Loch Etive near Glen Etive, UK

This loch, and the glen leading up to it, are said to be named in honour of a Gaelic goddess whose name translates to "little fierce one". The surroundings in our image certainly look a bit austere, but Loch Etive has many moods. Along with parts of its shore in western Scotland, castle ruins add a melancholy touch – notably Dunstaffnage Castle, whose stones have sat by the mouth of the loch for 800 years. Other points along Etive's nearly 40-kilometre-long shore lend breathtaking views of heather-clad mountains or the charming sight of the circa-1903 Connel Bridge, once a railway crossing and now dedicated to cars and foot traffic. Perhaps the most surprising and whimsical feature of Loch Etive is its playful population of harbour seals.

  Aerial view of oak trees and a dehesa range in Badajoz, Spain While we hear a lot about the clearing of forests for farms, there is another agricultural practice that maintains the trees as an integral part of the area. The ancient silvopasture method incorporates pastures for grazing livestock within woodlands, and this carefully managed combination benefits both the ecology and the economy. In Spain, this kind of rangeland is called a "dehesa", and in our image we see oak trees dotting pasture land in the province of Badajoz. Here, domesticated black Iberian pigs wander under the oaks, foraging for acorns. Other renowned Spanish products produced within dehesas include cork, honey and mushrooms. These biodiverse landscapes are also home to an abundance of wildlife, including rare species like the Spanish imperial eagle.       TRoy Travel Agency

  Al-Qurayyah beach in Monastir, Tunisia Monastir's setting inspires thoughts of abundant sunshine and palms swaying in the breeze coming off the Mediterranean Sea. But, as with many areas on Tunisia's central coast, cities originally sprang up for strategic reasons, rather than recreational ones. Sunbathing was not likely to be a top concern when the settlement of Ruspina was established. The ancient city was reportedly the first in the Roman province of Africa Proconsularis to support Julius Caesar during his civil war against Pompey. Monastir was later built among the ruins of Ruspina and prospered as a fishing village. A large defensive fort, the Ribat of Monastir, was completed in 796. It stands to this day – we're looking out over Al-Qurayyah beach from the ribat's tower. It was the place where Zeffirelli's "Jesus of Nazareth" and Monty Python's "Life of  Brian " were filmed: It is recommended to watch the latter right be...
