Luxury Vacations in the UK
VIEW JOURNEYS
Historic honey-hued towns and quaint medieval villages, biodiverse botanic gardens and landscapes more dramatic than Act 2 of Shakespeare’s Macbeth. Enchanted forests, ancient sites steeped in folklore; castles and characters seemingly lifted straight from a storybook. From the Scottish Highlands and the Lake District to Wales’s wild west coast and the Sussex Downs, the United Kingdom’s cinematic scenery has played muse to centuries of poets, painters, writers and raconteurs.
Now, a new generation of tastemakers are turning their creative energy to artisanal wine and spirits, cultural and food-focused festivals. Tour the regal Roman thermae in Bath, skip the queue at London’s top tables: the UK can seem like one big country club – not only do we have the keys, but we’ve also booked out the padel courts, secured the cellar’s finest single malt, scheduled afternoon tea on the lawn and stocked the library with first-edition Austen, Dickens, Woolf.
