Cairngorms National Park
For a fresh air getaway, look no further than the Cairngorms - the UK's largest national park.
Covering an area of 1,748 square miles, there is an enormous amount of wilderness to explore, with truly stunning landscapes ranging from iconic mountains to forest trails, lochs, rivers, and beaches. It is the perfect place to spend time outdoors, to put on your hiking boots, and to embrace adventure.
I have lost count of the times I have visited this wild and beautiful part of Scotland, and every time I return, I discover something new.
There are charming villages and towns to visit, cosy cafes to discover, historic castles, boutique hotels, and luxury lodges. Spend your day on the trail and evenings by a roaring fire with a hot chocolate in hand.
