With so many stunning locations across Britain to visit, it's hard to make up your mind where exactly to plan your trip. We can suggest the UK's must-see beauty spots to add to your bucket list.

The Giant's Causeway

One of Northern Ireland’s best-known attractions, the Giant’s Causeway, north of Belfast, is a remarkable vast natural rock formation created millions of years ago by cooling lava. The basalt columns, protruding from the sea, make a majestic centerpiece – this whole area is a must-see. It is a popular road trip route, thanks to its cinematic cliffscapes which drop off into the Atlantic Ocean. This scenery was frequently used in the hit TV series Game of Thrones. Thousands of basalt columns have various legends associated with them, the most famous involving a fight between giants from Ireland and Scotland. Climb atop the colums for stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean and keep your eyes open for all kinds of rare plants, butterflies, snails, and bees!

The Lake District

The Lake District National Park is in North West England. It is the largest National Park in the country and is considered one of its most scenic regions and England's best destination for hiking¹ and climbing. It is home to Scafell Pike, England's highest mountain, and Wastwater, the nation’s deepest lake. The region has strong literary ties too, which can be explored at the World of Beatrix Potter attraction and at Dove Cottage, William Wordsworth’s former home. William Wordsworth and his Romantic friends were the first to praise the charms of the Lake District and it’s not hard to see what excited them. The Lake District became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2017, recognising its long history of hill farming – but for most people it’s the chance to hike and enjoy the gorgeous scenery that keep them returning year after year. The Lake District National Park is famous for its stargazing too and is listed as a Dark Skies Discovery site. Known for its beauty and greenery the Lake District has an abundance of awe-inspiring scenery to view on the way.

The Eden Project

Looking like a cross between a lunar landing station and a James Bond hideaway, the gigantic hemispherical greenhouses of the Eden Project have become a symbol of Cornwall. Dreamt up by ex-record producer Tim Smit, Eden’s glass-domed ‘biomes’ recreate major world climate systems in microcosm, from the lush¹ jungles of the Amazon rainforest to the olive and citrus trees, and colourful flowers of the Mediterranean, South Africa and Australia. More than just a huge, tropical garden, Eden is a gateway into the relationships between plants and people, and a fascinating insight into the story of mankind’s dependence on plant life. Not only a mind-blowing visitor attraction, Eden is also fast-becoming a unique resource for education and knowledge towards a sustainable future.
