Highlights of the United Kingdom

If climbing to the top of  Snowdon is on your bucket list, our Snowdonia Walking Break will take you on a scenic trek to the summit of this iconic Welsh pinnacle. Enjoy sweeping views across the peaks and troughs of the Welsh valleys, and towards the wild Irish Sea, on this quieter, and arguably prettier, route away from the main tourist tracks. Mind the sheep as you gain height, edging towards the top, and feel a huge sense of achievement as you ascend the last few steps to the highest point in Wales. 

Escape to a lesser-visited part of the UK with a small group discovery trip to Northumberland. This secret gem boasts beautiful wild fells veiled in soft purple heather, and grand relics of a bygone era including Linsifarne Castle, Berwick Ramparts and the Vindolanda Roman fort. Walk along Hadrian’s Wall on our walking trip to Northumberland to discover timeworn milecastles and turrets or pedal the width of England to Northumberland’s east coast on our Cycling Coast to Coast Tour. 

Discover towering limestone cliffs, secluded creeks and unspoilt golden beaches on a walking vacation along the UK’s wild Pembrokeshire Coast. Typically quieter than Cornwall and Devon, Pembrokeshire is a place where you can really get up close with an abundance of seabirds, colourful wildflowers and maybe even an Atlantic grey seal. Wander through bluebell woods and wildlife-rich marshes at Abermawr Bay and explore the traditional fishing harbour of Abercastle before joining a sea kayaking excursion along the clear, turquoise-hued waters of the Atlantic.

Teeming with puffin colonies and world-famous archaeological sites, the landscapes of the Orkney Islands are a must-visit for all walkers. On the Mainland you’ll find the Brough of Deerness, a settlement dating back to the Viking ages, as well as an eerie collapsed sea cave. Meanwhile, the Isle of Westray - home to just 600 people - boasts one of the largest seabird colonies in the British Isles, with puffin normally being spotted between April and mid-August. For a dive into the past, Rousay Island boasts an abundance of archaeological monuments, earning it the nickname of ‘The Egypt of the North’.

Combining the beautifully scenic landscapes and cultural heritage of North Yorkshire, the Yorkshire Dales are idyllic for walkers of all skill levels. On a Yorkshire Dales trekking trip, you’ll take a glimpse into the past at Castle Bolton - once a prison to Mary Queen of Scots - as well as at the Ribblehead Viaduct, a feat of Victorian engineering. Meanwhile, in the present, wander the charming town of Settle where you’ll find bustling markets and picturesque countryside.
