Home of castles and royal families, bustling cities and quaint country villages, natural wonders and mystical treasures; the UK is a wonderful place to travel and explore. Aside from its well-known landmarks and monuments, the UK has an endearing heritage that is treasured and nurtured by its people. Its difficult to tell if its heart lies in its village green, the duckpond, the country lane and the farmyard; or in its energetic, fast-paced cities that have been able to reinvent themselves over the centuries; but either way, the UK will not disappoint.
