Highlights of the United Kingdom

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 holiday 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. 

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 - is home to 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’.

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.
