Another Side of the British Isles

When we think about The British Isles we often focus in on London or Belfast, Liverpool or Edinburgh, but there’s also a wild side to be explored.

The Scottish Highlands alone are a vast rugged area covering roughly the northern third of Scotland, of about 10,000 square miles, encompassing diverse mountainous landscapes and numerous lochs.

Another seriously wild part of England is Wales with roughly 8,000 square miles of sparsely populated countryside that’s mostly mountainous with an equally rugged coastline. .

Ireland’s coastline is approximately 4,600 miles long, encompassing the entire island and its numerous offshore islands, with the famous Wild Atlantic Way alone covering about 1,600 miles with those dramatic Atlantic cliffs. .

So if you’re looking for some amazing landscapes and remarkable hiking spend some time visiting the wild side of the British Isles.
