United Kingdom Hotels

The United Kingdom is so-called because it IS a kingdom comprising of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, united as one. Located just off the north-western coast of continental Europe and separated from it by the English Channel, the UK has a monarchy much admired the world over. English is the main language spoken by the population of around sixty two million people, but there are also the Celtic languages of Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales and the Channel Islands. The UK boasts the world's sixth-largest economy. Traditionally the different sections of the UK have their own culture, sights and foods.

In Scotland (where the temperature is cooler than in England), there’s the kilt, bagpipes, Robbie Burns and Haggis to try. In Wales there are rolling hills, Welsh Lamb, choral song and a thriving music scene. Northern Ireland’s dance heritage, traditional music and great scenery are not to be missed.

While in England, the excitement of the capital city London’s theatre land, museums, Tower of London and the Thames draw many visitors. Rural England is a treasure trove of fantastic scenery. Visit the birthplace of William Shakespeare in Stratford-on-Avon or go surfing down south in Devon or Cornwall.

It’s a green and pleasant land.
