Choose More Walking, Less Travelling

Highlights
  • Less Travel. More Trail - Skip the long-haul stress and step quickly from airport, train station or car park to open landscapes.
  • Arrive Easy. Explore Deeply - From Scotland’s wild drivable trails to Switzerland’s mountains and Ireland’s Wicklow Way, adventure begins immediately.
  • Far Away, Made Simple - Feel a world away in incredible landscapes that are surprisingly easy to reach, with every detail taken care of.

Big Trails, Easy Arrivals

The right adventure shouldn’t begin with a complicated travel itinerary. It should begin with fresh air, open landscapes, and the satisfying crunch of your first step on the trail.

These are the trips where getting from home to adventure is refreshingly straightforward. No long-haul travel days. No fiddly connections. Just remarkable landscapes within easy reach - by train, transfer, or a short flight.

Head north to Scotland and discover the wild beauty of the North Coast 500. Explore honey-coloured villages along the Cotswold Trail. Cycle from Oxford to Bath through quintessential English scenery. Or cross the Irish Sea for Dublin and the Wicklow Way, where green hills and quiet trails await.

These are the kinds of journeys that feel a world away from everyday life, yet are surprisingly easy to reach. Because a great adventure shouldn’t start with travel stress. It should start on the trail. With iconic routes, straightforward arrivals, and every detail taken care of. Choose more trail. Less travel.

Discover Choose More Walking, Less Travelling

  • Choose the trail without the travel headache

    Some adventures make you earn the trail before you’ve even started walking. Multiple flights, long transfers, and a suitcase full of patience. These aren’t those adventures. 

    We prefer a simpler approach. A direct flight, a short train or bus ride, and suddenly you’re standing at the start of something spectacular. One moment you’re in the city, the next you’re following a path through Highland glens, alpine lakes, or the rolling green hills of Ireland. 

    No complicated logistics. Just the satisfying moment when the pavement ends, and the trail begins.

  • Choose maximizing your time away from home

    A few days away can do wonders, especially when those days are spent outside. 

    These trips are designed to maximize your time where it matters – on the trail. Instead of losing days to travel, you'll spend them wandering through quiet valleys, tracing lakeshore paths, and discovering small towns that feel a world away from everyday life. 

    Afternoons end with a scenic viewpoint, a cozy café, or perhaps a well-earned local drink. Because sometimes the best escape isn’t the longest one. It’s the one where every day feels well spent.
