You have probably heard that the Dolomites, in north-east Italy, were declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Backabush Xplorers was created by a multinational group of friends who wanted to get more out of their weekends and explore the National Parks and areas of outstanding natural beauty in England and Wales.
