| Dorset, England |
Rivaling some of Europe’s most scenic coastlines, Dorset’s spectacular Jurassic Coast is England’s first UNESCO Natural World Heritage Site and represents 185 million years of history. A mix of sweeping beaches, rolling hills and the world-famous Durdle Door, it’s an awe-inspiring backdrop for a 5-night walking or cycling tour.
On our Jewels of the Jurassic Coast Walk you’ll follow in smugglers’ footsteps along the magnificent South West Coast Path; enjoy splendid views towards the Isle of Wight as you walk the Purbeck Way; and round off your holiday in style on the exclusive Sandbanks Peninsula.
Opt for two wheels on our Dorset and the Jurassic Coast Cycling holiday and you’ll journey from the classic seaside town of Weymouth towards Sandbanks, taking in iconic Chesil Beach, historic Dorchester and Thomas Hardy’s National Trust home, and the dramatic ruins of Corfe Castle.
Why not choose an electric bike and make light work of those beautiful Dorset hills? Read more on our blog here.
The Highlands around Loch Ness offer some of the UK’s most jaw-dropping scenery, with wild and mysterious landscapes that both intrigue and inspire. Majestic forests, fjord-like lochs and crumbling castles steeped in history are a wonderful basis for a tranquil, away-from-it-all experience. Our 5-night Loch Ness and the Caledonian Canal Walk explores the remote, southern side of Loch Ness, with its misty, heather-clad moors, spectacular gorges and crashing waterfalls. You’ll take in the tranquil Caledonian Canal and Great Glen Way, not to mention a plethora of picturesque lochs and rivers. On our 4-night Loch Ness and the Highlands Cycling holiday, beautiful shaded forest, sparkling lochs and fragrant fern-clad hills line your route to Fort Augustus, before you re-trace Scottish history at Culloden and C14 Cawdor Castle. Your final night is spent in vibrant Inverness, in the shadow of the city’s castle. |
