Cyprus: The Burgeoning Home of Mountain Biking

Although relaxing holidays are always a lovely treat, active individuals will be attracted to adventurous vacations.
That doesn't necessarily mean that you can't kick-back and enjoy the luxury of good food and a poolside villa, but active holidays present an opportunity to feel fitter than when you boarded your flight. There's nothing quite like working up a sweat before enjoying a cool drink on a sunny veranda - by the end of your vacay, you'll be positively glowing (and feel more comfortable in your swimwear)!

Isles of Scilly

An archipelago off the south-western tip of Cornwall, the Isles of Scilly are actually part of the Duchy of Cornwall.

Almost 30 miles off the coast at Land's End, these islands were first inhabited during the Stone Age. Fishing and farming have been the primary source of income until recent times when tourism has become the foremost industry.

Channel Islands

Although they are just a few miles off the French coast and are not part of the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands are really rather British. The main islands of Jersey, Guernsey, Alderney, Sark and Herm are accompanied by the smaller Jethou, Brecqhou and Lihou - plus a number of uninhabited islets - to create an archipelago within sight of the coast of Normandy. They`ve long been a holiday favourite for both the people of the UK and the rest of Europe because they offer a wonderful combination of warm climate, spectacular scenery, tip-top facilities and historical interest, too.

Vancouver Island

"... the largest isle in North America's Pacific, stretches for more than 450 superb kilometers off the west coast of British Columbia. A magnificent chain of rugged snow-capped mountains, sprinkled with lakes and rivers and pierced by deep inlets, effectively divides the island into two distinct sides: dense, rain-drenched forest and remote surf- and wind-battered shores on the west, and well-populated, sheltered, beach-fringed lowlands on the east. At the northern and southern tips lie large regions of low, rolling hills."
