After a two day visit to many of London's most enthralling sites including the Eye and the Houses of Parliament, travellers leave England for the mystical country of Wales. Visit Cardiff, "Europe's Youngest Capital". Take a day trip to the breathtakingly beautiful Wye Valley and discover just why Wordsworth found it so captivating. Travel to York, often regarded as the most haunting city in Britian, - if not the world - and marvel at its marvelous gothic architecture. The trip then heads north of Hadrian's Wall to Edinburgh, Scotland, one of the most charming cities in the world. Venture west to Glasgow, Scotland's cultural hub, and explore chic shops and nightlife between historic marvels. Head back to London for the final two days of the journey. Say cheerio the proper way with an evening stroll in Hyde Park.
