HF Holidays

HF Holidays is an award-winning British heritage brand, specialising in walking and special-interest holidays since 1913. The company offers over 260 thoughtfully curated guided and self-guided tours and holidays in six continents, covering nearly 40 destinations across Europe and the rest of the world. The company also owns and manages 16 characterful UK country houses, all of which are just a skip away from some of the best-loved national parks.

As a company that’s all about the great outdoors, HF Holidays has put care for the climate firmly on its agenda. The brand is aiming to be net zero by 2040 and is working towards this goal with a formal strategy that reduces the carbon intensity of its offerings by 5% each year.

By employing local guides on its Europe and worldwide holidays, the company is helping to reduce flight emissions. At its UK properties, HF Holidays has rolled out EV chargers and recycle points and has removed all single-use plastics. It’s also in the process of installing smart meters to identify opportunities for improved energy efficiency. The company prioritises suppliers that commit net zero in areas such as food, beverage, waste, and linen.

Through its long-established Pathways Fund, HF Holidays also raises money to protect, preserve, and improve the UK countryside where its guests and members walk. The company believes that everyone has the right to enjoy the outdoors, so the fund is also used to provide assisted holidays for people who can’t afford a holiday due to difficult personal circumstances.
