Highlights of the United Kingdom
Lake District
This rolling national park, a World Heritage Site, is home to over 200 fells, pikes and dales means it’s a mecca for walkers and outdoor enthusiasts. A
walking vacation in the Lake District is the perfect way to explore, from the iconic Scafell Pike to lesser-known hill trails and lake-side routes. The Cat Bells Circular hike even made it into the
35 best hikes in the world! The otherworldly beauty of the Lake District inspired Beatrix Potter, Wordsworth and Ruskin, as well as countless artists.
Snowdonia
This Welsh national park is characterized by dramatic jagged mountains, hidden tarns and wildflowers, and is perfect for a
walking vacation. Snowdon itself is, of course, a huge draw and we walk up the quietest and best route, but there are countless other beautiful walks in
Snowdonia to be discovered, such as the Glyders and Cnicht mountain, the Matterhorn of Wales.
Northumberland
This area in the north east of England is a lesser-visited pocket of the UK with so much to offer. Discover countless imposing castles and explore the winding roman architecture of Hadrian’s Wall, which flanks the north of the county, on a
cultural Northumberland vacation. Cycle the breadth of the county on a
coast-to-coast cycling trip, or
explore on foot and visit the place that David Attenborough called ‘nature’s paradise’ - the Farne Islands, where clusters of puffins cling to the rocks.
Scottish Isles
Discover another side to the UK and
cruise the wild Scottish islands to discover abundant seabird, puffin and arctic tern. Hop from island to island to uncover ancient relics, towering monoliths and Iron Age dwellings steeped in historical significance. Photograph and wonder at wildlife like fulmars, kittiwakes, guillemots, gannets, dolphins and whales.
