The best things about visiting the UK

February 18, 2019 by Josh Leave a Comment

The UK is a wonderful part of the world and is full of history, great landscapes and unique dishes. But what are the best things about the UK and where should you travel to? we’re going to take a look at this now:

It’s Easy to Travel in and Around the UK

The UK is quite small when you compare it to other countries and it has some great transport links. You can pretty much get anywhere in the UK by bus, train or car. Some cities even have trams that will take you from one side of town to another. What’s more, is some beaches have funiculars. A funicular is a type of carriage, similar to a train carriage that is operated by cables. These cables help the funicular move up or down a very steep slope.

If you plan to travel long distances you may want to think about jumping on a train. Trains in the UK can take you just about anywhere and in some cases, you may be helping to keep some of those quieter stations open.

It’s Home to Many UNESCO World Heritage Sites

If you want to find yourself a cheap break in the UK you may be pleased to know that this country is home to approximately 30 UNESCO world heritage sites. This means you have the opportunity to visit some incredibly beautiful and historic sites such as:

  • The Derwent Valley Mills – Known as the birthplace of factory systems, worker’s housing and the water frame.
  • The Lake District – Scenic landscapes, literature and visual arts.
  • The Forth Bridge – A cantilever railway bridge located in East Scotland.
  • Ironbridge Gorge – A transport infrastructure, worker’s homes, mines and the first bridge to be made from iron.
  • Saltaire – A village that was built by a mill owner for his workers.

Amazing Beaches

While the UK may not be one of the world’s warmest countries it still has some amazing beaches. With a coastline that’s almost 19,500 miles long, there are plenty of beaches just waiting to be visited. Beaches in Cornwall are particularly beautiful as are those in North Yorkshire and Saltburn-by-the-sea.

Diverse Cities

The UK is full of some amazingly diverse cities that offer something for everyone. London, Edinburgh, Newcastle, York and Cambridge, to name but a few. With 66 cities just waiting for you to visit them, if you want to stay in a city you certainly have a lot to choose from.

Every city in the UK is different and they all have a unique history, culture and story. Try to visit as many cities as you can as there really are some incredible sights to see. While many people stick to staying in London they are missing out. Travel further north or west and see what the UK’s cities have to offer.

The UK is full of great transport links, UNESCO World Heritage Sites, amazing beaches and diverse cities. Whether you already live in the UK or you plan to visit this country you are certain to have a great time.
