United Kingdom tours in August 2024

Outdoor adventures are ON in August

The weather is at its warmest and driest (but always best to bring your raincoat just in case!), the coast is sparkling and festivals are in full swing. This is August in the UK. Tackle England's highest peak, Scafell Pike, and roam picturesque fells in the lovely Lake District. Find your inner flow with yoga, wind-whipped walks and Cornish cream tea on the southwest coast. Or immerse yourself in the rugged beauty and warm hospitality of the Scottish Highlands.

Highlights of Scotland

Fantastic trip! I loved experiencing the Highlands & Skye. Our trip leader was phenomenal. The accommodations were top notch. Good mix of included activities & free time to explore. Great if you are looking for a fun short trip to experience Scotland

Highlights of Scotland

Breanne · Traveled August 2023
Had such a great time on this trip! Love the route and stops, as all the locations we visited were unique and surprising. The Isle of Skye and was definitely a highlight! We had plenty of rain even in August, but it felt like part of the overall Scotland experience. The food and drinks were also great (and nicely balanced with plenty of walking and exploring) and the guesthouses we stayed in were lovely. Rhys was an awesome guide and made things easy for us! Can’t wait to come back someday soon.

Classic Walks of Scotland

Fei · Traveled August 2023
The trip was absolutely incredible. We embarked on a 6-day nature walk non-stop, encountering a mix of sunny, rainy, and windy days – the classic Highland weather. The entire journey was impeccably organized, making it simple to adapt to your body's needs. Andrew and Ramsay were wonderfully kind and professional, ensuring everyone was taken care of throughout the hike.

Walk Hadrian's Wall Highlights

Rani · Traveled August 2023
Great trip. Challenging at times depending on your fitness level - but not too challenging for our group with a range of ages and fitness levels. The trip was changed a bit from the website but the changes are for the better- more site visits and less boring roadside walking. Accommodations and breakfasts were fabulous. Leader Kerry was great - she looked after us all while giving us all kinds of local and historical information. Plus the scenery! Incredible trip.
