Heritage Hotels
At ATG, we have carefully researched the most comfortable and convenient places on route that also offer local character and an insight into the regions we travel through. Our walking holidays stay in a huge variety of historical hotels, whether it’s a luxury 17th-century fortress with sea views, a converted mill with tranquil gardens or a former castle dating back to the sixth century.
The variety of accommodation adds to the charm of an ATG trip, with no two places alike.
