Experience a burst of colours on a journey through the picturesque landscapes of North Yorkshire along the enchanting Cleveland Way, where wild daffodils bloom during April and May. These springtime treasures, believed to be planted by monks from the nearby Rievaulx Abbey, create a beautiful spectacle in the Farndale Valley. Immerse yourself in nature's beauty along the dedicated mile-long 'daffodil walk'—an inspiring testament to the region's rich history and vibrant spring allure.

 

 

Renowned the world over, the yellow brick stones found all across the Cotswolds give this part of England a warm and welcoming feel. We particularly recommend villages such as Burton on the Water, Lower Slaughter and Chipping Camden. 

 

 

Some of the UK’s most stunning bluebell woods can be found on Guernsey. When the flowers bloom in early spring, you will want to head to the patches of old forest that can be found along the trail of the Channel Island Way. Other places to admire the bluebells are in the Cotswolds or Cumbria. 

 

 

The white chalky cliffs found along the south-eastern coast of England make for stunning coastal views. It’s not only the coastline where you’ll find the white chalk though, the South Downs Way passes chalk streams, world’s largest dry chalk valley and, of course, the chalk ridge that defines the trail.

 

 

If you’re after a patchwork of green, head to the Scottish Highlands and in particular the Great Glen Way. It is a long distance walking trail that crosses the heart of Scotland and includes forests, farmland, and Ben Nevis – the UK’s highest mountain.

 

 

When following the ancient relic that is Hadrian’s Wall, including its forts, it is predominantly a grey-reddish colour that you’ll see. The wall stretches 84 miles, all the way from the aptly named Wallsend in Newcastle Upon Tyne to the quaint village of Bowness-on-Solway. So, expect to see lots of variations as the Romans used building materials that were available nearby.
