What we’re about
Welcome to Trail Therapy!
We organise a range of fun, adventurous, and stunning hikes around London and the UK with the aim of getting people out of the city and into nature! Regardless if you are new to hiking or a seasoned walker, we have a trip for you.
We are building an inclusive community of like-minded people, who love the outdoors, staying active, and being in great company. Our members are mostly in their 20s & 30s, living & working in London, and are international and friendly. Many people join us solo and leave with new friends.
Join us and discover why our day trips are more than just hikes - they're therapy, on a trail.
