Why Active Travel?
Low impact & healthy are just two reasons
There is something exceptional about cycling and hiking that derives a sense of freedom and exhilaration. Let’s face it, young or old, we are all happy when we are hiking through nature, or on bikes with the wind in our hair, feeling that sense of discovery and serendipity around each and every corner.
EXPERIENCE MORE
Active travel, be it hiking or cycling, offers us all a way to slow down and to see the detail of your immediate environment; appreciating all its characteristics from the locals to the scenic highlights, history, wildlife and natural landscapes. A hiking trip or cycle touring is the ideal way to get the lay of the land and to truly soak in the charm and nuances of the region you are exploring.
FAMILY FRIENDLY
Cycling and hiking is also a healthy outdoor activity that the whole family can enjoy. Bikes allow you to cover greater distances than walking which can be of great benefit if you are travelling with children.
GOOD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT
It's also low impact and carbon free. Any type of travel which is ‘under your own steam’ means you are joining the growing movement of sustainable tourism and both hiking and cycling falls squarely in that court.
STAY FIT WHILE YOU TRAVEL
Once you’ve done your first cycle tour you'll find it hard not to want to take more of your travels in an active way. You’ll be inspired and definitely fitter for the experience!
