Overview
Small but mighty, the United Kingdom is far more than haggis, tartan and whisky in Scotland; and far more than pubs, stately homes and cream-teas in England. Rather, it's a land of perhaps surprising extremes from its deepest valleys scored with fast-flowing fish-rich rivers to the whitest of sandy beaches and highest of snowcapped mountain peaks.

Small but mighty, the United Kingdom is far more than haggis, tartan and whisky in Scotland; and far more than pubs, stately homes and cream-teas in England. Rather, it's a land of perhaps surprising extremes from its deepest valleys scored with fast-flowing fish-rich rivers to the whitest of sandy beaches and highest of snowcapped mountain peaks.
Away from the cities that tell the UK’s story through its castles, palaces, museums and contemporary culture, it's a wilderness of wonderful wildlife, walking trails, award-winning cuisine and endless opportunities for adventure.
In true Wild Frontiers form, we're focusing on the remotest parts of both England and Scotland. In the former, we explore the wild Northumbrian coast and hinterland, home to Hadrian's Wall and Lindisfarne; in the latter we look to the remote northern isles of Orkney and Shetland, where ancient and modern histories combine with all manner of natural attractions. Prepare to experience a very different side of the UK - characterful islands with Neolithic remains, rugged geological marvels and sensational wildlife-watching experiences await.

My travel inspiration!
Last week we laid my old Grandmother to rest. In her 101st year, I guess it was the blessing everyone, including Gran, thought it was. But I have to say I found it very sad. Funerals always make you think about your own mortality, and they remind you of other much-loved companions that have left…USEFUL INFORMATION
