Though having a rough time these days at least in part thanks to Brexit, Britain is still a treasure trove of travel treats, from capital London out into England and Cornwall to Wales and Scotland. And across to Northern Ireland, too, of course!

In fact, it´s part of a UNESCO World Heritage national park, and here the landscape is closely intertwined with literature, especially that of the "Lake Poets" of the first half of the 19th century such as Samuel Taylor Coleridge,…

I'm new in Tripatini. Michael Schuermann, author of guide book Paris Movie Walks and now blogging about easy hiking (an activity you can undertake with the family on your next hols anywhere in the UK perhaps). I blog mostly about my hikes, which are mainly in Germany (my fatherland). My first hike however was in the UK, in the Peak District. I've heard a lot about hiking in the Lake District. If anyone of you love hiking and has done a hike or two anywhere in the UK, I would love to hear from you and perhaps you can do a blog post for me. Check out what easy hiking is about: http://easy-hiker.eu/2010/07/16/what-is-not-easy-hiking/ Don't be strangers...

Thanks much!!
Jools. Excellent suggestions, especially based on the fact that they are free. Right next to the Natural History Museum (around the corner) is the Science Museum. Lots of hands on stuff for the kids. What's good for kids in Edinburgh?
In York there are some great things for kids. The National Rail Museum, the Jorvik Viking Museum and the Castle museum. I always recommend people get away from London for a day or two if they can and York is great for families and easy to get to.
