Itinerary
You’ll cross England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and Ireland, tracing a path through carved stone, castle walls and old city streets. Follow Edinburgh’s Royal Mile past narrow closes and weathered façades, then pass Dublin’s painted Georgian doors, each crowned with an elegant fanlight. In Waterford, you watch artisans cut crystal and hear the delicate ring of glass in their hands. Beyond the cities, the limestone hills and dry-stone walls of the Yorkshire Dales lead towards medieval cathedrals, ancient fortresses and castles fit for old Celtic tales. Across 10 days, each sound, texture and shared moment becomes part of a Britain and Ireland you’ll remember long after you return home.
day 1Explore London at Your Own Pace
Black cabs roll past as you step into London, following broad avenues towards gilded gates and grand faades. After checking in, you might pass Buckingham Palace, pause beneath the columns of one of London's great museums or spend an hour among ancient sculpture, painted manuscripts and objects gathered from across the world. Later, you could order your first pint in a neighbourhood pub, slide into a dark timber booth beneath the glow of brass lamps and toast the first evening of your travels through Britain and Ireland.
