United Kingdom
Top Tips
SIGHTSEEING
London
The list is endless - begin with traditional Big Ben and Buckingham
Palace, soar over the city in the Eye and people-watch in the newly
pedestrianized Trafalgar Square
England and Wales
There’s plenty of sights outside the capital - primitive
Stonehenge, medieval Leeds Castle, soaring Salisbury Cathedral, and
the beautiful cities of Bath and Oxford are a good start
SCENERY
Yorkshire moors, Devon valleys, the Lake District, Cornwall’s
coast – there’s no shortage of stunning landscapes in
this country
WALKING & HIKING
Rambling is a way of life in the UK and there’s plenty of
pathways to peruse, from cliffwalks by the Atlantic to good
ol’ muddy tramps in the Fens…the more adventurous can
attempt Mount Snowdon or the Pennine Way
CULTURE
London
Must-do museums include the Tate Modern, Victoria and Albert, the
British and the Science (for the kids); the West End has loads of
world-class musicals and plays
England and Wales
Country culture includes Stratford-upon-Avon for Shakespeare of
course, Glyndebourne for opera, Glastonbury for mad-for-it festival
music and genteel classical concerts in the smaller towns
FOOD & DRINK
The pint and the pub is inescapable so drink and enjoy, look out
for ‘gastropubs’ – their runaway success is due
to the UK’s food revolution: tired fish n’ chips are a
thing of the past and modern British cooking is now fresh and
trendy and quite tasty… cheers!
