Plan your own tripQuestions about Nature & Wild trips
What is a Nature & Wild trip?
Mountains, coasts and open country. One main outing a day in the outdoors, with parks and viewpoints leading, at a pace you can keep. The feeling word for it is "Breathe". It describes how the trip is meant to feel, not a promise about how you will feel.
What does Archie aim for on a Nature & Wild trip?
one main outing a day, parks and viewpoints, balanced pace. Some of this, like the pace, one big thing a day and open afternoons, changes which places are picked. The rest is guidance for the planner, not a guarantee.

How a trip idea works
Each trip idea is a short itinerary: a few places a day that sit close together, in the order that saves walking, with an estimate of the time between stops. Open one to see it on a map and to see the best months to go, worked out from average weather. Then plan your own dates in the Archie app.
