The British Isles is visited by millions of people each year, many returning time and again. It is steeped in history and has some stunning landscapes. It is also quirky at times, so you are assured of an interesting visit!

Wales

The principality of Wales is full of fascinating places to visit and stay. The castles of Beaumaris, Conwy, Harlech and Caernarfon are officially listed as World heritage sites and provide an insight into the troubled past of this great land. The national park of Snowdonia is stunning and provides walkers and climbers with ample opportunities to challenge their limits.

South Wales also has interesting places to visit: Pembrokeshire is especially inviting for tourists.

England

We all know about the attractions of London but England has a lot more to offer outside of the city. The 'English Riviera', Torquay, is blessed with good weather and is a major tourist attraction. This is a great place to stay and explore the local seaside resorts and go inland towards the vast moors.

Windsor castle is a great place to visit and the town and surrounding areas are beautiful. Warwick castle in the center of England is world famous and holds regular evens to show how life was like in the time it was built.

Chester - This Roman town has a fascinated history stretching back over 1500 years. This can be seen from the Roman, Medieval and Tudor remains liberally scattered across the city. The Walls surrounding the city can be walked around in a couple of hours and allow plenty of opportunity to take photographs. The world famous Rows date back over 500 years and are great for walking and shopping.

Scotland

A great place to visit, Scotland still has many places that are relatively uninhabited. And are great for getting away from it all. Ben Nevis is the highest mountain in the British Isles and the numerous lochs provide great fishing (Beware of the Loch Ness monster!) . In parts you can still hear Gaelic spoken and we all know about the Scottish expertise in making Whisky!

You can also visit the ski resorts of Aviemore in the Cairngorms . Glasgow, the capital is now recognized as a center of culture as well as being a great shopping center.

Perhaps the best thing about the British Isles is its compactness. You can visit many places in a relatively short period of time. The most fascinating part of visiting is traveling the back roads and coming across places not regularly visited by Tourists. Come to the British Isles and see for yourselves what it has to offer.
