With all of us in the UK confined to our homes and not able to travel around the country, you might be dreaming about where you’ll go and what you’ll do once the lockdown restrictions start to be lifted later in the year.
An article for Hello! Magazine recently shared the findings of a survey carried out by UAE property portal Bayut, which found that over one-third of Brits (36 per cent) intend to go on a staycation within the UK later this year.
This option beat visiting the beaches of Spain, travelling to America, or going to Italy or Greece for a getaway.
If you live in a city or large town and haven’t been able to get out into the countryside easily during this period, then you might be craving the solitude and openness of some of the UK’s natural landscapes.
Exploring the options for walking tours in Scotland’s Highlands could be the ideal solution if you want to enjoy some of the country’s most impressive natural landscapes.
If you’re in need of some inspiration, you can take a look at our blog about the best places in Scotland for a walking holiday. Among our favourite spots are Ben Nevis and the Berwickshire Coastal Path.
Ben Nevis is, of course, the UK’s highest peak and while many avid hikers aim to scale it each year, there are plenty of more gentle trails around its foothills, which means there’s something for everyone.
For a flavour of the coast, Berwickshire is the place to visit. Among the highlights on the 28.5 mile trail, which is usually tackled over the course of two to four days, are the charming harbour town of St Abbs and the Pease Bay nature reserve.
