Britain is steeped in history and whatever era of the past interests you most, whether it’s the Tudors, Victorians, World War I and II, or something else, there’s guaranteed to be an attraction to capture your imagination.

Britain’s top attractions include Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle, the Eden Project, York Minster, Hadrian’s Wall, Edinburgh Castle, Loch Ness, Lake Windermere, the Jurassic Coast, Blackpool Tower, Albert Dock, Snowdonia, Giant’s Causeway and many, many others besides.

The British countryside is absolutely stunning and something often neglected by tourists among the country’s top attractions. But there are some beautiful – and free – days out where you can get back to nature and uncover some hidden gems from the very south of England, right to the top of Scotland and the Inner and Outer Hebrides.
