Stonehenge is one of the most iconic and special places to see in South West England. This magnificent Neolithic structure is fascinating for what it tells us about our ancient ancestors, but equally mysterious for all the questions it raises and the things we don't know.

Our Explore Stonehenge & Wiltshire walking holiday delves into the mystery of Stonehenge and beyond, exploring the stunning landscapes that surround this prehistoric site.

If you'd like to wander in the footsteps of our Neolithic ancestors, visit FootTrails.co.uk or send us a message on Instagram.

The beautiful symmetry of this ornate bridge was stunning in the spring sunshine yesterday. Once again, we were spoilt by the weather while we were out checking one of our walks in and around the city of Bath yesterday. Get in touch if you'd like to plan a walking adventure in South West England.

This ancient yew tree guarding the entrance to a Norman church in Wiltshire is thought to be at least 450 years old. Inside the church itself, you can see plasterwork designed by the father of famous architect Christopher Wren in the 1600s. It never ceases to amaze us how much history is waiting to be discovered in the English countryside.

We picked the perfect day for our team walk in Wil

We picked the perfect day for our team walk in Wiltshire earlier this week. A beautiful spring morning, bright sunshine, not a cloud in the sky. Walking out along quiet country lanes and through woodland, soaking up the warm spring sunshine and listening to busy birdsong. We climbed to a local lookout point to enjoy spectacular views across the Wiltshire countryside. It was a wonderful day to be out in the landscape of South West England.

This is one of my favourite views from our Landsca

This is one of my favourite views from our Landscapes & Seascapes of Dorset trip. Taken towards the end of summer a couple of years ago, the countryside just rolls away ahead of you. The faded green of the fields contrasts with the dark green of the trees. It perfectly sums up what this trip is about: the sense of walking the folds and creases of the land as you move ever closer to the coast. And what I love most about this summer shot? Although you can’t see it, you can sense the presence of the sea just out of sight over the horizon.

There’s something wonderfully sumptuous about English cottages and cottage gardens in summer. Flowers, plants, and creepers burst with life and colour. Roses and other summer flowers bloom spreading their wonderful scent through the air, the sound of birdsong and buzzing insects is everywhere, bright colours leap out at you everywhere you look. It’s a feast for all the senses.

Water is a recurring theme in our NEW Wild Coast &

Water is a recurring theme in our NEW Wild Coast & Wild Moor trip. It was certainly the backdrop to our walks last weekend as we made our way from moor to sea, finalising the last parts of this six-night trip. Through wooded river valleys to the Exmoor coast, the rush of tumbling water over moss-covered stones and the wash of the sea on pebble shores. We love this truly wild corner of South West England.

Another favourite scene of ours from summer. This walk takes you along lanes and tracks, under dappled sunlight, past country cottages and on to a cosy country inns. Summer was made for countryside walking in the South West of England 😊
