A week of Classic Peak District Walks spanning the rugged remoteness of the Dark Peak to the tranquil lowlands of the White Peak. We explore some of the areas best walking and delve into the social and natural history that has shaped the area.

Despite the fact that Armenia is a small country it has a surprisingly rich diversity of flora and fauna. About 345 bird species are recorded here! By choosing our exclusive Birding Tour in Armenia you will have a great opportunity to take part in a 10-day journey and observe many kinds of semi-desert, forest, high-mountain and water birds.

Istria, the small, easily accessible heart-shaped peninsula at the head of the Adriatic, is divided between Croatia, Slovenia and Italy. On this walking holiday, discover Istra's ancient ports and fishing villages along the coast with daily two to four hour walks along paths strewn with orchids and wildflowers. Visit medieval hilltop towns and fresco-filled churches inland as well as the smallest town in the world.

The Orkney archipelago, a patchwork collection of 67 islands across the Pentland Firth from the north-eastern coast of Scotland, has been inhabited for over 8,000 years and contains some of the oldest and best-preserved Neolithic sites in Europe. The UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Neolithic Heart of Orkney consists of the Chambered Cairn at Maeshowe; the Standing Stones of Stenness; the stone Ring of Brodgar and Skara Brae, an original Stone Age village.

Daily walks in inspiring coastal scenery, accompanied by the cries of myriads of nesting birds, complement the historical content of the tour. During our week’s stay on the aptly named Mainland community, we visit 4 other islands, some by road, using causeways constructed to impede the progress of the German navy, others by short ferry crossings.
