UK Autumn Experiences

With the end of summer, doesn’t have to come the end of adventure and new experiences.

As the nights draw in and the air begins to feel cooler, what better way to keep the seasonal depression at bay than by getting out into the great outdoors, hiking through the golden light of the forests as they explode into colour, or gasping as you plunge into the reinvigorating sea during an autumn surf, before warming your bones by a crackling campfire and a mug of hot chocolate.

Whether exploring the majestic Scottish Highlands, the idyllic Costwolds or the rugged Cornish coast, there is something beautiful about the landscape as it settles into an Autumn haze, and with fewer crowds and more unique experiences to choose from, it could be the perfect time to just get away from it all in 2021.

    Dear old England. You’d have thought that a country that can fit inside eleven US states would be easy to summarise. Well let us tell you it definitely is not! In fact, the phrase ‘the full package’ would be perfect to epitomise the country’s allure.

    Whether you’re looking for an invigorating activity holiday in England or a unique English day experience, there are plenty of local activities to choose from.

    “Great walk planned by David, the pace and scenery were perfect. David is friendly and relaxed organiser. Definitely one of the best events we did during our visit to Cornwall and Devon. Thank you David! If we’re ever in the area again, we will not hesitate to book another experience with him.”

    With a population of just five million people, Scotland is a popular holiday destination and welcomes over 14 million visitors a year. But don’t be fooled by its small size, Scotland is also mighty.

    Boasting a wonderful combination of wild and rural sights with thriving cities, it’s the perfect destination for those looking for a unique day experience or an invigorating activity holiday in Scotland.

    What an amazing day! Went to the Scottish borders with Sara and Maciek. They showed us all the hidden places and important buildings that you wouldn’t want to miss. Planned our whole day and filled it with adventurous and fun. I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to explore Scotland. Thank you for the lovely day

    Ancient and dignified with an air of wilderness and beauty, it’s easy to see why Wales has been a popular holiday destination for both history-lovers and outdoor thrillseekers over the years. Majestic castles perched above rolling green hills and spectacular coastline of wild, windswept beaches and wave-battered cliffs.

    Whether you’re looking for a quick break, Welsh day experience and more immersive activity holiday in Wales, there’s plenty on offer and Wales feels like home from the moment you arrive.

    “Fantastic weekend of trail running and yoga, thanks everyone! Food, glamping, yoga and running coaching all brilliant and an amazing place to spend a few days. Can I do this every weekend please?”
