The United Kingdom is made up of England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland and the Isle of Man. There is a lot to see and do in the UK and its small size makes it a great destination to explore by car. Offering a mixture of ancient history and rolling countryside, the UK appeals to all ages.

Try skiing in the Cairngorms, or a spot of golf at St Andrews or one of the many courses throughout the UK. There are a huge variety of opportunities to go hiking, try visiting the Peak District or the Brecon Beacons in Wales. Northern Ireland plays host to a stunning landscape and the wonderful city of Belfast. Despite its compact size, the United Kingdom is one of the most culturally diverse places that you can visit.
