The Cotswold Way is a National Trail footpath which runs along the Cotswold Edge Escarpment of the Cotswold Hills in south west England.

The ancient Lycian way starts in the Mediterranean resort of Kas which is known for its rocky coastline and unpolluted waters.
On your Turkey walking holiday you will find the beaches of this region perfect for relaxing before you begin your walk along the Lycian trail.

Jbel Toubkal is the highest mountain peak in the Atlas Mountains. The higher elevations experience heavy snow fall during winter. It can also turn very cold up there during the evenings.

This is only a concern for individuals wanting the ultimate adventure. Anyone who is visiting Morocco to soak up culture can find Morocco trekking all year. These types of tours can be day hikes, overnight treks, and even a few days out in the mountainous regions of the country.
