Best Places to Stay
Belfast
The former industrial powerhouse city has made a remarkable transformation into a modern city with trendy shops, bars and restaurants. Belfast has fast become one of the UK’s best places for a short break.
These days the famous Titanic ship has become so connected to Belfast’s identity that there is a whole quarter dedicated to the ill-fated liner. At its centre is the stunning, star-shaped edifice of Titanic Belfast, a state-of-the-art multimedia museum that has become the city's number-one tourist draw.
Cotswolds
Famous for its quintessential English villages built from honey-coloured sandstone, the Cotswolds is the largest Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in England and Wales. The rolling hills and lush green countryside, with nothing but fresh air and the sound of farm animals, make the Cotswolds a desirable place for hikers.
The family residence of the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall, Highgrove House is located in the Cotswolds. On one of our UK tours, you can enjoy a day at Highgrove House with Lunch and a small group tour of the private gardens, led by one of the Prince’s garden guides.
Jersey
The largest of the Channel Islands, Jersey only stands at 9 miles by 5 miles but feels infinitely bigger. The capital of St Helier is the heart of the island with lots to see and do, but don’t dismiss the rest of the island which has plenty of appeal. From the superb beaches in the south and west to the world-class zoo, several museums and excellent food it’s easy to see why people flock to this sun-drenched island.
Whilst in Jersey don’t miss the eerie World War Two tunnels of a German underground hospital. The tunnels have now been converted into a museum that tells the harrowing story of how they were made and what life was like under Nazi rule for 5 years.
Scottish Highlands
When you think big skies, mind-blowing landscapes and wandering wildlife - you’ve got the Scottish Highlands. This magnificent landscape calls to be explored and is the ultimate escape as one of the last corners of Europe where you can seek genuine solitude.
Scotland’s turbulent history only lends itself to the romance of the Highlands, with some of the most beautiful castles in the world. Tour holidays of the Scottish Highlands will captivate you at every corner.
Things to do
Rail journeys through the countryside
The invention of the railways was the UK’s crown and glory and vital to kick-starting the industrial revolution, which changed our country forever. In 1830 Robert Stephenson opened the very first passenger train from Canterbury to Whitstable in Kent and visitors have been riding them ever since.
The most dramatic railway line is a 42 mile stretch from Fort William to Mallaig in Scotland, known as the West Highland Line. This is a truly amazing train journey as you board a steam train at Fort William, you are also greeted by Ben Nevis which towers over the town. The journey then continues to Loch Eil before reaching the spectacular Glenfinnan Viaduct - famously featured in the Harry Potter movies.
River cruises along famous waterways
As an island nation, our waterways have been vital to the way we live, and the passion for cruising them has only grown throughout the ages. We are also lucky to have some of the most scenic routes all over the UK too.
The UK has many great rivers and waterways to cruise on, but none are as iconic as the Thames. Get up close to the city’s sensational riverside sights as you cruise past landmarks such as the Houses of Parliament, London Eye, and the Tower of London.
There are also many types of cruises along the Thames from thrill-seeking high-speed experiences to a more relaxed hop-on, hop-off services which allow you to stop at each of the sights for guided tours.
