This blog will provide information on all of the places that you can plan to visit if you are new to the United Kingdom. I spent the last few days researching places in the United Kingdom that outdoor adventurers and camping enthusiasts would like to visit. Some of the most highly rated and popular spots are listed below. Because the United Kingdom is made up of England, Wales, Northern Ireland, and Scotland, you will have many options for your next adventure, whether it is upland or lowland.

Even if you want to travel back in time and feel like you're in a fairy tale or a Harry Potter film, the United Kingdom is the travel destination. It is indeed easy to see why so many myths and legends were born here; it's one of the world's most enchanting places.

1.     London 

So, for our first location, we’re going to tell you about the world's most famous city, London. I am currently residing here, and of all the international destinations I have visited, London is by far the most vibrant. Just about anything, for example, from the double-decker buses to the energy of Piccadilly Circus makes the city feel alive, and there are so many places to visit. You can see the amazing big bend and walk from across the ridge to see the Palace of Westminster, there's the tower bridge, which is possibly the most famous bridge in all of London, you can see the stoic guards at Buckingham Palace, and if you haven't already, you can ride the London Eye. I’d highly recommend visiting when you can it's hard to beat the London atmosphere there's no city like it in the world. 

2.     Stonehenge, Wiltshire

After you've had your feel of London, let us take you on a two-hour drive to Stonehenge in Wiltshire, England. One of the most well-known man-made rock structures in the world can be found here. Stonehenge is shrouded in mystery; for example, what was its purpose and how was it built? Archaeologists believe it was built between 3000 and 2000 B.C.

Stonehenge is made up of a ring of rocks, each about 13 feet high and weighing nearly 25 tonnes. It's unclear what the exact purpose of Stonehenge was, but it's thought to have been used as an astronomical observatory or religious site. Either way, it's amazing to think about how people thousands of years ago were able to build something like this.

3.     Jurassic Coast, England

After Stonehenge, we'll head to the Jurassic Coast, where you might find some fossils on the beach if there aren't any dinosaurs. The Jurassic Coast is England's only natural world heritage site, and it's become popular for its white cliffs and picturesque beaches that are full of fossils formed over 65 million years ago. One of the most famous spots on the Jurassic coast is a dirty door, which is a limestone arch that goes straight into the ocean, there's a great beach there, and I can't think of a better place to spend the hot English summers. Old Harry's rocks is one of my favourite places on the Jurassic Coast. I remember seeing a picture of this place for the first time and being completely taken aback by the scenery there, these rocks and these sea stacks made entirely of chalk that marks the end of the Jurassic Coast. The stacks were used as target practice for pilots during World War II, which is an incredible fact, but the most amazing thing here is the combination of the green meadows with the white cliffs and the blue ocean. There are few places in the world that can compete with this scenery.

4.     Snowdonia, Wales.

 So, after the Jurassic coast, we're heading up north to visit Wales. Wells is located in the southwest part of Great Britain and is famous for its mountainous national parks’ picturesque coastline and the distinct Welsh language. One of the most scenic places in Wells is the Snowdonia national park, which is a region in northwest Wells known for its mountains and lakes. The highest peak in Wells is Mount Snowdon which can be conquered via walk/hike and if you are lucky, you can see Ireland from its peak.

5.     The Isle of Man

The Isle of Man is in the Irish Sea right between England and Ireland. This island is known for its rural landscapes and medieval castles. While it's technically not part of the UK it has the status of crown dependency and the UK is responsible for its defence and external relations. An interesting history of this island is that humans have lived on it since 6500 BC. It was ruled by Norway but in 1266 the island became part of Scotland and now it is a self-governing isle. One of the interesting places on the island is Peel Castle, which Vikings constructed in the 11th century. It sits right on the ocean and it's pretty cool.

6.     Northern Island

Northern Island now Ireland is full of just beautiful sceneries, dramatic coastal cliffs, and countless castles. Back in 1921 Ireland was split into Northern and Southern Ireland because of the Government of Ireland act of 1920. While Southern Ireland became a free Irish state Northern Ireland remained within the UK. The capital of Northern Ireland is the city of Belfast, which is the birthplace of the Titanic ship, one of the most iconic places in Northern Ireland. In one of the interesting places, there is a road lined with beech trees planted in the 18th century it was used as a filming location for The Game of Thrones. On the northern coast, you can check out the Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge or see the basalt columns at the giant's causeway.

7.     The Isle of Skye 

The Isle of Skye is about a five-hour drive from Edinburgh. One of the most impressive places in the Isle of Skye is The Old Man of Storr, tall rock formations. The Old Man of Storr is about a four-kilometre hike, needing you to walk through some conservation gates and you'll reach the famous rock pinnacles. Crows are flying around the rock and some sheep was running around. The legend of The Old Man of Storr says that it is supposedly a giant who lived there a long time ago and when he was buried his thumb was left sticking out of the ground. Just a few minutes away from The Old Man of Storr, a breath-taking waterfall cascades down at the ocean.

8.     Edinburgh, Scotland

If you want to go back in time Edinburgh is a must. It's where JK Rowling wrote her Harry Potter novels. It's a medieval old town with intricate neoclassical buildings cobblestone streets and beautiful gardens. The iconic Edinburgh castle overlooks the city and is home to Scotland's crown jewels. Calton Hill offers a beautiful view of the whole city. While we're still in Edinburg we're going to head over to Arthur's Seat which is located in Holyrood Park and it's a short walk from Edinburgh centre. Arthur's Seat is an extinct volcano with an elevation of 823 feet, you can get as high as you could so you could see all of Edinburgh. It is windy on top of the hill.
