Countries
England
 A country of royalty and pomp,
quaint villages, English country gardens, stately sprawls and wistful
rolling countryside there’s no place quite like England.
England
is a country known, the world over, for its consumption of tea, its
propensity for the inexplicable game of cricket (and usually loosing)
and its national obsession with the weather. But despite its
eccentricities, England has been at the hub of Britain and indeed the
rest of the world throughout most of its history. The English language
is the most widely spoken in the world and, its system of governance
has been adopted in countless nations around the globe.
Scotland
Geographically and culturally speaking, Scotland is a land apart from
the rest of Britain. A land of great untamed beauty, home to a people
with a distinctive culture and a proud national identity, Scotland is a
country that deserves special attention and will reward you with a
lifetime of cherished memories.
For many people Scotland
begins and ends with Edinburgh , the country’s capital city or Glasgow
its contemporary urban centre. But of Scotland’s many attributes, its
most prized is the romantic wilderness of the Highlands . A vast untamed
area of rugged peaks, heather swept glens and shimmering lochs, all
teeming with wildlife.
Wales
 The Principality of Wales as part of Great Britain is not a
region, as is a common misconception internationally. Wales is a
country in its own right, as proudly distinct in the British Isles as Scotland and England and it is now gaining equal recognition on the world stage.
Wales is in resurgence both politically and culturally, with its vibrant capital Cardiff
promoting itself as Europe’s youngest Capital City as it was
established as such in 1955. There is an irony here not lost on the
Welsh, as theirs is one of the oldest cultures and languages in Europe,
established here by the Celts around 600BC.
