The earliest recorded mention of the British Isles (IIles) appeared in the writings of ancient Greek sea-farers. These islands came to be known as Isles on in the 1500’s. The group of islands lie of the Northern coast of Europe and the largest among these is Great Britain. Besides, there is Ireland and Scotland apart from six thousand other smaller islands!
If you plan to explore the historic islands you should plan a month long vacation. Of course you won’t be able to see everything but will at least get a glimpse of these amazing and fantastic regions.
We suggested you opt for tour packages or escorted vacation tours. That way you’ll at least be able to see the most attractive parts of these exotic land masses.
British Isles tour generally includes visit to one or more of the following countries: England, Ireland (Irish Republic), Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales and can broadly be categorized into three different categories:
Family cruises, family villa vacations, family reunion specials, family wedding and honeymoon coordination and family adventure travel too, all in the homely ambience and comfort of family vacation homes.
Some must see places included in the itinerary of most British Isles Vacation packages are
Stonehenge: a massive structure made of colossal stone columns that some believe to be 4,000 years old.
Ancient ruins on the Isle of Iona
Medieval castles, each of which narrate a silent story of the turbulent past of the land while overlooking the rolling hills or seated on islands in lakes, such as Leeds Castle in Kent, a popular attraction on Great Britain tours.
Jarlshof in the Shetland Islands is a major attraction. The spectacular pre-historic site was revealed when storms hit the low cliffs on the Southern tip in Shetland. This led to further excavations in the region. Archaeologists discovered A Bronze Smithy, an Iron Village, Norse Longhouse and a Medieval farmstead among other interesting sites.
A trip to the coastal villages of Cornwall and Ireland are an absolute must!
