Separated from mainland Europe by the North Sea, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is one of the world's most popular travel destinations. Comprising the contrasting nations of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, the UK is home to a mesmerizing melting pot of regional cultures, people, dialects and languages.

It offers a remarkably diverse landscape of sea coast, lakes, lochs, moors and mountains; as well as an eye-popping array of historical buildings and monuments with magnificent castles, cathedrals and palaces. The Royal Family is perhaps one of the UK's greatest attractions, with an almost unrivalled heritage dating back to medieval times.

Visitors are drawn to some of the planet's most famous cities - from Belfast to Bath, London to Liverpool, Manchester to Glasgow, and York to Edinburgh - by a wealth of attractions and activities. 

Out in the countryside, into the heartland of rural Britain, 14 National Parks protect and manage vast areas of unique landscapes including the Brecon Beacons, Broads, Lake District, North York Moors, Yorkshire Dales, Northumberland, Dartmoor, Exmoor, New Forest, Peak District, Pembrokeshire Coast, Snowdonia, Loch Lomond and Cairngorms.

Please use these links to click through to individual Travel Guides to England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales, each of which contains our usual in-depth coverage of regions, places, attractions plus a hand-picked selection of holidays, activities and character accommodation. All researched and written by real Travel Experts.
