United Kingdom
 

The United Kingdom incorporates four countries, England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland and with settlers of many generation from all corners of the globe the UK holds a truly multicultural society. A round the world experience can be achieved without crossing water. Not only diverse in culture, the UK has a landscape incomparable to any other European nation. Huge regional cities many of which are larger than most capital on the continent give way to craggy and sandy beaches alike, mountain ranges and lake land areas and vast forests.

     
   

London is the obvious starting point for any trip with huge points of interest, The Houses of Parliament, Buckingham Palace and London tower some of the more traditional attractions. London is a centrally important economic city with astounding options for entertainment.Scotland capital city Edinburgh's main attraction is Edinburgh castle but this university town deserves a weeks exploring in its own right. Cardiff for wales and Belfast the ruling city in northern island would both also be opportunitiestoo good to miss.

Stretching along the south coast are traditional bucket and spade seaside towns with all the treats. Candy floss, fish n chips and some enviable surf are the catch of the day from Brighton to Lands end. The Cumbrian region stages the breathtaking lake districts populart with climbers walkers and weekend breakers. Famous market towns of Oxford, Durham and Bath serve up british snobbery at its best but with a smile. Cosmopolitan delight manchester, Newcastle and Liverpool all famously have thriving night scenes. Over the summer months the United Kingdom hosts no less than sixty live music festivals in muddy fields with seas of tents attracting a devoted crowd of happy revelers whose only aim is to avoid that British rain.
