is a comfortable 2 star hotel 200m from the sea front with ensuite twin and single rooms available.

Grasmere has plenty of intermediate walks to tempt us this weekend. Wild Blea Rigg is always wonderfully deserted despite its stunning views of the Langdale Pikes from the top. Or there's Helm Crag overlooking Grasmere, with a long ridge walk to follow, returning down Far Easedale valley. On the Sunday we could climb a grassy path from Alcock Tarn to reach the Heron Pike ridge with views over Grasmere and Rydal Water, or we might head for Loughrigg Fell and walk back past secluded Loughrigg Tarn - so don't book your train home too early! This Lake District weekend break is based at Glenthorne Guest House in Grasmere with comfortable rooms, a lovely garden, and excellent food - including free tea and cakes! Guided by Sarah.
