England, Wales & Scotland

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

England, Wales, and Scotland together form Great Britain, a diverse island nation packed with history, dramatic landscapes, and vibrant city life. England draws visitors to iconic landmarks like Stonehenge, the Lake District, and the bustling streets of London; Wales is celebrated for its rugged Snowdonia mountains, medieval castles, and Welsh-speaking culture; while Scotland captivates with the Scottish Highlands, Loch Ness, and the world-famous Edinburgh Festival. From coastal walks and whisky distillery trails to world-class museums and storied football rivalries, the three nations offer an exceptionally varied experience for independent and group travellers alike.

Highlights of Britain — Self-Launched: London to Edinburgh by Rail & Bus

A self-launched version of Back-Roads Touring's 11-day "Highlights of Britain" small-group tour, rebuilt for a solo traveller using trains, coaches and local buses instead of a private minibus and tour leader. You'll hit the same places — Oxford, the Cotswolds, Worcester, Ironbridge, Snowdonia, Liverpool, York, Castle Howard, the Lake District, Hadrian's Wall country and Rosslyn Chapel — but you book your own hostel/budget-hotel beds, self-guided walking routes and public transport tickets. Expect charming market towns, cathedral cities, national parks and a lot of very good pub food. Costs below are rough backpacker/budget-traveller estimates in GBP (accommodation £25–50, food £20–35, transport £15–25 per day in Western Europe) and assume shared hostel dorms or simple guesthouses, with the odd budget hotel in the Cotswolds and Lake District where prices spike. Book trains 4–8 weeks ahead (split-ticketing sites help a lot) and use a railcard if eligible — UK tickets drop dramatically with advance purchase.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for England, Wales & Scotland yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Learn the first 20 seconds of a local dance, then perform it, uninvited, at every bar you visit."
