Sample fresh seafood in Devon, stargaze in the Highlands of Scotland, or go coasteering round Wales’ rocky shoreline - wherever your travels take you, explore Great Britain and Northern Ireland for culture that is as compelling as it is unique. Are you brave enough to hunt for Nessie in Loch Ness, or bring history to life at medieval castles? Take to the water with white water rafting in Cardiff, or tuck into the flavours of our bustling cultural hubs? Witness world-class football in Liverpool and Manchester, iconic skylines in London and step into a world of art and creativity across Britain’s immersive exhibitions and galleries. From vibrant cities, to quaint villages and epic National Parks, there are so many things to do in Britain and Northern Ireland - the only question you need to ask is, where do I start?
England
Capital City – London
Few locations inspire quite like England. From legendary landmarks and bustling cities, to rolling emerald hills and dramatic coasts – this is an unmissable nation of contrasts. But beyond its beautiful landscapes and rich heritage, there’s bucketloads of dynamism, creativity and culture to discover.
For a blockbuster break, look no further than England’s screen stars. Fall in love with Bridget Jones’ London, be charmed by Bridgerton’s Bath, or step back in time in Peaky Blinders’ Birmingham. Whether it’s family-friendly fun at The Paddington Bear Experience, or broomsticks and butterbeer at the Warner Bros. Studio Tour London – this really is where the movie magic happens.
What are you waiting for? It’s time to discover all that England has to offer.
Scotland
Capital City – Edinburgh
Scotland’s stunning landscapes, lochs, islands and mountains combine to form a country that’s as unique as it is beautiful. Where else could you explore 709 islands, while drinking over 130 different types of whisky? Tee off on scenic courses in the birthplace of golf and watch men in kilts play tug o’war? Or listen to the sound of bagpipes, alongside tales of a monster in a loch, a real-life Macbeth and a national Braveheart?
They’re not the only characters you’ll meet here. See Scotland’s film-star good looks on a set-jetting jaunt through sweeping glens and mighty castles, immortalised in Harry Potter, James Bond and Outlander.
So head north to discover incredible places to visit — you’ll receive the warmest of welcomes.
Wales
Capital City – Cardiff
When we say that Wales has more castles per square mile than anywhere else in Europe, you already start to picture the beauty of the Welsh landscape. Add its rugged coastline, stunning beaches, lush valleys and mountainous national parks, and the image of this intensely beautiful Celtic country is almost complete.
But scratch further beneath the surface, and you’ll uncover a nation bursting with adventure. Zoom through the air on an exhilarating ride on the world’s fastest zip wire in Snowdonia (Eryri). Or, discover the nation’s depths on a subterranean caving tour, and hit the waves on some of Britain’s most spectacular coastline.
Did you know that Wales plays a leading role in some of your favourite TV shows? Maybe you’ll recognise it from Doctor Who, House of the Dragon or Sex Education. Now go behind the scenes to see the real stars of the show.
No matter where your Welsh adventure goes, you’ll see that Wales may be small, but it’s certainly mighty.
Northern Ireland
Capital City – Belfast
Northern Ireland has everything from World Heritage Sites to real-world Game of Thrones locations, plus scenery that will leave you in awe. From the mountains of Mourne to the Fermanagh Lakelands, the Causeway Coast to the Glens of Antrim, you’ll find an inspiring country made for nature lovers, adventure seekers, and adrenaline addicts.
With a wild Atlantic Ocean on one side and the Irish Sea on the other, take your pick of spectacularly unique beaches set against backdrops featuring mountains, cliffs, caves and even temples. Stand on the very spot where the Titanic launched, or marvel at the remains of a causeway, believed to be built by a giant so he could cross the North Channel.
Follow in the footsteps of local heroes Rory Mcllroy and Darren Clarke and tee off at over 90 courses, including the legendary Royal County Down. See the experts in action this July at Royal Portrush, host of The 153rd Open. Or stay in the three-bedroom terrace house where football legend George Best grew up.
There’s no better time than the present to embrace your giant spirit and discover what adventure awaits you in Northern Ireland.
