The United Kingdom is one of the most popular vacation destinations in the world. Spanning England, Scotland, and Northern Ireland, there are so many things to see and do.

Big Ben: This huge clock tower has been ticking at the north end of the Palace of Westminster in London since 1843 and is the third-largest free-standing clock tower in the world.

Stonehenge: A trip to visit these mysterious stones from the Neolithic and Bronze Age will have you in awe! The creativity and architectural skill needed to build these stone structures is a historical highlight.

Durham Cathedral: Cherished for its beautiful architectural details, this cathedral located in the city of Durham is the greatest Norman building in the United Kingdom.

Tuck into any of the UK’s famous baked, fried, grilled, or roasted delicacies and your taste buds will be begging for more!

Fish and Chips: This classic British fast-food dish that features battered fish fillets deep-fried to a golden brown, with crunchy fresh-cut chips. Best served wrapped in newspaper!

Shepherd’s Pie/Cottage Pie: Whether you prefer minced lamb or beef, you should try both versions of this savoury dish that includes hearty local vegetables and flaky pastry crust.

Steak and Kidney Pie: A blend of beef, kidney, fried onion, and gravy within a baked pastry makes the steak and kidney pie a beloved British dish.

While the United Kingdom is a favourite destination year-round, you may enjoy your trip more at specific times, depending on the weather, crowds, and what’s happening.

March, April, and May: If you love landscapes blooming with flowers, strolling through lush gardens and castle grounds, and don’t mind a bit of rain, you’ll definitely want to visit the UK during the spring when the weather is pleasantly mild.

September, October, and November: Autumn can be an ideal time to explore the UK countryside when trees change colours. There are also many local harvest festivals featuring food, drink, and lively music.

December, January, and February: While winter in the UK can be a tad damp and chilly, it’s a lovely time to explore galleries, museums, and theatres. (Bonus: there are fewer crowds!)

Packing for a UK trip? No matter what time of year you’re visiting, you should be prepared for a potential rainshower.

Layers: While the mornings might dawn warm and sunny, it could get chilly later in the day. Dressing in layers is a great idea, so you can easily adjust your outfit depending on the temperature.

Comfortable shoes: Whether you’re taking a brisk walking tour through a city, exploring the seaside, or tromping through the grounds of a historic castle, make sure you have a comfortable pair of walking shoes or boots. Bonus points if they’re waterproof!

Umbrella: Known as a “brolly” to locals, an umbrella is a must-have in the U.K. Pack a travel-sized one that you can slip into your tote bag whenever you head out, and you’ll be glad when it starts to sprinkle.
