Published on : 15 February 20193 min reading time

The United Kingdom includes four countries and as many different trips to plan. No, this state is not only defined in England as we can often make it amalgam but to a multitude of landscapes and cultures apart. On the other side of the Channel, you will appreciate the osmosis that one finds between the British cities, the mild climate although not very sunny, and the green plains of the countries.

England

London will delight many of you with its monuments, cultural and nightlife, and architecture. Many solutions exist to discover the capital! Discover in particular the London Pass to not miss anything of the city. But do not just stick to London. Explore the coasts: Cornwall’s cliffs, medieval castles, authentic villages, which can be reached from Plymouth, Downs’ home to Brighton and Easbourne’s white chalk cliffs, while Yorkshire has stunning villages. along its coasts.

Scotland

Nature in its pure state perfectly reunited with the castles and remains that line the most beautiful sites. Scotland is known for its sublime landscapes and its many legends that leave a strange appearance wherever you go. Go to the Highlands, home to the highest British mountains (1300m above sea level), but especially the lochs, the magnificent lakes, including the legendary Loch Ness. In the South, the Lowlands are land of castles like Stirling Castle or Culzean Castle but it’s mostly here that you stay in Edinburgh, Glasgow, or Aberdeen. Whiskey lovers will be delighted by the Malt Whiskey Trail or tasting of those from Islay Island, among the best in the world. Not to mention the coastline and the islands that lead to Scandinavia, which offer idyllic spots for photographers or hikers.

 

Wales

Wales is a destination out of the hustle and bustle of its British neighbors. But happiness will be bigger! In fact, you will come across breathtaking scenery like Mount Snowdon in the heart of the impressive Snowdonia National Park in the north of the country, and close to the unmissable villages of Llandudno and Conway. To the South, you will find Brecon Beacons National Park. Whether in these national parks, or in the Wild Wales, you will have a wide choice of hikes over meadows, bays, castles, sheep, and small local villages. In the West, towards Ireland, you will not miss to pass on the peninsula of Llyn and the village of St David’s, or to Aberystwyth. And finally, of course, how not to stay in Cardiff, the capital, with its heritage and life-student-animated? In addition, you will be pleasantly surprised by the Welsh who are adorable, with a totally different accent from their English cousins.

 

North Ireland

Not to be confused with Eire (Ireland), Northern Ireland is, like Scotland, Wales and England, under the leadership of the Crown of the Kingdom. Although the smallest country in the United Kingdom, it has a myriad of sites to visit. Start at Giant’s Causeway on the Causeway Coast, where nearly 40,000 vertical and hexagonal columns of cooled lava juxtapose. Just off the coast of Antrim are Portrush and Dunluce Castle, as well as Bushmills, famous for its whiskey. Then go for a walk for several days around Lake Lough Erne in Enniskillen for example. But do not miss Belfast, its castle, and its nightlife. East of Belfast, you will not hesitate to make a detour to the peninsula of Ards. In the south of the country, the Morne Mountains are home to remains, dolmens, and Newcastle, a quiet seaside resort.
