GUIDED WALKING IN THE BLACK MOUNTAINS

Be inspired by the Great Outdoors!

The Path Ahead offers guided walks to private individuals, businesses and other organisations in Herefordshire, Monmouthshire and surrounding areas (plus visitors to this wonderful region).

Together, we explore the breathtaking natural landscapes of the Black Mountains to help you get away from every-day pressures, relax and reset, and return feeling refreshed and inspired.

All walks are designed and led by Paul Christodoulou, who is qualified as a Hill and Moorland Leader, and has over 30 years' experience of safely guiding hill walks across the UK and beyond.

Welcome!

Hill Walking has been a lifelong passion for me, and I hope to able to share this with you through The Path Ahead.

There’s something special about combining fresh air, the rhythm of walking, and the inspirational lift of nature. It clears the mind, puts things in perspective, and lifts the spirits.

And of course Hill Walking is a great way to maintain physical, mental and spiritual good health.

So I look forward to taking you out into the wonderful Black Mountains for a rewarding and refreshing day out.
