Stone Age cromlechs, sacred chapels, coastal paths starred with wildflowers, acres of blue, shining sea and dinner with the national poet Gillian Clarke - our Welsh Walk in Pembrokeshire is a complete showstopper.

Wales is part of the UK but has its own very distinct culture and scenery. Many people are bilingual and speak Welsh as well as English. Road signs have instructions in both languages.

For this Walk we visit the county of Pembrokeshire in the far south west of Wales, a land steeped in Celtic myth and history. This beautiful coastline was one of the earliest places that Christianity was established in Britain. Before then it was famed for its pagan druids. Around 5,000 years ago, the mighty bluestones of Stonehenge were quarried in Pembrokeshire and transported hundreds of miles to their resting place in Wiltshire - to this day archaeologists debate how the stones were actually moved.

We visit the hills where the bluestones were quarried and hike the rolling moors roamed by Welsh ponies, a unique breed and Britain's prettiest wild pony.

Special addition to Tuscany & Umbria

We have a very special guest joining us on the Tuscany & Umbria Walk this June.

Stephen Banks, a professional photographer and digital expert who works with our UK-based PR company, will be walking with us to take photos for our brochure, website and social media channels.

Stephen has won several photography awards and had his work featured in leading UK newspapers, magazines, books and calendars. He specializes particularly in timelapse video and long exposure nighttime shots showing the stars in the landscape. You can watch the video he made of Bridport in Dorset, near the Wayfarers HQ, here:

Stephen will be available throughout the Walk to coach guests in all aspects of digital photography and social media techniques. We still have a few places left on the Walk, so contact us straight away if you are interested.

Walk in the birthplace of the Renaissance

The Italian Renaissance was born from the rich landscape of Tuscany - its green and golden hills, groves of cypress and olive trees, brilliant light and exquisite cities. Come and stroll through the spring landscape that Botticelli painted so vividly in the Primavera, also know as Allegory of Spring.

From this rich earth comes the acclaimed cuisine of Tuscany, one of the world's healthiest. On our Walk you will feast on olive oil, Tuscan beans, vegetables, fish, pasta, crostini, risotto, handmade cheeses, succulent beef and wild boar. Hearty, honest and subtle, the food, like the country, is a revelation.
