With so much on offer, you might need some inspiration! We’ve hand-picked a selection of favourite destinations and provided an overview of the very best highlights...
England Highlights
Explore your home and head on a tour featuring many incredible British Royal palaces and homes, including Buckingham and Kensington, as well as the Tower of London and Windsor Castle. Home to the Royals since 1837, Buckingham Palace is a must-visit when on a break in London. The Royal family are a key part of British culture, just like the desire to enjoy Devonshire cream tea in the heart of the rolling countryside, taking the chance to venture on a walking trail like the Agatha Christie Mile in gorgeous Torquay, or relishing in a seaside summer break with some sun, enjoying the traditional seafronts, piers, and bays in gorgeous resorts like Sandown and Yarmouth. England also has a long railroad history, which can be explored on board the extraordinary North Yorkshire Moors Railway, Kent & East Sussex Railway, East Lancashire Railway, and many more, winding through the gorgeous scenery of this attractive country. From the outstanding natural beauty of the Northumbrian coast to the popular resort of Eastbourne, the tranquillity of the breathtaking Lake District to the literary playground of Shakespeare’s County, you’re never short on things to see and do on a holiday in England. Home really is where the heart is, so let’s explore it together…

Isle of Man Highlights
Operating with its original rolling stock dating back to Victorian and Edwardian times, a journey on board the 130-year-old Manx Electric Railway will certainly be one to remember. This line connects Douglas, Laxey and Ramsey and, with the island being small, it is very easy to venture to all of these places and more in one incredible trip! Journeying from the waterfront town of Douglas to the seaside town of Peel on the other side of the island is only a 20-30-minute drive – and it is well worth it. Take the opportunity to visit the small fishing port and magnificent castle in Peel, with its rich history and roots in Celtic, Viking, and maritime past. If you are enjoying the history of the isle, you will love our adventure aboard the nostalgic Isle of Man Steam Railway, which still uses its original locomotives and carriages, our exploration of the wonderful Port Erin Steam Museum, and the heritage-filled tour to the south of the isle visiting the Village Folk Museum at Cregneash. Whether you’d prefer to explore the coastlines and countryside or enjoy heritage rail experiences, browse our carefully curated tours and start planning your Isle of Man discovery.

Scotland Highlights
This lovely British country offers both natural beauty, in its spectacular mountain ranges and lochs, and an abundance of architecture, ancient history, and medieval sites. In the capital city of Edinburgh, visitors will find fantastic shopping opportunities on Princes Street, the 900-year-old Edinburgh Castle, and a wealth of churches and cathedrals – the most important of them all, St. Giles, the High Kirk of Edinburgh, boasts breathtaking Gothic architecture and a famous crown-topped steeple. Venture a short distance out of the city to discover the iconic Royal Yacht Britannia or visit Roslin, to see the remarkable Rosslyn Chapel. If you take a closer look at the surface, you will see it is almost entirely covered by intricate and inspiring hand-carvings. Loch Lomond & the Trossachs National Park is perfect for those who are searching for stunning beauty spots, and you can explore its history, sights, and wildlife on board the Loch cruise, venturing over the deepest waters with Ben Lomond towering above. Or, in the Highlands of Scotland, uncover the mysterious Black Isle, with an ancient history to explore and resident bottlenose dolphins to spot. With so many destinations to tick off your bucket list, why not start now with our range of Scotland holidays?

Most popular destinations include charming Llandudno which offers visitors traditional seaside delights, cosy cafés and a Grade II listed pier, and Snowdonia National Park where breathtaking natural landscapes are dotted with beautiful villages such as Betws-y-Coed. Take in the stunning vistas from aboard the Dean Forest Railway or Snowdon Mountain Railway, or visit White Castle Winery for a taste of your local surroundings. Tenby, on the west coast, is one of Wales’ top seaside towns, with its picture-postcard houses and gorgeous, sandy beach. For something completely unique, the romantic village of Portmeirion is a delight to explore, with Italianate-style architecture and charming gardens. Whether you’re a lover of great views and the great outdoors, or prefer historic and cultural attractions, delve into Wales on a fully escorted tour.

With truly spectacular views and a look at old German bunkers from World War II, learn more about the extensive history of the area with a visit to the lighthouse, as well as a trip to the hugely significant and enormous Jersey War Tunnels. Visitors can see the fascinating exhibit in the underground tunnels themselves or walk the War Trail and find the field fortifications and defences. Jersey Museum & Art Gallery also gives an insight into the rich history and culture of Jersey, featuring the compelling and insightful Story of Jersey film. Beyond the landmarks and heritage, Jersey is a great island to escape to and simply enjoy.

Northern Ireland Highlights
The capital city of Northern Ireland, Belfast, is best-known for being the birthplace of the Titanic. Today, you can venture to the award-winning attraction of Titanic Belfast – a museum and monument dedicated to the sunken ship – and take a journey through the story from conception, launch, to its eventual immortalisation in history. Belfast is also home to the gorgeous Queen’s University, local and global collections of the Ulster Museum, and the iconic building that is the Belfast City Hall. Beyond the capital, visitors to Norther Ireland can venture around the exhibits at the Saint Patrick Centre in Downpatrick, detailing the life of Ireland’s patron saint. Nearby, in the churchyard of Down Cathedral, is where Saint Patrick is believed to have been buried. And, finally, no trip to Northern Ireland would be complete without a visit to the wonderful walled city of Derry. There is a rich history to be explored here, with the opportunity to walk along parts of the walls, taking the time to view the many murals depicting its turbulent history, before entering the city centre, where lively bars and boutique stores line the streets. With excellent ‘craic’, warm and friendly hospitality, and an abundance of cultural sights to uncover, let us inspire your journey to this spectacular corner of the UK.
