This week we talk about why England and Wales are such a great destinations for active holidays.
Steve Short from UK hiking and cycling tour operator Compass Holidays shares his favourite trips in England and Wales, with a focus on the Cotswolds, The South West Coast Path in Cornwall, and Offa's Dyke National Trail in Wales. Hear about these incredible trails, and why Spring and Autumn is the best time to visit these places.
Listen in as Steve talks about walking the Cotswold Villages, The Cotswold Way, which can be broken into a North Section and South Section if you can't do the complete walk at one time. You can also explore the Cotswolds by bike!
Heading to Wales, walk the famous Offa's Dyke National Trail, an epic adventure on the border of England and Wales. Or head down to Cornwall for a section of the South West Coast Path!
