Discover the UK coastline from a whole new angle.

Sailing aboard Eda Frandsen, a traditional gaff cutter, is something special—a perfect mix of timeless tradition and a sense of adventure. Every moment on deck tells its own story, whether about the craftsmanship of this beautiful boat or the stunning seascapes that surround you.

Built in Denmark in 1938, Eda Frandsen spent decades braving the North Sea as a fishing trawler before her hull was lovingly restored on Scotland’s remote Knoydart peninsula. Now, she’s ideally suited for exploring the wild coastlines of the British Isles.

Feel the sea spray on your skin, the wind in your hair, and the gentle creak of the wooden deck beneath your feet. With a small, friendly crew, life on the Eda Frandsen is all about good company, hearty laughter and memories you’ll treasure for years to come.

“For me, this was an adventure of a lifetime. It was phenomenal from all aspects. Seeing all of the beautiful sights and experiencing the different cultures was awesome. I loved having time on ferries or boats that took us past different coasts and the beautiful scenery to get us to a new destination.”

The Five Countries cycling tour is an epic 13 day ride spanning England, Wales, the Republic of Ireland (where this photo was taken), Northern Ireland and Scotland. Whether you choose a road bike or an E-bike, there is nothing quite like the thrill of seeing so much of these ancient lands from the saddle.

Our office puts us on the edge of two of England’s breathtaking national parks - The Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales. Being so close to both means you can often find a member of the team out exploring new trails, connecting with local communities, and enjoying the beauty around us.

From gentle valley walks to hikes high in the fells, we understand what it takes to create an unforgettable adventure.

Have you wondered what a Wilderness trip is really like?

There are hundreds of reviews on our website, so you can hear all about it from our travellers, like this one from our cross-border Wildlife - Wild Isles trip this summer:

“Have already recommended it to friends. In summary, it felt as if I was away for longer than seven days - always a sign of a good holiday - and still visually there!”

Traversing the exciting east coast of England up into Scotland, our Wild Isles tour visits ancient islands, gets up close to brilliant birdlife, and showcases a hidden stretch of the UK’s coastline.

What makes winter walking so special in England?

It’s the crisp, frosty mornings and serene trails free from summer’s crowds. It’s the quiet charm of cosy pubs with roaring fires after a day of adventure. And it’s the magical light that transforms everyday landscapes into a work of art.

What’s your favourite part of a winter adventure?

Cyclists, we need your thoughts.

Here’s a bold opinion: spring is the ultimate season for cycling in England.

Think about it: crisp mornings, wildflowers in bloom, and miles of scenic countryside waking up to the new season.

Do you agree, or do you have another favourite cycling season?

As we welcome the eleventh month of the year, we cannot help but reflect on how the landscape around us has changed each month and season. A cycle almost as old as the land itself, there really is something new to discover each day, week, or month.

“Easy riding along quiet rolling country lanes. All the meal and snack stops were amazing, and only having to change hotels once was a special bonus. I would highly recommend this trip as a way of seeing the popular Cotswolds area while mostly avoiding the hordes of tourists. The National Arboretum was also a real highlight for me; who doesn’t love a walk amongst the trees?”
