Island Escapes
Get a taste for island life at a different pace and with different perspectives, from the Channel Islands to the Orkneys. Islands have been places of refuge, fought over and sought after, and with their own stories.
Never far away from dramatic coastlines, enjoy the unique atmosphere and slower heartbeat of island life.
Below there is a great selection of our Island Escapes walking holidays - which one will you escape to?

Guernsey
The islands of The ’Bailiwick of Guernsey’ lie in the Bay of St Malo and despite loyalty to the British crown since 1066, at only eight miles from the French coast at their nearest point, they inevitably have a ’taste of France’.
This holiday can be combined with a week in Jersey on most departures.

Jersey
Jersey is compact; just twelve miles by nine it’s the largest of the Channel Islands and great for a week’s island walking. Beautiful scenery and fascinating small towns and villages, gardens and historic monuments.

The Isles of Scilly
The Scillies have been designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and half the landscape as Sites of Special Scientific Interest. It’s quite a place. Staying on St Mary’s, the largest inhabited island, we spend our days enjoying the coastal scenery, big skies, archaeological sites, great beaches, heathland, rare flora and wildlife.
