If Europe’s our backyard, then the UK’s our doorstep!

More and more of us are discovering what the UK and Ireland have to offer. It’s a piece of cake now. There’s no need to sit in a traffic jam for a million hours to reach the coast, you can jet south to Newquay, or hop from city to city.

Which is great news, because so many of us are all over the place! We’ve got old school friends down south, family in Ireland, ex-colleagues left, right and centre… and that’s just the people we’ve got to visit, let alone all the wonderful places that we want to see! So let’s stop relying on the phone and emails, let’s stop using the long journey as an excuse, and let’s get there.

Fly into Knock giving easy access to the West Coast of Ireland with its stunning landscapes and, of course, seafood and general craic. Likewise with Northern Ireland, plus there’s Belfast to explore.

Jersey’s a fantastic place to take the family. St Helier’s Victorian central market is perfect for soaking up the not-quite-English, not-quite-French culture that’s so unique to this little island.

Edinburgh has festivals to rival anywhere in the world and of course, Glasgow is a city with an extraordinary Arts’ scene.

Cardiff is famous for its wonderful rugby stadium, which also plays host to some of the biggest music acts. It’s also home to some castles and Victorian shopping arcades, for those not wanting to catch a game or concert.
