Adventure & Adrenaline Tours & Trips in UK and Great Britain
Picture Britain focused on outdoor activities rather than just castles and tea. Hike in the Lake District's fells, explore Scotland's Highlands, Wales' Snowdonia, and coastal paths in Cornwall and Pembrokeshire. The Yorkshire Dales, Peak District, Dartmoor all offer hiking, and add kayaking in Scottish lochs, surfing in Cornwall, and wild camping where Right to Roam permits. Britain's landscapes are beautiful in an understated way.

Tour was good. Enjoyed the sheepdog experience immensely. But the trip manager slept with people on the tour which ruined the mood.

Very friendly guide who made sure everybody had a great time. We were given enough time at each location we stopped at. Ireland is a beautiful place even if it rains and is well worth seeing.
