🚲 Forget the Car. The Cotswolds Were Made for Bikes.
Meet Tom – the face behind TY Cycles who’ve been helping Macs Adventure travelers uncover the real Cotswolds for over a decade.

From honey-hued villages without a tourist in sight, to quiet country lanes where the only traffic is a bleating lamb - cycling here isn’t just transport, it’s an experience. And with TY Cycles delivering the perfect ride to your door (and making sure it’s spot on for you), the journey’s just as good as the destination.

💡 The best part? You’ll see places cars simply can’t reach.

She made a promise. Then walked 630 miles to keep it.

Ruth’s walk along the South West Coast Path wasn’t just a 60th birthday celebration - it was a promise kept in memory of her late husband, Peter.
Through rain, blisters, laughter, and wild ponies, she discovered something bigger than horizon-touching views: healing, strength, and peace.

This is one of those stories that stays with you.

🌊 Scotland’s East Coast – As Seen in The New York Times 🥾

We were thrilled to see the Fife Coastal Path featured in The New York Times, and even more excited that columnist Elaine Glusac chose to hike it with Macs! She swapped the hassle of planning for one of our inn-to-inn self-guided adventures. We sorted the cozy stays, luggage transfers, and route maps, while she enjoyed…

🐟 Fresh seafood in Anstruther
🐬 Dolphin spotting off Elie
🎨 Pittenweem’s charming art galleries
🏖️ Tide-swept beaches all to herself

And the best part? Every night’s rest in locally owned inns, supporting the communities she explored.

“The inn’s restaurant highlights locally grown, raised and caught food… another Macs win for ensuring that, after a long hike, I could explore the region’s locavore culinary scene without leaving the hotel.” – NYT

Curious what hiking in Japan really looks like? 🇯🇵

🌲 Imagine ancient stone paths winding through misty forests, and quiet villages tucked deep in the mountains.
🏯 Picture yourself walking the Kumano Kodo, following in the footsteps of emperors to sacred shrines.
🥾 Or tracing the historic Nakasendo Trail, connecting Kyoto and Tokyo through beautifully preserved post towns.

This is Japan beyond the bright city lights... a slower, more soulful side of the country waiting to be discovered on foot!

📅 Ready to explore in 2026? These self-guided trips are now open for booking!

🌅 Where sea and sky blur on the horizon…

Tucked above Carbis Bay, Boskerris Hotel offers a rare kind of calm - the kind that stays with you. Think: warm welcomes, quiet luxury, Mediterranean vibes (yes, in Cornwall!), and the gentle rhythm of the ocean shaping every moment.

Our copywriter Kirsty spent the night here during her Highlights of Cornwall in Comfort adventure - and calls it “The Boskerris Effect.”

✨ Trust us, you’ll want to experience this for yourself.

There's something so romantic about Provence 💜

Walking hand-in-hand through lavender fields, sipping wine in sun-dappled courtyards, and hiking between hilltop villages glowing in the golden hour.

Stay in charming inns, wake to the scent of wild herbs and pine trees, and share slow, unforgettable days walking through one of France’s most beautiful regions.

Whether it’s your honeymoon, anniversary, or just time to reconnect — Provence is calling, and there's still time to go this year!

Turquoise water, sea air, and sun-warmed trails 🌞🥾

Walking from village to village, stopping for fresh seafood and a glass of vinho at beach bars tucked into the cliffs… this trail is pure slow-travel bliss. The cobbled streets of Salema, the whitewashed houses, the views at Cabo São Vicente — it’s the kind of place you don’t forget. 🌊

If you’re after sunshine, simplicity, and a quieter side of Portugal… this one’s for you: https://zurl.co/AlgarveCoastalTrails
