The United Kingdom is made up of four distinctive countries: England, Scotland and Wales and Northern Ireland. With a range of dialect that is distinctive in every region, from the good old Cockney to the distinctive Scouse, the UK is a sample of both a traditional ‘olde’ styles and the new modern world. The region is a beautiful place, with small inns and taverns, and a history that will thoroughly astound you.
Its capital is London, one of the most diverse cities in the world, with many historical landmark sights such as the Houses of Parliament, Tower of London, and Big Ben. However, not all of the UK’s wonders are found in London. With places to visit such as the Lake District for beautiful picturesque scenery, to Land’s End in Cornwall where the Olympic Touch began its relay around the UK.
Even in the winter, the UK is a lovely place to visit. With chances of snow, and occasional chances of skiing in Scotland, winter in the UK is quaint, damp and not too dissimilar to the UK in the summer. Come and explore the castles, cathedrals, old traditional pub, rolling hills and a country with a sense of history. There are perfect days for wintry log fires and a flask of hot chocolate, and many interesting coastlines and sceneries to explore. If you’re a history buff, you will have the best time in this small region.
