United Kingdom Travel Guide: 104,043 reviews and 202,790 photos

England is where I was born, but we left when I was young, so I try to get back there quite often to discover the country and visit with my relatives.
I've been lucky enough to travel to all different areas of the UK, from north to south to east and west, but there is still so much of the country that I want to see and I never seem to fit it all in with every trip.
In 2000 I dated a Scottish guy that I met on the Isle of Mull in Scotland, he lives in Argyll, and was able to experience Scotland like a local. I came to love the west coast of Scotland, it's so beautiful. But I love all of the UK, especially Cornwall, the place of my birth.

I'll be adding to this page a lot as I keep returning for visits to this wonderful place :)

I'm now hoping to find a job in England so I can move back :-)

Pros and Cons

Pros:The countryside, the ancient ruins, the beer ;-)
Cons:It's so far from Canada :-(
In a nutshell:Find me a good job and I'm back there! ;-)

Cornwall is nice - i think i could live in Cornwall. The beauty of Cornwall - esp if on the coast is very mild temperatures all through Winter with the Gulf Stream - Scotland is very nice - but weather more like Canada in Winter. I live inbetween

Unique pages on UK. You have covered a variety of places, lots of off the beaten path, which I like. Your style is easy to follow and your photographs enhance your words. Thanks so much.

Like you, I keep going back to this beautiful country. Great page! Next year I'll do my best to finally see Cornwall (and the Yorkshire coast, and Scotland and......)
