Add to these thousands of miles of coastline and the possibilities for outdoor pursuits seem limitless.
Walking and hiking are very popular ways to enjoy the views, and there are a good variety of national cycle routes if you would like to explore on two wheels. Mountain biking, climbing and even skiing are popular activities here.
With thousands of beaches of every kind, from remote island coves to wide sweeping bays, it will be no surprise that surfing, windsurfing, sailing, fishing and pretty much any water sport you can imagine can be enjoyed in the country - including coasteering and canyoning.
