A crowning achievement
At one time the most powerful empire in the world and home to more cultural icons than you can count, the UK packs a lot of everything into its 241,000 sq km (151,372 sq mi) of land. The collected wonders of England, Scotland, Northern Ireland, and Wales are many and varied, so if you're into rolling hills, football, haggis, the Giant's Causeway, castles, cricket, the Scottish Highlands, Harry Potter, the world's best whiskey, and just about anything else, welcome.
