Dovedale Peak District Some places in England look like they were designed for the lid of a biscuit tin. Dovedale Peak District is one of them. The River Dove runs through a steep, green limestone valley on the border of Derbyshire and Staffordshire, and visitors can see most of it on foot with nothing fancier

Pembrokeshire Coast Path The Pembrokeshire Coast Path is one of the best-known long-distance walks in Britain, and it earns that reputation within the first few miles. The trail runs for 186 miles (299 km) between Amroth in the south and St Dogmaels in the north, following cliff tops, sandy coves, harbours and estuaries for almost

Isle of Arran Scotland The Isle of Arran sits in the Firth of Clyde, close enough to Glasgow for a day trip yet varied enough to fill a week. Locals often call it “Scotland in miniature,” and the description holds up: rugged granite peaks rise in the north, gentler farmland and forest spread across the

A path follows the River Trevillet through old, ivy-covered woodland until the river drops about 60 feet through a natural hole in the rock. That

Aira Force Aira Force is one of the best-known waterfalls in the Lake District, and it is easy to see why. Aira Beck drops about 65 feet (20 metres) into a wooded gorge close to the western shore of Ullswater. The main falls are dramatic, the woodland around them is worth exploring in its own

Beinn Eighe Few mountains in Britain announce themselves the way Beinn Eighe does. Drive west along the A896 through Glen Torridon and the whole northern side of the glen is taken up by a long, pale ridge that looks dusted with snow even in August. That pale colour is quartzite scree, sitting on much older
