List of youth hostels in England and Wales

List of youth hostels in England and Wales

Add article description


There are many youth hostels in England and Wales. This article is intended to list all youth hostels operated by the Youth Hostels Association (England & Wales) (YHA), either presently or formerly, and also independent hostels. The list is split into sections: hostels currently operated by YHA, independent hostels, and others, where others include former hostels previously operated by, or as part of, YHA some time since the creation of YHA in 1931. The primary sources for these lists are given in the references section.

The locations of hostels having coordinates listed (which should be just the current hostels) may be seen in linked OSM/Google/Bing map.

The majority of the hostels in this section have closed, but there may be some that now operate as independent hostels that are no longer part of YHA (if any of these are identified, they should be moved to the section above).
