You can choose from a great variety of walks here, starting with magnificent clifftop trails, followed by diverse terrains which are rich in wildlife. Both the extensive moorland and lowland heath provide tremendous trekking, too.

4) Northumberland Experience

Enjoy five days of walking and sightseeing amongst the rugged coast, ancient castles and charming gardens of Northumberland - an area steeped in history and natural beauty. 

5) The Isles of Scilly - Adagio Collection

The warm waters of the Gulf Stream ensure the Scilly Islands have an exceptionally mild climate and their relative remoteness has an Englishness of a bygone age in an unspoilt sub-tropical paradise. During our holiday we will make use of the local ferries and visit five inhabited islands. A day will be spent on each of St Mary’s, Bryher, Tresco, St Agnes and St Martin’s. Gentle walks will be provided each day so you can really get to know the islands and of course visit the beautiful beaches.

6) Nettlecombe - Somerset

We stay at FSC Nettlecombe Court, beautifully situated and probably our only accommodation that offers its own church in the grounds. It is also in the centre of all the best walking.  To the west, the rugged grandeur of Exmoor awaits. To the east lie the Quantocks where the gentle scenery of woods and red sandstone villages inspired Coleridge and Wordsworth. Then to north the Somerset coast offers beaches, pretty harbour villages and cliffs.

7) Gardens of the Channel Islands - Adagio Collection

Enjoy the stunning scenery and heritage sites of Guernsey, and visit Sark and Herm for a day each. You’ll have the chance to visit public and private gardens, see wild flowers lining cliff paths and lanes and discover each of the Islands’ natural beauty. We stay in the parish of St Martin, only a 10-minute drive from Guernsey’s capital of St Peter Port. St Martin is a quiet rural village, ideally situated for the island’s popular beaches and south coast cliff views.  

8) Hassness Country House, The Lake District 

Beautifully located in its own extensive grounds on the shores of Buttermere in the Western Lake District, Hassness Country House provides a welcoming and peaceful atmosphere for each and every guest, with some of the worlds' best walking paths right on the doorstep.
