England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and Ireland. Five distinct countries, ready and waiting to be discovered. Globus’ Britain and Ireland in Depth holiday is one of our best-sellers so let’s dive into what makes this tour so special. With castles, coastal drives and Celtic traditions, it will certainly be an unforgettable experience.
The Castles
Britain and Ireland’s royal history is some of the most revered in the world. From the oldest castle in the world, Windsor Castle, to the ruins of Urquhart Castle on the banks of Loch Ness, this Globus tour showcases the big names as well as smaller gems. Each has their own story, intertwined into royal and medieval history. Your local guides will bring the ancient walls to life with tales that turn its stories into something tangible, not just dates on a page.
The Coastal Drives
There are few places that rival the coastal beauty of Britain and Ireland. With almost 100 years of curating tours, we’ve mapped out an excellent route with carefully considered stops to show each country’s scenery at their best. In Wales, drive through Snowdonia with its craggy peaks and peaceful valleys; take on the Wild Atlantic Way in Ireland with views of wild seas and rugged cliffs; and see the picture-perfect fishing villages and windswept beaches in Scotland.
The Celtic Traditions
We adore the Celtic traditions that come with the territory. Locals embrace the Celtic spirit with the beat of Scottish drums, a fiddle in an Irish pub or even the lyrical lilt of Welsh poetry. Globus has woven local culture into this tour, creating moments of genuine connection. From an Irish storytelling evening to whisky tasting in the Highlands, these traditions are truly grounded in local life.
