Derbyshire
- Peak District
This is an easy to moderate hill walking area
with huge contrasts in scenery. The wild rolling grit stone and heather
moor land to the north perfectly compliment the southern Peak District
with it’s
green pastoral landscape cut by spectacular water worn limestone
valleys. This is a great area for bird watching photography and an
abundance of history
and beautiful buildings in the local villages.
Many trips and outings are possible on rest
days from visiting caves
to cable car rides. |
|
Lake District
The beautiful fells sitting above lush wooded hillsides and huge sparkling
lakes were
the inspiration for Wordsworth and Wainwright and it is
easy to see why as there is something for everyone here. Hard walks
and scrambles up Scafell Pike, Helvellyn and Skiddaw to name but
a few, to easy strolls on the many miles of easy footpaths through
the wooded and pastoral valleys or beside the glittering lakes.
On
rest days you are spoilt for choice with museums form Beatrix Potter
to the Reged mountaineering exhibition, boat trips, teashops and
lots of places to go bird watching. |

Norfolk and Suffolk
With its fantastic coastline, sandy beaches, long shingle spits,
chalk cliffs and many estuaries and rivers this area has a unique
and unspoilt beauty.
These counties are gently undulating and provide a fantastic backdrop
for amazing sky
and seascapes which have inspired generations of artists
like John Constable, Alfred Blundell and Thomas Moore. It is no surprise
that the Broads are soon to be given
national parks status and that
the big RSPB reserves of Minsmere and Titchwell are
found here. |
|
The north Norfolk and Suffolk coasts and heaths long distance paths
give easy access
to beautiful scenery including historic seaside towns
like Aldeburgh, Southwold and Dunwich in Suffolk and Blakeney, Wells
and Cley in Norfolk. Away from the coast there
is a mixture of woodland,
heath and farmland criss-crossed by small rivers with many beautiful
villages having old thatched houses and flint churches. |
|
The Broads is a nationally important area of
rivers and manmade waterways drained in centuries past by the Dutch,
who built majestic windmills which still stand tall on
pastoral farmland
surrounded by reed beds and marsh. This is most famously home to
bitterns, marsh harriers, otters and swallowtail butterflies. We
can take you out for the
day on the broads either by motor boat or
for a sail in a classic broad’s
yacht to see this area at its very best. |
|
North Yorkshire
Lush green valleys criss-crossed with dry stone walls
and dotted with field barns, rocky outcrops and open fells, waterfalls
and rivers interspersed with picturesque villages.
This area lends
itself to easy and moderate walking on many good footpaths through
a pastoral landscape that has changed little over the years.
Walks
can be tied in with a trip on a steam train on the North Yorkshire
moors or
Settle – Carlisle steam railways. This is an area
made famous by James Herriot and Heartbeat and it is excellent for
bird watching and photography. |
|
South West Scotland - Dunfries & Galloway
This
area is steeped in history and cannot fail to warm the heart and
relax the soul,
with its rugged cliffs, sandy beaches, rolling hills
and indigenous ancient woodland.
Many pretty fishing harbours, ancient
castles and monuments testify to mans love of
this area.
A great
location for easy and moderate walking through varied coastal and
mountain
areas with super opportunities for bird watching, photography,
painting and sketching. Self-catering and fully catered options in
sea front accommodation. |

Highlands - West Coast of
Scotland
This is the land of the ancient giants rising out of beautiful glens
such as Glen Orchy,
Glen Etive, Glen Lochy, Glen Coe and Glen Nevis with their sparkling
lakes and streams.
This is a rugged landscape with majestic peaks
and soaring ridges a truly wild area inhabited by red deer, ptarmigan
and the golden eagle. An area for moderate valley walking or hard mountain
peaks like Ben Nevis and the other Munro’s. |
|
Wales - Snowdonia
North Wales is a mountainous area of towering rock faces and awesome
valleys.
Snowdon, the Glyders and the Carneddau give the opportunity
for many hard walking
and scrambling days with spectacular ridges,
rocky peaks and mountain corries filled
with numerous tarns. |
|
Mid Wales is largely a more gentle landscape.
The remote heather covered Rhinogs give
a variety of easy and moderate
walking in true wilderness with beautiful sea views.
Cadair Idris – Arthur’s
seat is the giant in this area and provides more challenging
walks.
The surrounding lowland woods and estuaries have an abundance of
birds and
wild flowers. |
