United Kingdom Town & City Reviews
• A WorldWeb.com Travel Guide to Town & City Reviews in United Kingdom.
Edinburgh,
Scotland has long
been historically overshadowed by London,
England, but is certainly
equally worth a visit. While a much smaller city than London, Edinburgh more
than compensates for its lower status on the world stage, with its charm, intimacy,
less frenetic pace, incredible architecture and its delightful, soft-spoken
citizens.
Multi-cultural, multi-faceted and industrious, Glasgow is Scotland's largest city, with the population of the city proper plus Greater Glasgow reaching over a million. It is only 72 km (45 mi) from Edinburgh, but sustains its own individual personality through its expressive, animated and endlessly entertaining people.
Obviously the history of London is long and complex, and largely runs concurrently with the history of much of the rest of England. The thing about London that impresses visitors from the new countries is that so much of the fabric of society, as well as buildings and places, are steeped in history.
London is a city unlike any
other. Nowhere can duplicate its unique character and atmosphere. Although there
may be other newer cities that are more modern and just as urbane in the English-speaking
world - New York City being a
prime example; London is a place that should be experienced if at all possible.
London is the keystone of England, and to most English speakers it is, in a way,
home. That is not to say that London is exclusively for the English speaker, for
people the world over who are fortunate enough to be able to travel there, it
is an incredibly popular destination. In these days of globalization, London is
like a common denominator - its links with the rest of the world seem unlimited.
Northern Ireland is just as Irish as the Republic of Ireland - the other part of the wonderful and totally unique island. Any visit to Ireland inevitably provides one of the greatest travel experiences around.
The North of England is amazingly diverse. Considering its small overall area (compared to regions of the world’s larger countries), it is remarkable to any visitor how so many different types of landscape exist here. From rolling lush green fields and woodlands, to inspiring fells and peaks, and from picture perfect lakes to desolate but beautiful moors – the range is incredible.
On the unforgiving northern end of Ireland sits a solitary figure; A city that has endured the winds of time in the bed of a giant. There is a history in Belfast unlike any other, yet vaguely familiar to all. A turbulent past full of violence and triumphs has shaped this city into a compelling, inspiring place where memories live on and the effects of the past continue to play out.
