About Retired & Restless

Everyone deserves a little 'R&R' in their life

People are drawn immediately to the name Retired & Restless, we love it and so many people do too and it always raises a smile.  From the beginning we wanted a name that had a bit of fun about it but would also bring together like minded people to share in some truly memorable walking holidays and leisure breaks with great locations and quality holiday itineraries.  Our walking holidays and leisure breaks are aimed at active people aged 50 and above, although it's not uncommon for someone not quite 50yrs of age to join a Retired & Restless holiday.

We occasionally get asked if Retired & Restless holidays are just for people who are retired and no not at all, we attract a good mix of people, some who are still working, semi-retired and fully retired.  The key thing is that you like to be active, love the great outdoors and are open to exploring some wonderful UK destinations parts of which you may not have been to before.

At Retired & Restless, above all else, we pride ourselves on the quality of service to our customers, the personal attention that goes into each of our walking holidays and leisure breaks that all goes to ensuring you have a memorable holiday with us.

​Chris
Chris has a real passion for the outdoors with a great deal of knowledge on nature, wildlife, flora and fauna.  Chris' formative years were spent cycling, climbing and mountaineering throughout England and Scotland, with the occasional ice wall climb thrown in for good measure.  These days he's retired from climbing rock faces but Chris still definitely retains that sense of adventure and appreciation of the wild places whether he's leading a relaxing leisurely valley walk or a walk high in the hills.
