Getting About Britain, endeavours to say it all. You'll find our pages packed with useful tips for travelling by train, 'plane, bus and ferry. And about the destinations themselves.

Getting About Britain started life as a how often, how fast, how much paper guide produced for the British Tourist Authority (now VisitBritain) for overseas visitors to the UK. Three years ago we took to cyber space.

To build on this body of knowledge, we'll be asking you to share your tips on UK travel trips with fellow readers. Mixed with our experiences, we'll be playing back the best bits. In the meantime here are a few starters...

The Original Tour

If you are planning a visit to the capital have you considered an open-top bus trip around the sights? Our partner's website The Original Tour, provides you with just that, plus you get London's Number One hop-on, hop-off red bus ride.

Brochurelink

Want to get the local low-down on the Causeway Coast, Cheltenham Spa, Essex or the Forest of Dean? Among a host of other UK destinations, they are but a click away at Brochurelink.

Playing to the galleries introduces you to our latest joiner on the site. We're inviting you to stroll through Britain's glorious museums and art galleries. The lofty halls we list are home to dazzling displays year-round. We shall progressively add to the list of players, their special show programmes, times and charges. Though it must be said that access to most of the main permanent gallery collections across Britain is, almost universally, free of charge. Only entry to the special visiting shows - though not all - levy a charge, and then usually at a modest rate. We look forward to your company and to the pleasure it gives us in assembling such riches for you.
