The United Kingdom is a constitutional monarchy and consists of four countries:

Thousands of years of history are seen in many of its regions.

It was the world's first industrialised economy and the world's super power during the 19th and early 20th centuries. The British Empire at its height, in 1922, encompassed almost a quarter of the world's land surface, and was the largest empire in history.

It’s language, legal systems, cultural and sports influence has largely shaped todays world.

Where would the world be without football (soccer), rugby and cricket!

London is Europe's biggest city and is the capital of the England. London offers top class arts and culture with superb museums, galleries and theatres.

However, the United Kingdom is more than London. The island is full of historic buildings, traditional villages, lovely parks and gardens, mountains and lakes and stunning coastline for many UK travel breaks.

Hikers have thousands of miles of walking trails from the spectacular mountains of northern Scotland to the winding coastal paths of southern England. Some of the finest national parks in the world are squeezed into this great land.

UK travel breaks are generally not for sunbathing because it does have four seasons and sometimes you can enjoy them on the same day.

England …

offers the Neolithic monuments of Stonehenge and Avebury and modern cutting edge cities. You could wander the old university cities of Oxford and Cambridge. Climb the world famous Salisbury cathedral elegant spire and view the ‘Magna Carta’. See where William Shakespeare was born in Stratford upon Avon or visit historic York, Durham and Lindisfarne. Tour the Roman baths in the delightful city of Bath or call in at Iron Bridge where the industrial revolution began. Drive through the Lake District, the dales of Yorkshire and the bleak moors and be awestruck.

Wales … has it’s own language,a strong national identity and is a land of mountains and castles. The Pembrokeshire Coast, Brecon Beacons and Snowdonia National Park are areas not to be missed. The island of Anglesey is home to the village of - Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch - which means; "St. Mary's Church in the hollow of white hazel near a rapid whirlpool and the Church of St. Tysilio near the red cave."

Scotland … is known for its spectacular scenery with Rugged peaks sweeping down to breathtaking lochs. The major cities are Glasgow, Aberdeen, Inverness, Perth and the Scottish capital Edinburgh. Edinburgh is one of the outstanding cities of the world, where the medieval ‘Old Town’ contrasts with the elegant Georgian New Town. Prehistoric forts, stone circles, houses and burial mounds can be explored in Orkney. Get your feet tapping to bagpipes, fiddles and accordions at a traditional Ceilidh while having a dram of fine malt whisky.

Northern Ireland … is a small province with gently rolling fields, a dramatic coastline and the lush Mountains of Mourne. Thankfully the ‘troubles’ are well behind it. The capital, Belfast, is a city with ornate Victorian architecture while Londonderry is a fine walled town. You could walk along the amazing volcanic columns of the Giant’s Causeway. Sail on Lough Neagh, the largest lake in the British Isles, or discover the Fermanagh lakelands, sprinkled with tiny islands, wooded parks and monastic ruins.

Above all else it’s the British people that gives the UK its Uniqueness.

Oscar Wilde a famous British wit sums up the quirky British attitude in some of his quotes…

“A cynic is a man who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing.”

“ I can resist everything except temptation.”

“Always forgive your enemies - nothing annoys them so much.”

“Experience is the name everyone gives to their mistakes.”

“Some cause happiness wherever they go; others, whenever they go.”

You can experience this sense of humour on your UK travel breaks short weekends or long vacation.

And however long you stay you’ll have a great time!
