England and Scotland – Best of UK

Made up of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, the United Kingdom may not always seem very united – indeed, Scotland came close to voting for independence in 2014.

Yet this historic state is packed with appeal for the visitor, from pulsing cities to stunning countryside. England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are fine destinations in their own right, and travels between these countries reveal both the shared culture and distinct local flavours that contribute to the UK.
