The Best Of Ireland

The tour was great and our tour / bus driver is one of the best. He's extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of Ireland and went out of his way to do extra things that were not on the itinerary. We had plenty of time at all of our stops and loads of free time as well. Thanks Indus for a great time.

England Scotland Ireland – Highlights of UK

Classic Scotland Self Drive

An excellent tour. Excellent hotels and average B&Bs. We did not know that a couple of places were going to have the hotels substituted for B&Bs, The B&B in Inverness was average (although the hosts were lovely people). The Edinburgh B&B was an interesting house, but there was no parking there, so had to park in a car park 20 mins walk away at extra costs (although this was the discounted rate offered by the B&B).

Taste of South England and Wales

A great way to see some of the most popular and beautiful destinations in this part of the country. The itinerary includes stops in London, Bournemouth/Southampton, Exeter/Torquay, and Cornwall. One of the things I liked most about this tour was that it gave me the flexibility to set my own pace. I could spend as much or as little time as I wanted in each place, and I could also choose to do some activities on my own. This made the tour feel 100% personal and tailored to my interests. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is interested in seeing some of the best that this part of Britain has to offer.

Best time for travel british landscapes featuring england, scotland and wales.

While just about any month is great to visit Great Britain, there are a few prime times of the year for the British Landscapes tour. Here are some recommendations from our destination experts.

Spring: Enjoy fewer crowds and signs of spring as the days grow a little longer. Noting that some hotels do not have air conditioning, the naturally cooler temperatures through spring can be the most comfortable for those who prefer it.

Summer: Experience summer in England like a local – along with the locals enjoying their summer holidays, as well! While it can get crowded in some places, this does bring a lively joviality to the destination.

Day 2 - London

Day: 20 miles | 0 Km*

There are so many interesting things to do and see in London but luckily you can add extra nights to your stay here if you wish. Shop at the world famous Harrods Store. With a wide choice of wine bars and traditional pubs in all areas, many offering entertainment, it is easy to find an interesting place to rest and revive yourself with a drink or a traditional London dish of perhaps an Arnold Bennett omelet made with haddock and cheese. Complete your perfect day with a visit to a Theater or Concert Hall.

Day 3 - London – Runnymede – Windsor – Salisbury

Pick up your rental car and drive to Runnymede, where a circular temple commemorates the signing in the year 1215 of the Magna Carta (widely viewed as one of the most important documents in the history of democracy). Drive on to the cobbled streets of Windsor and visit England’s largest castle, Windsor Castle (dating back to Henry II in 1165–1179) which still remains today a favorite royal residence. Here you can tour the State Apartments, the magnificent St. George’s Chapel, and walk through Windsor Great Park. For lunch try the traditional Brown Windsor Soup. Across Windsor Bridge is Britain’s most famous school, Eton College, founded in 1440 by the young Henry VI. Then continue to the historic city of Salisbury where we have arranged your overnight stay.

Day 4 - Salisbury – Stonehenge – Stourhead – Plymouth

This morning stroll through Salisbury, where its Market Square and medieval streets named after the trades which once flourished there – Fish Row, Butcher Row, Silver Street – are lined by gabled half-timbered houses dating from 14th to 17th century. View the magnificent Salisbury Cathedral, which boasts the tallest spire in Britain. Leave Salisbury and as you drive across Salisbury Plain you see the great stone circle of Stonehenge, a World Heritage Site. Believed to have been erected 5,000 years ago it is the most celebrated prehistoric monument in Britain. From here your drive takes you to Stourhead House, whose idyllic Gardens are one of the supreme examples of English landscape. Continue your drive through Dorset (Thomas Hardy country) to the ancient seaport of Plymouth, where we have arranged your two-night stay. This was the port of departure for Drake, Raleigh, Cook and the Pilgrim Fathers when they set sail to America.

Day 5 - Plymouth; Visit Cornish Coast – Penzance – Land's End

Your two-night stay will allow you to explore the beauty and charm of Devon and Cornwall, the part of England where the local accent makes everyone sound like pirates. From as far back as the 14th century there are legends of pirate gangs who attacked ships as they sailed by this area. Pass smugglers’ coves and quaint fishing villages to St. Michael’s Mount. This amazing rocky island, with its medieval castle and 1,000-year-old legends and myths is separated from the mainland by a 500-yard granite causeway. Stop at Land’s End, the most westerly point of the British mainland, then to Penzance, with its wealth of good shops, cafes, restaurants and pubs. Try the traditional Cream Tea served in Devon and Cornwall, warm scones topped with clotted cream and strawberry jam accompanied with a pot of tea. Beyond is Penzance Harbour whose inner dock shelters fishing boats and commercial vessels and where visiting yachts and the occasional tall-masted sailing ships lie against the granite quays. From here drive to the picturesque fishing harbor of St. Ives, a famous artists’ colony with its winding alleys, hillside terraces and color-washed fishermen’s cottages. The Tate St. Ives exhibits modern art from the London Tate collections and sculptress Barbara Hepworth’s home is now a museum. Drive across Bodmin Moor as you return to Plymouth.

Day 6 - Plymouth – Glastonbury – Wells – Bath

Today’s journey skirts Dartmoor National Park where ponies, cattle and sheep graze freely on the moor with nearby wooded valleys, cascading streams and small villages. Make a stop to enjoy the real Cheddar cheese, named after the caves where it is ripened. Drive on to Glastonbury, which historical legend links with King Arthur and his Knights of the Roundtable, and see the Abbey ruins, a famous center of learning in the middle ages. Your drive now takes you passed the cathedral city of Wells, which has been used as the setting for several films. Then to the historic and elegant city of Bath, a World Heritage Site, which in the 18th century became a fashionable spa town, and where we have arranged your overnight accommodation. Admire the graceful Georgian terraces and villas, the Pump Room with its spa water fountain, where lunch and afternoon tea are served, and the elegant Assembly Rooms built for people to meet, dance, play cards, and drink tea. Visit the amazing excavations of the Roman Baths. These Roman ruins stretch out beneath the city in all directions and consists of the Sacred Spring, the Roman Temple and the Roman bath house.

Day 7 - Bath – Chepstow – Cardiff

Leave the elegant city of Bath and drive across the border to Wales and the town of Chepstow, whose great Town Gate slopes down to the elegant cast-iron structure crossing the Wye. Here you will see Chepstow Castle, which dates back to 1067. Your drive now takes you to the capital of Wales, Cardiff, a city of contrasts where ornate buildings stand shoulder to shoulder with the city’s architectural cutting-edge designs. Cardiff Castle is a 12th century twelve-sided stone keep built within the ruins of a Roman fort. Within this compact city’s center, you’ll find unique attractions and top class entertainment. Browse through the unusual shops and cafes in the arcades. Innovative architecture sits alongside historic buildings and the bustle of the city center is only a few strides from acres of peaceful parklands. Cardiff Bay offers indoor and outdoor entertainment for everyone.

Day 8 - Cardiff – Brecon Beacons N. P. – Powis – Chester

Depart Cardiff and drive to the beautiful Brecon Beacons National Park. Much of the Park is grassy moorland grazed by Welsh mountain ponies and sheep, with valleys, waterfalls and caves. Your drive then continues to the town of Welshpool where Powis Castle lies. The Italian style gardens were created in the 17th century, enhancing the Castle’s craggy site, and are one of the rare remaining masterpieces of the period. Continue to the historic city of Chester where we have arranged your overnight stay. At Chester a surveyor in the Roman era laid out the line of the Via Praetoria – now Bridge Street – and the Via Principalis – now Watergate Street. Its port was used by sea-going vessels during the Roman occupation and is the only city in Britain that has preserved a continuous circuit of walls.

Day 9 - Chester – Lake District – Kendal

Leave behind The Rows of Chester as you drive to the stunning Lake District, which takes its name from the beautiful stretches of water that occupies many of its glaciated valleys. Its rocks are used in the building of local cottages and whitewashed farm houses, and the wild drama of the fells is set off by the gentle pastoral character of much of its lowlands, such as the famous Lake Windermere, England’s longest lake. Arrive at the medieval city of Kendal, birthplace of Henry VIII’s sixth wife Catherine Parr, where we have arranged your overnight stay. Visit the Elizabethan manor of Levens Hall and its Topiary Gardens which have been preserved intact.

The museum at the Corbridge Roman Site presents the layout of the site with its granaries, fountains, temples etc. The Roman Army Museum at Carvoran, with its audio-visual presentations, houses examples of Roman armor, dress and weapons. Cross into Scotland and your drive takes you through the scenic Lowlands to Glasgow, where we have arranged your overnight stay.

The whole area is one of great scenic beauty and easily accessible as you experience the spectacular scenery of heather covered mountains, cliffs and moorlands. Situated at River Ness, which flows from Loch Ness, is the traditional capital of the Scottish Highlands, Inverness, where we have arranged your overnight stay.

Day 12 - Inverness – Blair Castle – Stirling – Edinburgh

We have arranged a two-night stay in Scotland’s beautiful capital, Edinburgh, a World Heritage Site.

Day 13 - Edinburgh

Edinburgh is set on a series of volcanic hills, each giving a different vantage point from which to view this beautiful city, considered one of the most picturesque cities in Europe. With its past rich in history there are many places to visit by foot within the city – Edinburgh’s impressive Castle, Arthur’s Seat overlooking Holyrood Park, the Old Town, huddled for years on the ridge running down from the Castle Rock and contrasting with the New Town with its elegant Georgian streets and squares. Take a short drive along the Fife coast to the city of St. Andrews, with its imposing Cathedral, Castle, famous University and the “home” of golf.

Day 14 - Edinburgh – Durham – York

From Edinburgh drive south through the county of Durham with its moors, rivers and magnificent scenery of stunning Pennine valleys and waterfalls. Arrive at the medieval city of Durham whose quiet streets and castle are a perfect foil for its great Norman Cathedral in a truly remarkable setting and a World Heritage Site. Leave Durham as your journey then takes you across the Yorkshire Moors to the walled city of York where we have arranged your overnight accommodation. York is one of England’s most historic cities noted for its rich 2,000 year history from the time of the Romans, Vikings and Normans to the Georgians and Victorians. Walk the tangle of quaint cobbled streets, visit the iconic York Minster, the Mansion House and world-class museums. Delve into the city’s vibrant café culture and enjoy talented street entertainers or watch the world go by as you have a drink in a pub by the river or have a traditional English dinner of roast beef and Yorkshire pudding.

Day 15 - York – Chatsworth – Stratford-upon-Avon

Today’s journey takes you to the magnificent stately home of Chatsworth, Derbyshire It is one of the true Treasure Houses of England and the ancestral home of the Dukes of Devonshire since Bess of Hardwick settled there in 1549. The House, set in expansive parkland, is on a massive scale, opulent and designed to impress (and it does). It contains a unique collection of priceless paintings, furniture, neoclassical sculpture, books and artifacts. The beautiful 1,000-acre park that surrounds Chatsworth is open throughout the year and everyone is welcome to walk, play and picnic there. Leave the opulence of Chatsworth for the beauty of Stratford-upon-Avon, the birthplace of William Shakespeare, and where we have arranged your overnight stay. Set on the banks of the river Avon and steeped in culture and history you get a taste of Olde England as you wonder through its streets. View Ann Hathaway’s thatched cottage, and the ornately carved half-timbered Harvard House where the American flag flies in honor of the son of the house, John Harvard, who founded Harvard University, which owns the building today. See a play at the home of the Royal Shakespeare Company.

Day 16 - Stratford – Warwick – Blenheim – Oxford – London

Leave Stratford for your drive to Warwick. Britain’s great medieval experience is a visit to Warwick Castle, which has been brought to life using tableaux of wax figures recreating characters and events of its fascinating history. On to Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire. This greatest building of the English Baroque with its exuberant details and theatrical composition is the residence of the Dukes of Marlborough and the birthplace of Winston Churchill. Its splendor is matched by the sublime landscape of its vast park. On to the ancient city of Oxford, on the north bank of the River Thames. Here England’s oldest university traces its roots back to the 12th century. Oxford University’s colleges, the Queen’s College, Merton, Magdalen, Oriel and Corpus Christi , each have their own history and picturesque settings.

Enjoy the royal treatment in Great Britain

Travel through time on one of our legendary England tours, from the prehistoric mysteries of Stonehenge through the grand castles and battlements of the British Empire, to the pop culture touchstones of modern England and Wales. Whether you opt for a grand tour or a quick getaway, you'll get to glimpse a side of Great Britain you've never seen before.

London's iconic clock tower holds the bell named "Big Ben," which weighs over 15 tons and rings out the time on the hour.

Researchers now believe it took more than 1,500 years for ancient tribes to build this stone monument. Yet it still aligns perfectly with the sunrise on summer solstice.

• Snowdonia National Park

This beautiful 823-square-mile national park boasts the highest mountain in England and Wales, and the largest natural lake in Wales.

Shakespeare's Birthplace

The home where Shakespeare grew up—and which he later bequeathed to his heirs—once served as an inn, called the Swan and Maidenhead.

• Windsor Castle

This thousand-year-old castle is the longest-inhabited castle in the world, and was a particular favorite of King Henry VIII and Queen Elizabeth I.

• Tower of London

The fortress at the heart of London has a long and exciting past, as a royal residence, a prison, an armory, and even a zoo. It's currently home to the royal family's priceless Crown Jewels, including the incredible Cullinan diamond, over 500 carats of sparkle.

The Cotswolds

The rolling hills and charming villages of The Cotswolds served as the inspiration for the equally charming Shire in J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings novels.

Roman Baths

The mineral-rich hot springs in Bath drew visitors for more than 2,000 years. The ancient Romans and Britons soaked away their aches and pains here in the time of Caesar.

Harry Potter Studio Tour

The moviemaking magic that helped create the eight movies of J.K. Rowling's classic Harry Potter novels is on full display at the Studio Tour. Visitors can see many of the thousands of costumes, props and sets that went into creating the series—including the full-sized Hogwarts Express.

• Cardiff Castle

There are 2,000 years of history inside the walls of this grand castle in the "World Capital of Castles." Cardiff Castle started as a Roman fortification before the current towers and walls were built in medieval times.

Big Ben and Parliament

No trip to London is complete without a visit to these imposing, world-famous landmarks.

Hampton Court

The dramatic history of Henry VIII and his wives comes alive in this Tudor palace in Richmond, surrounded by gorgeous gardens and the famous Maze and Great Vine.

• Castle Howard

This sublime 18th-century mansion with its elaborate chambers was the setting for the filming of Brideshead Revisited.

The Fab Four got their start in this port city, noted for launching the Beatles—and a famous football team.

Coastal England

On England's beautiful, rustic coast, you're never very far from glorious views.

London's Tower Bridge

The grand bridge over the Thames is often erroneously called London Bridge (and it's never fallen down!).

Palace Ceiling

English castles and palaces boast splendid interiors reminiscent of the country's regal and lordly past.
