Holidays
When traveling
around Britain on a UK holidays, the one most important thing to be aware is that you are
actually visiting three different countries instead of one. They are England, Wales and
Scotland which make up the United Kingdom. And that would also means, you will also be experiencing three different
sets of capital cities, cultures, national identities as well as the
different accent as you
move from one country to another when you are on UK holidays. However, the
most dominant is still England as well as the most
urbanized member of the British partnership, but crossing the border into
the predominantly rural Wales will brings you into an unmistakably Celtic
land, whereas the presence of a profoundly non-English worldview in
Scotland is
definitely striking.
London itself is a
ceaselessly entertaining city, and is the one "must visit" place that can
be found on
everyone's itinerary when they are on UK holidays. London is also the
city with the most happenings in Europe
with lively, fast paced and teeming with full of actions. It touts its
fascinating contradictions as an overwhelming jumble of antiquity and at
the same time, a world
leader in the latest music, fashion, and food with the cuisine better
than ever. As stimulating as the city of London is, however, you might
want to tear yourself away to visit Brighton and Canterbury, which offer
contrasting diversions with the former an appealing seaside resort and
the latter one of Britain's finest medieval cities. The south-west of
England has the rugged moorlands of Devon and the rocky coastline of
Cornwall, and the classic or historic spa city of Bath. The main
highlights of central England are the university cities of Oxford and
Cambridge, and Shakespeare's hometown, Stratford-upon-Avon. Up further
north, the former industrial cities of Manchester, Liverpool and
Newcastle are lively, rejuvenated places and York has splendid historical
treasures, but the landscape is again the real magnet, especially the
uplands of the Lake District.
For true wilderness, head to the Welsh
mountains or Scottish Highlands. The finest of Scotland's lochs, glens
and peaks, and the magnificent scenery of the west coast islands, can be
reached easily from the contrasting cities of Glasgow and Edinburgh - the
latter perhaps Britain's most attractive urban landscape for memorable UK
holidays.
