United Kingdom's Top 20 Adventures

With all the pomp, glitz, and gossip in England and Scotland, you may find it difficult to escape to the outdoors. But don't miss out. From the rolling hills of the Cotswolds to the rolling waves of the Outer Hebrides, the U.K. comes ready-made for outdoor adventure.

Sure, the unpredictable weather makes for more unpredictable adventures, but that's half the charm. Just grab your Gore-Tex and a cup of tea and get out there. The locals you'll meet along the way will understand your mania; after all, it's a part of their culture. So prepare yourself for excitement—and also for the very real possibility of falling helplessly, completely, in love with this gorgeous green land.
