Let's chase new adventures
The Scottish Highlands
It's true, the Scottish Highlands are exactly how you picture Scotland to be. This is the ideal setting for your next adventure, thanks to its friendly locals, distinct culture, breathtaking scenery, charming castles, and rich history. It's easy to see why National Geographic picked it as one of the 2023 "Best of the World" places.
The Highlands have a reputation as a picturesque region of Scotland. Considering the breathtaking unspoiled environment of the area, with its rocky mountains, deep blue lochs, and deserted glens where regal Red Deer roam the hills and Eagles soar overhead, this is not at all surprising. The mysterious air of the Highlands can be attributed in part to the region's rapid and unpredictable weather patterns. The hills are there one minute and gone the next. The snow-capped mountains in the winter provide a dazzling touch to the already beautiful landscape of the Highlands, where sunny spells and gloomy shadows alternate over the landscape.

The Jurassic Coast
The Jurassic Coast stretches for miles along the coasts of Dorset and Devon in southern England. Because of the exceptional rocks, fossils, and landforms found there, it has been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Millions of tourists from all over the world flock to see the Jurassic Coast every year, making it one of Britain's top tourist attractions. It would take a lifetime to uncover all of its mysteries and treasures, but your senses will be rewarded with an immediate sense of the place's special history and personality the moment you set eyes on it. The Jurassic Coast is where geology is the main attraction. It is the only location on our planet where you can see rocks from the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous periods all together, spanning 185 million years of Earth's history. |

Cornwall Cornwall is 92 percent rural, and it's not hard to see why: it has beautiful beaches, hidden gems, and unspoiled countryside. From Bude to Land's End, there is a wide variety of landscapes and beaches to enjoy along the coast. If you're looking for hikes in Cornwall, you can't miss the coastal walks, where you can see wildlife, experience different microclimates, and even stumble upon a historic engine house. Cornwall's coast offers a wide variety of walks, from strenuous treks to easy strolls. Don't miss the chance to see marine life like seals, dolphins, and birds. |

White Cliffs of Dover The White Cliffs of Dover are an iconic sight, the white chalk face a symbol of home and wartime defense, but they have so much more to offer: breathtaking vistas, a tranquil walk, animals, history, and two tea houses serving wonderful delicacies. Dover's White Cliffs offer ever-changing views. When it's sunny and the sea is quiet, you can stroll across the cliffs and take in the breathtaking views across the channel. On the clearest days, you can even see the buildings in France. |
The road goes on forever, and the party never ends

Bath
Bath, the only English city to be designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a gorgeous town filled with history. On the surrounding hills are artifacts from the Bronze and Iron Ages. Two of Jane Austen's novels are set in Bath, where she lived and wrote. At the Jane Austen Centre, you can find out more about Austen and her characters, whose stories provide a great deal of historical insight into Regency Bath life.

Glencoe
A deep valley and towering mountains of Glen Coe were carved out centuries ago by icy glaciers and volcanic explosions in the Lochaber Geopark in the Highlands. It has even been featured in film, including Skyfall and several Harry Potter movies.

Isle of Skye Known in Old Norse as 'cloud island,' the Isle of Skye is the second-largest of all the Scottish islands, and undoubtedly one of the most beautiful. It has drawn tourists in for centuries with its moors, jagged peaks, deep lochs, and sea cliffs, and today it is Scotland's most popular tourist destination after Edinburgh. You can expect to hike the best trails on the Isle of Skye on these days, such as the Neist Point Trail, The Quiraing, and Old Man of Storr. |
