There seems to be a theme with clients walking the West Highland Way in September... 🙌

Did you know that around 36,000 people complete the West Highland Way each year? With demand this high, accommodation along the trail fills up quickly - especially in September.

That’s why we secured a limited number of pre-booked holidays months in advance. It means you can experience the trail at one of the best times of year, while staying in our first-choice accommodation along the way.

Decades of planning self-drive holidays in the Scottish Highlands have taught us one thing - there’s never a “wrong” itinerary, only too many good ones.

From the Isle of Skye to the rugged North Coast 500, each destination offers something quite different.

Our latest guide explores the key areas and routes to help you plan your perfect Highland escape. You'll find it in the comments below. 👇️

Happy National Cheese Day! 🧀

Today, we're looking back at our specialist, Katie's, visit to Wensleydale Creamery in Hawes, home to Yorkshire's famous creamy, crumbly Wensleydale cheese.

Set amongst the beautiful scenery of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, the creamery is a wonderful place to learn about the traditional cheese-making process, sample local cheeses, and enjoy a day out in one of England's most picturesque regions.

What an amazing month of May you’ve all had! 😍 From conquering iconic long-distance trails to celebrating anniversaries on peaceful islands, here’s a look at what some of our clients have been up to across the UK this month…

1️⃣ Sandra & Mitzi, from South Carolina, USA, walked across northern England on the iconic Hadrian's Wall Path.

2️⃣ Doug & Pauline, from the UK, celebrated their golden wedding anniversary on an unforgettable self-drive holiday through Scotland's beautiful Outer Hebrides.

3️⃣ Mary, from Sacramento, USA, completed her 7th walking holiday with Absolute Escapes! She said, "I would recommend Scotland's Southern Upland Way to anyone looking for a challenging, quiet trail. It felt like such an accomplishment to walk from coast-to-coast. I had many excellent meals at places Absolute Escapes recommended, and the people along the way were lovely."

4️⃣ Christopher, from Virginia, USA, combined driving and hiking on a multi-centre holiday in the Scottish Highlands. He said, "This was our third Absolute Escapes holiday, and I have always been impressed with the level of service and responsiveness. The tailored activity suggestions were particularly impressive for our drive-walk holiday in the Highlands and Skye."

5️⃣ Tony & Elizabeth from St Martin, Guernsey, enjoyed their first big road trip since the pandemic. They found their 10-day holiday in Scotland on the North Coast 500 to be a "very relaxing and easy trip". They said, "It was great to be able to drive some great and interesting roads and take in the sights and ambience of this amazing area of Scotland."

Live from the South West Coast Path during the UK heatwave. ☀️

Sine from Absolute Escapes is the third member of our team to head off on a research trip this year. This time, she's exploring the spectacular Westward Ho! to Padstow section of the South West Coast Path through Devon & Cornwall.

Each year, our team travels across the British Isles on research trips like Sine's, helping us keep our knowledge up to date and our recommendations grounded in genuine first-hand experience.

Sine has been enjoying a few incredibly beautiful (and very hot!) days on the trail, with stunning coastal scenery every step of the way. 😍
