Walking in Britain -

In the middle of the holiday season what better time is there than to take a walking holiday in Britain. Walking holidays are all about getting away – finding space to stretch your legs, breathe deeply, take in new surroundings and step away from the stresses and strains of your normal routine. Walking holidays are for finding a place to call your own and take in new perspectives – open spaces and big skies can help you re-focus, relax and recharge.

In a time of rising prices and increased travel costs, walking holidays are de rigueur and walking holidays are a cost-effective way to get value for money. Remember that walking holidays are not just for seasoned walkers. They can be as easy or as difficult as you want to make them. All you need to do is wear comfortable supportive shoes or boots, suitable clothing, put one foot in front of the other and make sure that you take things gradually at your own pace.

Here is just one place to walk – The Gower Peninsula (in Welsh, Penrhyn Gwyr) – in South Wales measures sixteen miles by seven miles. It was the first part of Britain to be designated ‘An Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty’. You could start the day with a brisk walk along the Gower Coastal Path taking in the varied landscape and the spectacular views.
