Introduction to Great Britain

Visitors to Britain, especially from larger countries, are often amazed at the diverse nature of the UK in relation to its relatively small size. Its landscape, architecture and unique atmosphere can often vary dramatically within just a short distance when travelling around. Due to the nature of the countryside many of these variations pop-up suddenly to surprise you as you turn a corner or crest a hill. Some of the most remote isolated moors, hill ranges and national parks are in fact very close to vibrant towns and cities and many large conurbations contain vast expanses of greenery and parklands.

Britain is well worth exploring and the pictures and information on this site will hopefully provide you with the incentive and inspiration to 'travel about Britain' (either on wheels or on foot) and enjoy this green and pleasant land.
