Perched on a volcanic plug above the city, connected to the Palace of Holyroodhouse by the Royal Mile β€” one of the most dramatic urban streetscapes in the world.

The Cotswolds

Honey-stone villages draped in wisteria, rolling sheep pastures, and pubs serving local ale since the 1500s β€” the England Americans dream about.

Scottish Highlands & Isle of Skye
Highland Scotland

An impossibly dramatic landscape of ancient mountains, deep sea lochs, and mist-drifting glens. The Isle of Skye's Fairy Pools and Old Man of Storr feel like another world.

Tower of London

Tower of London

A 1,000-year-old fortress on the Thames that served as palace, prison, and execution site. The Crown Jewels alone justify the visit.
