Discover or rediscover the natural beauty, history and fascinating heritage that sits right on your doorstep. From ocean-washed sands to rugged moorlands and gentle wooded hills, our UK holidays offer you the chance to admire and explore the landscapes that often pass us by.
There is much to charm and captivate you in this country you may already call home. Watch bottlenose dolphins swim, enjoy sights of abundant bird-life and discover the raw beauty of the UK. Relax on wonderful white-sand beaches, be mesmerised by enchanting lakes or eat fish and chips by the beach, a UK tour is just as idyllic as any place abroad.
Inland, UK tours encourage you to delve into the hustle and bustle of the UK’s historic and iconic cities. Enjoy historic Belfast or the delights of Scottish capital Edinburgh – don’t miss the unforgettable drama of the Edinburgh Military Tattoo.
Discover Northern Ireland’s richly diverse terrain, from enchanting lakes to ancient marshes. Admire the wave-scarred cliffs that contrast sharply with fertile lands in the east, or hold your breath as you discover the raw beauty of the west.
The British Isles truly make some of the country’s most scenic corners for a holiday in the UK. Take a calming seaside break to the sun-kissed Channel Isle, its scenic countryside and glorious coast, or perhaps take in the idyllic Isles of Scilly, a world away from the mainland. Unwind in the timeless Isle of Man or take in the Hebridean islands.
Feast your eyes on the sparkling lochs, soaring mountains, and heather-clad moors as you discover Scotland’s spectacular scenery; from the beautiful, mysterious Loch Ness to the rugged Shetland Islands, UK tours are a wonderful way to explore this stunning country.
Bursting with a majestic history, vibrant cities, and beautiful countryside and beaches, a holiday in the UK will surprise and give you memories you’ll cherish for ever.
The United Kingdom is home to some of the world’s most striking historic landmarks, from prehistoric structures and scars of divisions now past, to centuries old sites of church, state and leisure. These landmarks have withstood weather, war, invasion and modern development, and now offer visitors from around the world a glimpse into the UK’s culture on a holiday to the UK. With so much on offer, though, how do you decide what to see? To give you a nudge in the right direction, we’ve put our heads together to come up with some of the UK’s most impressive historic and stunning sites to explore on a UK tour.
Take a visit to the capital London, and see the iconic Big Ben, the Tower of London or the London Eye as it sits on the banks of River Thames. See the Buckingham Palace and the Houses of Parliament. Head West End in the evening for a show in the theatres.
At almost 5,000 years old Stonehenge, one of the world’s largest stone circles. The site is perhaps the most famous Neolithic monument in the world, attracting almost one and a half million visitors a year.
Unveil the beauty and variety of the Scottish Highlands. Discover the stunning Road to the Isles, the legendary Loch Ness, and the mysterious Black Isle. Enjoy the sense of adventure and rail journey through the jaw-dropping scenery of the Highlands.
While you may be familiar with curry, fish and chips, pie, a Sunday roast and full breakfast, there are plenty of other UK foods to try while you’re away from home.
While in Scotland, be sure to try haggis, or a simple bowl of Coddle while in Dublin. Taste the true flavour of Scotland and enjoy a glass of Scotch whisky. In Wales, opt for Welsh version of cheese on toast – the Welsh rarebit. Make sure you get a taste of ‘the black stuff’ should you visit Dublin.
Many of these foods, you may already love, so perhaps choose to visit a Christmas market in the UK, where you’re bound to come across a slew of your festive favourites, from rich and fruity mince pies and spicy gingerbread, to turkey and stuffing, crepes and toffee apples – this is not a pastime for those strictly sticking to their Slim-Fast plan.
Thanks to the mass cultural influence in British cuisine, you can truly discover new foods while UK holiday or you can simply savour your all-time favourites during your break. There is plenty more to British culinary delights than tea and biscuits.

The United Kingdom is made up of England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland (for more on Northern Ireland, please see Ireland).
Different parts of the UK have different weather. Temperatures tend to be hotter in the south, in England, and colder in the north of England and Scotland. Wales and Ireland tend to get more rain. In the summer, temperatures can get as high as 32°C, although the average is around 20°C. In winter, the average temperature drops to around 5°C, with Scotland often colder. Snow is common in Scotland during winter, and also in the north of England. Generally speaking, the seasons in the UK are fairly mild compared to many other countries, adding to its popularity as a year-round destination.
London is the largest city in the UK and the seat of the UK Government, and the capital of the UK. It is also the capital city of England. The capital city of Wales is Cardiff, whilst Edinburgh is the capital of Scotland, and Belfast is the capital of Northern Ireland.
With a host of historic cities and plenty of natural attractions, the UK has many highlights. London’s top sites include Buckingham Palace, the Tower of London and Tower Bridge. Elsewhere in England, the prehistoric rock formation at Stonehenge is a popular tourist attraction, whilst Bath, Bristol, Liverpool and Oxford are popular tourist destinations. Wales is known for its natural beauty, most notably Mount Snowdon, which is the UK’s second-highest peak, and its eponymous national park. Scotland is also famous for the great outdoors, including the Highlands, which include Ben Nevis, the UK’s highest peak, and Loch Ness, the supposed home of the Loch Ness Monster. The historic cities of Edinburgh and Glasgow are also very popular, with the former boasting a historic castle and an annual comedy festival, the Edinburgh Fringe. For Northern Ireland’s top things to see, please see the Ireland page.
The United Kingdom uses the pound (officially the pound sterling). The pound’s symbol is £, and it is informally known as a ‘quid’.
Traditional dishes in the UK include fish and chips, the full English breakfast, roast dinner, shepherd's pie and haggis in Scotland. That being said, however, in all major cities and most towns, international restaurants, especially Indian, Chinese, Thai and Turkish, are plentiful.
