Walking the Upland Way
	Rain, mud and a soggy bottom, but Matthew Jenkin still found a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow when he visited Scotland.

	More to Austria than Mozart and yodelling
	Austria has been in the limelight as a co-host of Euro 2008. But as Charlotte McDonald found out when she visited Salzburg and Innsbruck, there are plenty of reasons to visit the country after the football has finished.

	Luxury all the way in China – but the Great Wall's a bit steep!
	Whether or not you are planning to fly out to watch the Olympics, I can recommend China as a fascinating place to visit, writes Tony Flood.

Go double Dutch on Lower Rhine trip

MARK EDWARDS gets the best of two countries in a short break to the Lower Rhine which is steeped in history. MY short break in the Lower Rhine offered, in the words of the German and Dutch tourist boards, "two countries in one". In three days we travelled from Arnhem and Nijmegen in the Netherlands to Kempen and Krefeld in Germany's Niederrhein. Here the two countries are united in their landscapes of forests, wind turbines and picturesque towns and villages. The region also shares a desire to remember and retain its history, whether it be recent or ancient, good memories or bad.

	Warwick Castle
	Situated in the town of Warwick and overlooking the River Avon, Warwick Castle is a popular tourist spot that attracts thousands of visitors from all over the world.

	In ancient times Egypt was a regional superpower and had the riches to prove it. GLYNN GARLICK enjoys an exhibition featuring the most famous pharaoh of them all.

	Edinburgh is where the action is
	EDINBURGH is not the first Scottish destination you would think of for an active holiday, with most of the country's extreme sport thrills to be had in the highlands and the northern islands.

	Mediterranean cruising
	OKAY, so maybe the cruise ship did suffer a complete power failure somewhere in the Mediterranean Sea between Genoa and Nice.

	Dublin
	As a result of unprecedented investment, the modern city of Dublin is adding its own delights to its layers of history.

	Dorset
	Nature lovers will revel in all that Dorset offers – from its glorious coastline to historic monuments and fabulous countryside.
