Come and Stay in the UK

Where would you go if you could fly anywhere on a private jet in the UK? The United Kingdom, one of the world’s most popular travel destinations, offers nearly limitless options for vacationers looking for fun things to do and top attractions to visit. Historic sites abound, ranging from prehistoric megaliths and ancient Roman sites to centuries-old castles and mediaeval town centres. The United Kingdom is also straightforward to navigate, with trains and buses connecting its most popular tourist destinations. You can also drive between points of interest on a well-planned network of highways. Whether you travel by car or public transportation, you will have an unforgettable experience. 

With this in mind, we thought we would look at some of the most visited places in the UK. This will hopefully give you some great ideas on where to visit for your next vacation.

  1. London – Well, it had to be number one, right? I was born here, after all! While it is possible to plan a trip to the UK without visiting London, it is not recommended. The country’s sprawling capital has plenty of attractions to keep you entertained, as well as beautiful resorts and hotels to keep you comfortable. One of the top things to do in London for those interested in learning more about the UK’s rich history is to visit the Tower of London. This former palace and prison, located beside the spectacular Tower Bridge on the banks of the River Thames, includes highlights such as the iconic 1,000-year-old White Tower. This houses fascinating displays of armour and weaponry, and the Jewel House, which houses the Crown Jewels.
  1. Stonehenge – Stonehenge, one of the top tourist attractions in England, is one of the world’s most important prehistoric sites. However, because it was built by a culture that left no written records, many aspects of Stonehenge are still debated. According to evidence, the large stones were erected around 2500 BC. Stonehenge’s exact purpose is unknown, but many scholars believe the monument was used as a ceremonial or religious centre.
  1. Roman Baths – The Roman Baths attract over a million visitors each year and are one of Europe’s finest historical sites. You can walk on the original Roman floors and marvel at the ruins of the Baths, which still have natural hot water flowing through them.
  1. Loch Ness – This freshwater lake is known for housing a monster known as Nessie and is one of the most beautiful places to visit in the UK. This lake, which covers an area of 30 kilometres, is quite deep and has a large water volume. Given their historical significance, the Scottish Highlands are also significant. The region is sparsely populated and is surrounded by lush green mountains. Many visit Ben Nevis, the region’s highest peak, for hiking, trekking, biking, and other activities.
  1. Cambridge – Cambridge, located in Eastern England on the River Cam, is home to the world-renowned University of Cambridge. When it comes to pleasing vacationers, out of all the places in England that people visit, Cambridge provides far too many options. It is a city with many parks and other open spaces ideal for outdoor activities such as walking and cycling. This city is best known for the University of Cambridge. Still, it also has the most conserved monumental structures, making it particularly popular with architecture students and enthusiasts.
  1. Chester Zoo – Chester Zoo is home to Europe’s largest Orangutan exhibit and the UK’s most extensive zoo-based butterfly house. It not only houses 11,000 animals, including some of the world’s most endangered species but also 110 acres of award-winning gardens. Visit a Himalayan rock garden, go mini-golfing, or have your face painted to look like your favourite animal.
  1. The Lake District – When planning a trip to the United Kingdom, many people think of the Lake District first. That is if you enjoy outdoor activities. Who can blame them?! It’s no surprise that the green, rolling hills, lakes, and stunning views make it one of the most popular places in the UK. If you’re up for a challenge, you can do a Via Ferrata or climb Scafell Pike, England’s highest mountain. I’ve visited the Lake District several times and have always had a good time.
  1. Corfe Castle – Corfe Castle is one of the oldest settlements I’ve seen in England. People have lived here for over 8,000 years. It’s a total throwback and will transport you to an Old English world 1,000 years ago. That’s exactly how it feels. Take a stroll through Corfe Castle, browse the small boutiques, and grab a delicious Sunday roast at Mortons House Restaurant. If trains are your thing, there is even a historic train that runs from Corfe Castle Station to Swanage.
