Short, sharp, at hand; our new programme of UK short breaks proves that you don’t always have to go abroad to have an adventure.

OK, so the local dialects may sometimes be incomprehensible, the weather unpredictable and the free houses inexplicably not free. In every other respect, though – let’s face it – Great Britain comes ready-made for outdoor adventure.

Whether it’s the rolling waves of the Outer Hebrides or the rolling hills of the Cotswolds, a UK Adventure is a great way to taste Explore at its best: a small likeminded group, an expert tour leader, the knowledge that you’re travelling responsibly.

Looking for a solo break? Training up to a major trek worldwide? Organising a group reunion? Whatever your motive, your UK Adventure will be packed with bags of Explore character.
