Walking

Some places can only really be appreciated on foot. The timeless villages of Europe – think Italy’s Cinque Terre and Amalfi Coast or France’s Provencal and Burgundy jewels – are at their most seductive when approached via swooping coastal trails or ancient paths winding across valleys. There is no better way to reconnect with nature: moving slowly among Greek gorges, Moroccan valleys and Czech hillsides gives greater opportunity to take in the surrounding pastoral landscapes, sculpted by centuries of man and nature’s labours. And there’s no more sociable means of travel: the gentle beat of the placed and lifted foot allowing time to meet the locals, to both observe and adopt the rhythm of their daily lives.
