To Visit In The UK

EXPLORE TO UNITED KINGDOMS 

I spent the last few years exploring 

the united kingdom 

and i want to show you my favorite 

places so here's my uk 

top 10. united kingdom is made up of the 

countries of 

england wells northern ireland and 

scotland 

if you want to go back in time and feel 

like you're in a fairy tale or a harry 

potter film the uk 

is the place for you it's easy to see 

why so many myths and legends were born 

here 

it's one of the world's most enchanting 

places all right so for our first 

location we're gonna go visit possibly 

the most iconic city 

in the world london i've traveled more 

to london than any other international 

destination i have to say it's my 

favorite city in the world and i jus 

keep coming back 

everything from the double decker buses 

to the energy of piccadilly circus 

makes the city feel so alive there's 

just so many places to see 

you can check out the iconic big bend 

and walk across the ridge to see the 

palace of westminster 

there's the tower bridge which is 

possibly the most famous bridge in all 

of london 

you can go see the stoic guards at 

buckingham palace or take a ride on the 

london eye if you haven't already been 

in london i'd highly recommend visiting 

when you can it's hard to beat the 

london atmosphere there's no city like 

it in the world 

all right so after exploring london 

we're gonna make the two hour drive 

over to stonehenge located in wiltshire 

england 

lies one of the most famous man-made 

rock structures in the world there's a 

lot of mystery surrounding stonehenge 

like what was its purpose and how was it 

made archaeologists believe it was 

constructed 

back between 3000 to 2000 bc stonehenge 

consists of a ring of rocks each 

being around 13 feet high and weighing 

nearly 25 tons 

each it's unclear what the exact purpose 

of stonehenge was 

it's believed that it was used as an 

astronomical observatory 

or religious site either way it sure 

makes you stop and think how people 

thousands of years ago were able to 

construct this all right so after 

stonehenge we're gonna head on over to 

the jurassic coast 

while you won't find any dinosaurs here 

you might find some fossils on the beach 

the jurassic coast is england's only 

natural world heritage site and it's 

become 

popular with its white cliffs and 

picturesque beaches that are full of 

fossils formed over 65 million years ago 

one of the most famous spots on the 

jurassic coast is dirty door 

it's this limestone arch that goes 

straight into the ocean there's a great 

beach there and i just can't think of a 

better place to spend during the hot 

english summers 

one of my favorite spots on the jurassic 

coast is old harry's rocks 

now special thanks to my friend david 

rule for providing this footage he has 

an awesome instagram and youtube that'll 

provide in the description below i 

remember the first time i saw his 

picture of this place and i was just 

baffled by the scenery there the old 

hairy rocks are these sea stacks that 

are made completely 

out of chalk that mark the end of the 

jurassic coast in world war ii the 

stacks were used as target practice for 

pilots 

so that's kind of crazy i just lov the 

combination of the green meadows with 

the white cliffs and the blue ocean i 

mean it's just hard to beat that scenery 

all right so after the jurassic coast 

we're ahead 

up north to visit the country of wells 

now wells 

is located in the southwest part of 

great britain it's famous for its 

mountainous national parks 

picturesque coastline and distinct welsh 

language 

one of the most scenic places in wells 

is the snowdonia national park it's a 

region in northwest 

wells that is known for its mountains 

and lakes the highest peak in wells 

mount snowdon is located in the park 

with an elevation of 1085 meters 

you can hike on up there or you can take 

the snowdon mountain railway to the top 

if you're lucky you might be able to see 

ireland across the sea 

alright so after wells we're ahead to 

the island man 

now located in the irish sea right 

between england and ireland 

lies a rugged island known for its rural 

landscapes and medieval castles while 

it's technically 

not part of the united kingdom it has 

status of crown dependency 

and the uk is responsible for its 

defense and external relations the iowa 

man has had an interesting history 

humans have lived on it since 6 500 bc 

and in the 19th century it was ruled by 

norway but in 1266 the island became 

part of scotland and now it is 

self-governing isle 

a interesting place on the island man is 

peel castle 

it was constructed by vikings in the 

11th century street and just sits right 

on the ocean 

and it's a pretty cool castle if you ask 

me alright so after the isle man we're 

gonna head across the sea 

to visit northern ireland now ireland is 

full of just beautiful scenery 

dramatic coastal cliffs and countless 

castles back in 1921 

ireland was split into northern and 

southern ireland as a result of the 

government of ireland act of 1920. 

while southern ireland became a free 

irish state northern ireland remained 

within the united kingdom 

the capital of northern ireland is the 

city of belfast 

which is the birthplace of the titanic 

ship one of the most 

iconic places in northern ireland is the 

dark hedges 

columns 

at the giant's causeway and there's just 

so much history and beauty in ireland 

it makes me want to go there and explore 

all right so for our next location we're 

gonna head to scotland to visit the isle 

of skye this is probably 

my all-time favorite place in the uk you 

literally feel like you're in a fairy 

tale when you visit there i was lucky 

enough to go to the isle sky last summer 

and it's about a five hour drive from 

edinburgh 

one of the most impressive places in the 

isle of skye is the old man of store 

it's one of my all-time favorite rock 

formations i felt like i was on the set 

of game of thrones when i was there now 

to get to the old mana store it's about 

a four kilometer hike you walk through 

some conservation gates and you'll reach 

the famous 

rock pinnacles i went for sunrise and 

sunset and both occasions were 

breathtaking when i was there there was 

just like crows flying around the rock 

and 

there was some sheep running around i 

mean it was just a magical place 

so the legend of the old mana store is 

supposedly a giant lived there 

a long time ago and when he was buried 

his thumb was left sticking 

out of the ground when you go there it's 

easy to see why it's one of the world's 

most iconic rock formations 

it's one of my all-time favorite places 

and i recommend everyone to see at least 

once in their life 

just a few minutes away from the old 

mana store there is a breathtaking 

waterfall called me out falls 

that cascades down at the ocean there's 

a nice viewpoint where you can look at 

the waterfall the surrounding sea cliffs 

in the area are also stunning 

one of the most famous is kilt rock 

which are right by miele falls i mean 

it's just such a cool area there aren't 

many waterfalls that fall straight into 

the ocean 

if you're looking to find some fairies 

you may want to check out the fairy 

pools 

there are these pige blue pools that lie 

at the base of the black 

colons when i was there there were so 

many midges i didn't dare get close to 

water so make sure you bring some bug 

spray if you want to do a beautiful hike 

i'd also recommend 

visiting the korang it's one of the most 

beautiful areas in the aisle sky you 

feel like you're walking on a giant golf 

course 

i found this crazy vantage point to get 

a good 360 view of the whole area all 

right so after the isle of skye we're 

going to head over to the nearby 

eileen donahan castle if you're driving 

to the isle of skye you will drive right 

by this 

it's one of my favorite castles in the 

uk situated on a small tidal island 

at the point where the three great sea 

locks meet the castle was built in the 

13th century i'm so mad at myself 

i didn't visit the castle when i was 

there i wasn't able to check it out 

that's one of my biggest regrets of when 

i visit the uk 

so don't make the same mistake i made 

all right so after 

castle we're gonna head over to one of 

scotland's most iconic locations 

the glen finan vieta is located at the 

top 

of loch shield in the west highlands of 

scotland it was completed around 1898 

this may look familiar because it was 

featured in the harry potter films when 

i was there i wanted to get close to the 

bridge so i walked underneath it i was 

just shook by how big it actually was 

after i hiked to the top to get a good 

vantage point so i could see the famous 

train go across the via duck just really 

reminds you of those harry potter movies 

all right so after glen finan 

we're gonna head over to edinburgh now 

if you want to go back in time 

edinburgh is a must it's where jk 

rowling wrote her harry potter novels 

when i started traveling this was one of 

the first cities i visited 

it's a medieval old town with intricate 

neoclassical buildings 

cobblestone streets and beautiful 

gardens the iconic edinburgh castle 

overlooks the city and is home to 

scotland's crown jewels when i was there 

i didn't go into the castle because i 

was being too cheap but one of my 

favorite places was calton hill 

it offers a beautiful view of the whole 

entire city while we're still in 

edinburgh we're going to head over to 

arthur's seat now arthur c 

is located in holy rod park and it's a 

short walk from edinburgh center 

arthur's seat is an extinct volcano with 

an elevation of 823 feet 

when i was there i wanted to get as high 

as i could so i could see all of 

edinburgh 

i made a hike up and i reached the top 

it was just so windy when i was there 

nearly blew me over after i hiked to the 

top i had a good time just hiking around 

holy red park and enjoying the views of 

one of uk's most iconic cities 

all right well that is it for my united 

kingdom top 10. the uk is just such a 

unique region in the world and i hope 

all can witness its beauty 

in history.
