About destinations
gettingaboutbritain.com is a completely new approach to
travel for the independent traveller. It journeys to hundreds
of locations across our islands, unwraps the process of travel
and invites the visitor to pick a way to ride the routes from
the choices we present in our pages.
Sample the ups and downs of the Lake District,
the melodious tones of a Welsh male voice choir, the pomp and
circumstance of a London parade, the caber tossing exertions of
Highland games or the tip-toeing navigation of Northern Ireland’s
Giant’s Causeway. Of course, there are the straightforward, A
to B trips too.
At its heart, gettingaboutbritain.com number-crunches
its way through costs and frequencies of bus, train,
‘plane and ferry services opening up a rich seam
of things to do and places to go around the UK.
