Slow Travel

Slow travel is a concept that has come of age. More of a mindset than adhering to any particular mode or type of transportation the slow traveller believes that ‘less is more. The idea is to spend time in an area(s) and experience the local culture rather than haring around and ticking the boxes. Our selection of slow travel holiday ideas are designed to do just that; ensuring that you return home feeling more relaxed and refreshed than when you set out.
