Our Story

Welcome to Rural Rambles Travel Ltd., your dedicated partner in discovering the breathtaking beauty and authentic charm of the British countryside. Founded in the heart of Yorkshire, our company was born from a deep-seated love for rural life and a desire to share its wonders with others. For over a decade, we have been crafting immersive and enriching experiences that connect travellers with the true essence of British agriculture and rural heritage.

Our journey began with humble roots, organising small, bespoke farm visits for local enthusiasts. Word quickly spread about the unique and heartfelt experiences we offered. From these small beginnings, Rural Rambles Travel has blossomed into a leading agricultural tourism company, renowned for our commitment to authenticity, sustainability, and creating truly unforgettable memories for our guests. We are more than just a travel company; we are storytellers, connecting people with the land, the farmers, and the traditions that make the British countryside so special.

We believe in travel that enriches and educates, that respects and supports local communities, and that leaves a positive impact on the places we visit. Our team, comprised of passionate rural advocates and experienced travel professionals, works tirelessly to ensure every tour, every stay, and every itinerary we create is infused with this ethos. We are proud to be based in York, a city steeped in history and surrounded by stunning rural landscapes, which serves as a constant inspiration for our work.
