“We’ve created these trips for people who love the outdoors but want to focus more on cultural discovery and want to spend more time digging beneath the surface of a destination,” said Anna Brownlow, head of product and partner relations, Wilderness. “Our new Culture & Heritage journeys are about taking deep dives into the heritage, traditions, and local character of a place, while still enjoying time outside – breathing the fresh air and soaking in the landscapes – of some of the most beautiful corners of Scotland, England, and Ireland.”
