   |
| Why Britain |
|
Visit Britain and
discover a country of great contrast and
diversity both in the places you go and the
people you meet. All the regions of
the are within easy reach of the exciting
capital London, famed for its first class
culture, fascinating history and pageantry
and world class restaurants and theatres. |
|
In London one
of the world's greatest cities, there is an
array of things to see and do --
historic monuments, festivals, museums,
galleries, theatres and shopping, with
everything from the street markets of
Portobello Road, Petticoat Lane and Camden
to the designer shops in Knightsbridge and
Covent Garden. |
|
The area south of London boasts glorious gardens, oast houses and
stately homes whilst the southern coast has an enviable reputation for
its beaches and resorts, historic market towns and the charming
cathedral cities of Winchester and Salisbury, close to Stonehenge.
To the south west of London, the West Country offers great surfing off
the craggy Cornwall coast, picturesque thatched cottage villages in the
Cotswold's, historic Bath, cider from Somerset and delicious Devon cream teas. |
|
In
England's north you will find the scenic splendour of lakes and
mountains, castles, dramatic coastlines and glorious national parks,
combined with the medieval city of York, lively Blackpool and
Manchester, world renowned for its football clubs. In the south
you will see a gentler landscape; quiet country lanes and inland
waterways, the shimmering fenlands of the east coast, Stratford,
Shakespeare's birthplace and the university town of Cambridge. |
|
Scotland - In Edinburgh the
castle dominates the city and from its
ramparts you can look down on medieval lanes
and elegant sweeping terraces that hold over
a thousand years of history, mystery and
tradition. Yet there is a modern,
dynamic Edinburgh where international
festivals attract world class performers,
galleries display cutting-edge art and bars,
restaurants and clubs create a lively,
cosmopolitan atmosphere with a Scottish
twist. Each of Scotland's 6 cities has its own
distinctive character but all guarantee the
visitor a vibrant mix of history, culture,
entertainment and shopping. Or you can
escape to the tranquillity of Scotland's
breathtaking highland landscape. |
|
Wales - For a small
country, Wales manages to fit in a lot.
There are mountain, valleys, beaches,
history and culture, as well as three
national parks, over 400 castles and a
variety of theme parks.
