Beyond London, the United Kingdom is full of fascinating cities. Edinburgh will captivate you with its medieval atmosphere and its castle. York will transport you to the times of the Vikings and Romans. Bath boasts elegant Georgian architecture and Roman baths. And Manchester and Liverpool vibrate with their industrial heritage and their cultural and music scenes.

Snowdonia in Wales offers alpine landscapes and opportunities for adventure. The Scottish Highlands are wild and untamed beauty. And the Cornish coast (Cornwall) enchants with its surf beaches and fishing villages.

Visit Windsor Castle, the oldest inhabited royal residence in the world. Walk Edinburgh's 'Royal Mile' to its castle. And discover the incredible concentration of medieval fortresses in Wales.
The essence of the British countryside is found in its towns. The Cotswolds are famous for their honey-coloured stone villages and rolling hills. In Yorkshire, towns like Haworth immerse you in the world of the Brontë sisters. And the fishing villages of Cornwall and Scotland offer postcards of colorful boats and seaside houses.
The United Kingdom was the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution. Explore the ancient docks and museums of Liverpool and Bristol to understand their importance in maritime trade. Visit the converted mills of Manchester or the Ironbridge Gorge, considered the birthplace of industry.
Travel thousands of years back in time. Marvel at the stone circle of Stonehenge and the Neolithic monuments of Scotland's Orkney Islands. Walk along Hadrian's Wall, the northern border of the Roman Empire that runs through northern England.
The train network (National Rail) is the most efficient way to travel between cities. Within cities like London, the tube ('The Tube') and double-decker buses are iconic and effective. Consider purchasing a transport card like the Oyster Card in London for cheaper fares.
