England is now better known for vibrant cities with great nightlife and attractions, contrasted with green and pleasant countryside.
It's said that Ireland, once visited, is never forgotten; the landscape has a mythic resonance, the country's history is almost tangible, and its people seem put on earth expressly to restore faith in humanity.
Wales is just what you picture it to be: rolling moorlands, tongue-twisting place names, Rugby Union... But also fantastic walking, cycling, fishing, water and adventure sports as well as some fine festivals.
Scotland's' people are feisty, opinionated and fiercely loyal. The countryside is a wild, beautiful tumble of raw mountain peaks and deep glassy lakes.

International
communist links, music bonanzas, tales of grand drug busts and enough
nationalities to tempt Kofi Annan to hold a UN summit here, it’s what
the Scottish highlands are all about - or more specifically, Ullapool
in Wester Ross. ... Read more >

October 26, 2009 For sheer scenic splendour, few places can measure up to the Lake District, where Wordsworth and his Romantic compatriots sought poetic muse in the 19 th Century. The area is justifiably popular, with its sweeping panorama of ... Read more >

October 22 - 25 For the uninitiated – like myself at the start of the week - Newcastle seems all about coal and industry, the lifeblood of modern civilisation but not all that interesting for tourists. But in actual fact it has been raised ... Read more >
