What to visit in United Kingdom ?

The United Kingdom operates by layering: strata of cultures, accents and histories that coexist without really merging. London absorbs everything, but the country reveals itself elsewhere - in Shropshire country pubs, the lanes of Bristol, the festivals of Glasgow or the cliffs of Pembrokeshire. The British have a distinctive relationship with rain, queueing and afternoon tea, and those habits really do shape daily life.

England carries most of the tourist flow, but Scotland offers a remarkable density of landscape between the Cairngorms and the Hebrides. Wales, often underestimated, lines up medieval castles and wild coast in a compact territory. Northern Ireland, led by Belfast, has changed profoundly over the past twenty years. Each nation has its own codes, and treating them as one uniform block is the first mistake a traveller makes.
