A self-guided walking holiday celebrating the many historic sites associated with St Cuthbert.
From £620 per person
St Cuthbert's Way follows the story of a 7th century saint who travelled through Scotland and northern England, spreading the Gospel and performing healing miracles. Beginning at Melrose, where the saint started his ministry, and ending at Holy Island, where he ended his days, the trail passes through scenery of great variety and beauty.
The walk takes in heather-clad hills, tranquil riverbanks and old Roman roads, visiting attractive villages and border towns along the way. Particular sites of interest include the ruin of Dryburgh Abbey, Cessford Castle, St Cuthbert's Cave and the Holy Island of Lindisfarne, complete with its ruined abbey and spectacular castle.
Both of our holiday options follow St Cuthbert's Way from end to end, but our mainland option returns to the shore for the final night's stay. If you would prefer to stay on Holy Island, select the Holy Island option from the list below.
Dogs are welcome on select routes along this trail. Look for the pawprint icon when choosing your holiday.
From £641 per person
This 62-mile holiday option takes in the complete St Cuthbert’s Way, staying in accommodation on the Holy Island of Lindisfarne at the end of the walk. This is a great opportunity to spend more time exploring this historical island and provides a spectacular finale for your walking holiday.

“We enjoyed our holiday very much, it was a real adventure.”Mr Stanton, UK
“Though relatively short this was a superb walk through quiet countryside, a mix of hill walking as well as riverside paths, woodland walks and tracks crossing farmland. Highly recommended. It helped that the weather was fine, sunny and (especially on the last two days) hot. This was our 7th walk with Contours.”Mr Gill, UK
