Top TRIPS by Culture Trip in the UK

Senior Travel Writer

Hit book and see a new side of the United Kingdom that’s older than all of the castles in the land.

Loved by over 40s

Everyone remembers their first visit to London, but it’s easy to forget that the United Kingdom is way more than its capital city. Scotland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland are four diverse faces of one stunning country. Trade a rail pass for a pair of hiking boots and explore the rugged cliffs, serene swimming holes and lesser-visited parts of the isles that put you face-to-face with unspoiled nature. These are the top TRIPS by Culture Trip showcasing the finest of the UK.

Britain’s Last Frontier: Exploring the Hebridean Isles

You’ve watched the sunrise over the Thames and the sunset in Snowdonia, so now it’s time to discover Britain’s last frontier: the Outer Hebrides. Get off the mainland and get the islands of northwest Scotland on your bucket list. The mystical Isle of Skye and its fantastical Fairy Pools are almost as magical as passing the Glenfinnan Viaduct, featured in the Harry Potter films. Jump on this week-long trip through the Hebridean Isles and get ready to see the sights with Scottish whisky in-hand.

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN A GUIDE?

2 years.

WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT YOUR JOB?

It's the personal contact, the personal experiences. I love meeting people from all over the world... I really like getting to know everyone and feeling like I'm traveling with a group of friends.

WHAT DESTINATION IS ON YOUR TRAVEL BUCKET-LIST?

I have so many places on my list, but I would really lobe to go to Africa. I consider myself an “adventure girl” and Africa feels like the ULTIMATE adventure!

Since you are here, we would like to share our vision for the future of travel - and the direction Culture Trip is moving in.

Culture Trip launched in 2011 with a simple yet passionate mission: to inspire people to go beyond their boundaries and experience what makes a place, its people and its culture special and meaningful — and this is still in our DNA today. We are proud that, for more than a decade, millions like you have trusted our award-winning recommendations by people who deeply understand what makes certain places and communities so special.

Increasingly we believe the world needs more meaningful, real-life connections between curious travellers keen to explore the world in a more responsible way. That is why we have intensively curated a collection of premium small-group trips as an invitation to meet and connect with new, like-minded people for once-in-a-lifetime experiences in three categories: Culture Trips, Rail Trips and Private Trips. Our Trips are suitable for both solo travelers, couples and friends who want to explore the world together.

Culture Trips are deeply immersive 5 to 16 days itineraries, that combine authentic local experiences, exciting activities and 4-5* accommodation to look forward to at the end of each day. Our Rail Trips are our most planet-friendly itineraries that invite you to take the scenic route, relax whilst getting under the skin of a destination. Our Private Trips are fully tailored itineraries, curated by our Travel Experts specifically for you, your friends or your family.

We know that many of you worry about the environmental impact of travel and are looking for ways of expanding horizons in ways that do minimal harm - and may even bring benefits.
