WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE..

IT'S been five years since the world shut down due to Covid, yet a healthy trend that's remained is an appreciation of green spaces close to home.

Connecting with animals has been scientifically proven to reduce the stress hormone cortisol and induce relaxation so it's no surprise more travellers are seeking to spend time in nature.

The UK has plenty of countryside and coastline to explore. As the weather warms up, these places are guaranteed to put a spring in your step.

Brecon Beacons National Park, Wales

Britain's canals are a haven for all sorts of winged creatures ranging from birds to bats.

Away from the main aquatic arteries, take a detour along the Mon mouthshire and Brecon canal which follows the Usk Valley through the Brecon Beacons National Park.
