Featured Trail:
Wye Valley Walk

The Wye Valley Walk is a fantastic showcase of superb Welsh landscapes and insightful history, with a bonus jaunt through the scenic county of Herefordshire. The trail leads through dramatic gorges, dense woodland, pretty villages and peaceful river meadows, as well as a variety of heritage attractions such as Tintern Abbey, Goodrich Castle and Hereford Cathedral, offering plenty to see and explore along the way.

Great British Trees

From our splendid native species to a host of unusual examples imported from abroad, the UK is home to a stunning array of trees. They’re integral to the character of our walking trails, dappling our riverside paths in shade, forming defining landmarks and providing windbreaks out on the highest paths through the countryside.

Here are just a few of the famous species and stand-out individual specimens you might meet while out on your walking holiday.
