The island of Great Britain is possibly the most extraordinarily diverse island on Earth. Home to three unique countries, a breathtakingly rich history and vast array of cultures, it could keep visitors happily travelling for years. Add Northern Ireland to the mix and you’ve got the United Kingdom. England holds a special place in the hearts of many Kiwis. Many of us can trace our roots back to cities, villages and even far-flung farms from craggy Cornwall to the wild Yorkshire moors. Few countries can offer such a concentration of perfect villages, idyllic rural scenery, historical sites and mind-boggling stately homes in such a small area.
That’s the England of our imagination but there’s another side to this dynamic country. Cities such as Manchester and Liverpool now pulse to the beat of the 21st century. Urban England is a melting pot of cultures which has created an immensely exciting world of cuisine, entertainment and street life. Cross the border into Wales and you will enter an ancient kingdom rich in folklore and national pride, where choirs really do still sing in the valleys and rugby is a passion. The Scottish too are fervently proud of their culture, their heather-clad glens and mysterious lochs. In these faraway corners of Britain you may still hear Gaelic and Welsh spoken, a true indication that you have come a long way from the cosmopolitan south. Northern Ireland’s slow paced rural lifestyle will relax you, whilst Belfast’s trendy and fast paced city living will delight you.
