Inside Edinburgh Castle, you’ll see the Stone of Destiny, the sandstone seat beneath generations of Scottish monarchs at their coronations. In the Lake District, you gaze out at mountains rising above long stretches of water and green valleys, the same landscape that stirred William Wordsworth to put pen to paper. At Stonehenge, you wander among great prehistoric stones that have stood for thousands of years, close enough to notice their rough, weathered surfaces. In Plymouth, you’ll sail across its historic harbour with the Royal Citadel above the shoreline. And deep in the English countryside, you’ll dine at a historic mill on organic seasonal produce, freshly picked from the surrounding fields.
