What's New from Headwater's Cycling and Walking Holidays for 2010?

    KINGSTON-UPON, ENGLAND, March 14, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Headwater's 2010 Walking and Cycling Holidays now offer over 150 holidays in 35 different countries and islands - so here's your hot-off-the-press insight into what's new for the coming months.

New additions for walkers include an expansion of Headwater's traditional self guided hotel-to-hotel formula to include Spain's famous Camino de Santiago. Staying in the very best accommodations available, this luxury 10-night walking holiday follows one of the most ancient pilgrimage routes in the world before culminating in a magical finale in the stunning city of Santiago de Compostela.

How about an island-hopping tour of Sicily & the Aeolian Islands? Here, you'll have the opportunity to make a once-in-a-lifetime nocturnal ascent of Stromboli's spectacular volcano before spending your final day on mighty Mount Etna.

Or follow in St Francis' footsteps exploring the Umbrian countryside around Assisi re-tracing part of the route he took on his last visit to the town in 1226. Accommodation throughout is superb and includes a two-night stay on a prestigious 230-hectare estate in the heart of the Monte Subasio natural park. There is also a new Aspects of Assisi cycling route for people preferring to use pedal power to spin through this glorious countryside.

If you've not been on a bike for years, or simply fancy the idea of gentle activity by day with unabashed pampering in the evenings, then our new pancake-flat Mosel Valley cycling holiday should tick the right boxes! Lovely boutique hotels, some with pools and spas, make this a great choice for romantic couples too!

We know that some of you are put off by the thought of packing and moving on every couple of nights, so we've included three new single centre choices for 2010.

Walkers on our Vistas of Valencia guided holiday stay in the Spanish hill village of Parcent, just back from the coast yet seemingly unchanged over the centuries, whereas stay-put bases for independent cyclists have been expanded to include the hills above Venice and the hidden heartland of Mallorca. With bikes and full cycling routes/ maps provided, you're free to do as little or as much pedalling as the mood takes you!
