REVIEWS
Marc from Walking in Circles designed a great self-guided monopoly trail for a hen do I was organising. We had various specific requirements which Marc was happy to accommodate, and he was so friendly and responsive over email. The route he designed was great and all of our party really enjoyed seeing the various landmarks around London. Marc also produced a lovely personalised guide and certificate which the hen loved, as well as collection of all the photos after the walk, which is a beautiful keepsake. Thank so much Marc, we all had a great time!

I had an excellent experience interacting with the owner of the Walking in Circles, Marc Jerrard. From the initial enquiry email, Marc was incredibly responsive to every query I sent. No matter how small the question, he made sure to provide a thoughtful and timely response. He went above and beyond to assist with any updates or requests (quicken the route by using local transport). It’s uncommon to encounter someone so dedicated and helpful, and I could really feel his passion for making my experience with the family as perfect as possible. The children had an amazing time and have already mentioned it to their family and friends about the enjoyable experience.
Whether you're looking for information or need help navigating, you can count on the Marc to provide clear guidance and support. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend working with Marc to get the best out of a day in London doing the Monopoly walk!

Winter hiking in the UK is a magical experience. From snow-covered peaks in Scotland to frost-kissed moorlands in England, the colder months reveal a serene and untouched side of the country’s landscapes. However, winter hiking requires preparation, knowledge, and respect for the elements. This blog will guide you through everything you need to know about winter hiking in the UK, from some of the best routes, to winter skills training, to essential safety tips.
