This article discusses the relationship between space, material practices, cognitive work and the emotions at work during a personal walking holiday as a way of contributing to a wider debate on walking tourism. In doing so, this article revises the concept of ‘dwelling-in-motion’ and employs a mobile perspective that combines both the phenomenological and post-phenomenological approaches to tourism and walking studies, focusing on pace and rhythm, mundane technology and affective atmospheres. These are aspects that become entangled in walking touristscapes as they are produced and challenged by routing, immersive and co-dwelling performances. The article concludes by suggesting that, not only can a ‘mobile ontology’ provide a more thorough account of walking tourism, it can also highlight the importance of understanding the place-making potential of walking tourism as a complex tourist mobility practice for which both precognitive and cognitive implications should be considered.
