There are plenty of things that make Britain Great, but up at the top is our beautiful countryside - from the highlands to the West Country and everywhere in between you can see stunning scenery, dramatic coastlines and discover the secrets of our nation's flora and fauna.

With so much work being done to protect and preserve our heritage, we are lucky to be able to chart our ancestors' impact as far back as the Stone Age with areas devoted to keeping ancient traditions alive and well for future generations.

We can also discover much more recent changes such as the establishment of the National Parks and the reintroduction of species previously extinct in the UK. Our coastlines are a varied array of bays, headlands, islands and peninsulas, each with their own unique story from the geological history of the Jurassic coast to the traditional British seaside experience of fish and chips and end of the pier entertainment.

So if you're keen to learn more about our country's hidden history, want to get out and about in the countryside we're famous for, then this is the perfect choice for a break where you can enjoy the very best of what Britain has to offer.

Comprising of some of the most beautiful countryside in England, the West Country has plenty to offer visitors, including some of the most clement weather you can expect in the UK. You can visit both the most southerly point of the English mainland, the Lizard, and the most westerly point, Land’s End which is also famed as a starting point for journeys to John o’ Groats.

For those who want to immerse themselves in nature, there are the National Parks of Dartmoor and Exmoor, both steeped in legend and famed for their magnificent scenery and as havens for wildlife of all kinds. There are plenty of cultural events to enjoy in the West Country, most notably the Glastonbury festival which sees hordes of revellers descending on the town for a long weekend of music and cultural events. Stonehenge may be the most well-known attraction in the area, but you can also visit Woodhenge, which is also on Salisbury Plain, or the Knowlton Circles henge complex in Dorset.

Keen walkers can enjoy coastal paths, rugged moorland, lowland heaths and woodlands, riders can enjoy superb bridleways and woodland trails, and for those who prefer something less strenuous there are plenty of safaris and bus tours from which you can sit back and enjoy the ride. So visit the West Country for the time of your life and you won’t be disappointed.

Whilst Scotland is famous for kilts, cabers and whiskey, there are plenty of surprises to be found in the highlands. For instance, the mysterious Glamis Castle which has more than its fair share of spooky stories including missing rooms, a rarely seen monster (who may or may not be a vampire) and a seat in the chapel reserved for the ‘Grey Lady’.

If that’s enough to drive you to drink then you can visit one of the hundreds of distilleries and sample some of the whiskies that Scotland is famous for, and the Spirit of Speyside Whisky festival is the perfect excuse to ‘taste’ as many as you can handle.

Whilst you’re in the region you might be lucky enough to witness the Golden Spurtle Porridge making championships, but if you fancy something a little less specialist, there are more mainstream festivals: the Wicker Man festival in Kircudbright and particularly the Edinburgh festival have become world renowned and are a showcase for much of the new talent throughout the UK. Set against a backdrop of stunning scenery for which the whole country is famous, you’ll be on track for a perfect break wherever you choose to spend your Scottish break.

The Emerald Isle has always held an appeal for travellers the world over, and it’s hardly surprising – with breathtaking scenery, fascinating history and intriguing culture there is plenty to see and do. There are three world heritage sites on the island: the Bend of Boyne, Skellig Michael and the world famous Giant’s Causeway which has been enshrined in legend as a bridge between Ireland and Scotland.

There’s also Blarney Castle, a medieval stronghold near Cork and home of the fabled Blarney Stone where visitors can hang over a sheer drop to kiss the ‘Stone of Eloquence’ in the hope of gaining the gift of the gab. If you fancy a city break, you can visit Dublin where you can find the ever-popular Guinness Storehouse where you can trace the history of their iconic advertising campaigns, learn about the brewing process and, of course, taste the end product for yourself.

Or you could visit Belfast, and enjoy their award winning Botanic Gardens which include a tropical ravine, rose gardens as well as a well-packed events calendar from opera to pop concerts. So whether you want to enjoy the calm tranquillity of the countryside or the hustle and bustle of a city break, Ireland has plenty to offer any visitor to its shores.

Famous as the ‘land of song’, the cultural and historical heritage of Wales is evident almost everywhere, making for a fascinating weekend break destination. There are must-see areas, such as the unbelievably picturesque village of Portmerion which was designed to create the atmosphere of the Mediterranean in north Wales, and has been the setting for many television shows and films.

Although Rugby might be the national sport, Wales also has plenty of alternatives which you won’t find anywhere else, such as the national Bog Snorkelling championships during which competitors must take on a peat bog without using any traditional swimming strokes. If running is more your style, you could try the Man vs. Horse marathon, or for the even more enthusiastic you can race a train along the Talyllyn Steam Railway.

If all that’s not enough inspiration, you could spend a couple of days mastering the longest place name in Europe: Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch means "St. Mary's Church by the white aspen over the whirlpool and St. Tyllio's Church by the red cave" and has long been considered somewhat of a challenge to anyone wishing to immerse themselves in the Welsh language.
