Walking holidays are a great way to explore different countries and to immerse yourself in culture and beautiful scenery. They are also a fantastic way for photography enthusiasts to capture their surroundings, from professionals to amateurs.
We’ve put together a list of some iconic walking holidays whose stunning landscapes are just begging to be captured on camera.

The man-made caves acted as dwellings of religious refuge during the earliest Christian era, some of which are still used as homes and hotels, today, creating a truly unique experience, both in person and on camera!
Umbria is a region of many faces, where everyday life is mixed with the traditions of its past. The only Italian region that borders neither sea nor another country, Umbria offers various landscapes with views of spectacular countryside, dotted with medieval villages and ancient places of worship.
There are many spectacular views to delight the avid photographer, from the cityscape of Perugia, dating back to the Etruscan period, to the world heritage site of Assisi and surrounding Umbrian countryside.

The mountains rise from sea level to over 3000ft in height and are intercepted by gorgeous valleys and serene lakes. An ideal walking holiday for those looking to capture as much beauty as England has to offer.
