England

England is a country of impressive diversity and variety, divided into nine distinct regions - each with its own unique personality for things to do and places to see.

From the rolling hills of the Cotswolds and bustling city life of Manchester to the charms of sleepy Cornish villages and dramatic coastal splendour of the North East.

Northern Ireland

This is a land of blue mountains and forest parks, mazy lakes and windswept moors, white Atlantic sands, an inland sea. In fact, it's a country that is just pretending to be small. Dozens of small towns are hidden away down among the green places of the countryside, and fishing villages string out along the shores.

The towers and steeples of parish churches mark the high ground beyond trimmed hedgerows.

Because Northern Ireland is only 5,500 square miles in area - about the size of Yorkshire or Connecticut - you can see most of the main attractions in a week without clocking up more than 500 miles.

Scotland

What makes Scotland such a hugely popular tourist destination is the sheer range of attractions and activities packed into such a small and accessible country.

Whether your preference is for sporting or cultural, indoor or outdoor, city or countryside, there's always something to see or do that will make your trip all the more memorable.
