Liverpool
Liverpool has had a bit of a makeover in recent years. The maritime city, which was once synonymous with crime and shell-suits, is now bursting with life. The events are extraordinary, the festivals are legendary and the scenery is simply beautiful.
When it comes to fashion, movie productions, things to do and places to see, Liverpool is the place to be. There are more shops than you can shake a stick at. The restaurants demand to be experienced, and the bars are some of the coolest in the country. With an exciting nightlife, show-stopping theatre scene and fantastic cultural events, you will never want to leave the city that’s growing day after day.

Bodmin Moor
Bodmin Moor in Cornwall offers everything from beautiful landscapes, ancient building, medieval farms and a wide wooded river valley. Just like Liverpool, Bodmin Moor also has World Heritage Site status, as it recognises the location’s tin mining industry 4,000 years ago.
When you visit Bodmin Moor, you can journey across 150 square miles, taking in the wild landscape of Corwall. We also recommend heading on up to Brown Willy or Rough Tor to take in the view from the two highest peaks in Cornwall, which will certainly take your breath away.

From the Queen’s official residence of the Palace of Holyrood House to the famous Edinburgh Castle, you will need more than a week – or even a year – to tick everything off your bucket list. One of the best times to visit the city has to be in August when the Edinburgh Festival takes place, welcoming performances from famous and small-time comedians, theatre productions and street performers.
