Check your luggage, bring your camera and let's go! Accompanied by Zaoxia, we left London and passed by Cambridge, the seat of Cambridge University, a famous British university. The strangely shaped mathematical bridge, King's College *, Trinity College, St. John's College, near the banks of the Kanghe River, are all key points you can't miss.
You can walk freely along the He Kang River and feel the emotional journey of Xu Zhimo's Farewell to Cambridge. After lunch, take a bus to the famous British ancient city of York, which has a history of 1900 years and is the epitome and witness of British history. Here, visit York Cathedral, the largest Gothic church in the northern Alps of Europe, and the ancient Roman wall that has been washed away for countless years. Wandering in the ancient capital with a long history, walk slowly and experience the leisure of vacation. Stay in our carefully selected hotel at night.
the next day
Manchester)-Windermere Lake)-Scotland
Wake up in the morning and have breakfast in the hotel. We set off for Manchester, the third largest city in Britain. First, we visited the exterior of Old Trafford Stadium, which is the home of Premier League powerhouse Manchester United. Don't forget to count on the ground in front of the stadium and find the signature of your favorite Manchester United star.
Then we came to the center of Manchester, visited the Gothic City Hall in Albert Square, and you can stroll to China Street in Manchester, where there are tall archways in Ming and Qing Dynasties, China restaurants and Chinese signboards everywhere ... Dear, you can instantly find the kindness of returning to your hometown!
Continue to move forward at noon, and in the afternoon, come to the lake area, which is known as one of the "50 must-see places in life". We will watch Windermere Lake, the largest and most beautiful lake in the lake area, stop by the lake to watch the royal swan swim leisurely, look up at the holy white pigeons flying around us, or take a walk by the lake to bask in the afternoon sunshine in Britain and enjoy the elegant life in Britain.
If you want to relive the fun of childhood, you can also look for the famous fairy tale paradise Peter Rabbit Fairy Tale Museum in the depths of the town. It's a good choice to go in and have a close hug with the famous Peter Rabbit!
In the evening, we reluctantly bid farewell to the lake area, and we went straight to Scotland to check into a hotel. There will be a more wonderful journey waiting for you tomorrow!
the third day
Edinburgh Full Day Tour (Edinburgh)-St. Andrews (optional: Scottish Cultural Depth Tour)
Today we will visit Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland. Edinburgh Castle is one of the most famous castles in Europe. It is the symbol and the highest point of the whole city. It symbolizes the majestic castle and has witnessed countless grievances and sorrows. Don't forget to take a walk in the castle, overlook the whole city, feel the noblest royal atmosphere and touch the things in the castle-Mungo cannon. Every year on New Year's Eve, several Mungo cannons in the castle will set off fireworks and welcome tourists from all over the world to celebrate the festival. The scene is quite spectacular.
To the east of the castle is the famous Royal Mile Avenue, which is the soul of Edinburgh's history and culture and a rare Scottish souvenir paradise. Authentic Scottish biscuits, whisky or distinctive plaid scarves are all good choices.
Parallel to the Royal Avenue is the famous Prince Street. If you are interested, you can also climb Carlton Hill at the end of Prince Street and overlook the whole Edinburgh with a colonnade full of Greek heritage. The sound of bagpipes comes with the wind, and a sense of vicissitudes is beyond words. After lunch, you can continue to stroll in the streets of Edinburgh, try to find the elephant cafe where Ms. Roman Rowling wrote the first Harry Potter and enjoy an elegant English afternoon tea.
Of course, you can also take part in the in-depth tour of Scottish culture at your own expense *: go to St. Andrews, the birthplace of golf in the world, and pass the Foss Railway Bridge, the oldest steel building in the world, which is a typical Scottish field scenery. There are the oldest golf courses, charming sea views, and the university town where the century fairy tale master Prince William and Princess Kate fell in love and made lifelong vows.
In the light orange afternoon sunshine, I strolled along the most beautiful seaside in beautiful Scotland. Sometimes I heard warm cheers shouting grand competitions, and sometimes I could hear whispers between lovers ... After the whole day's sightseeing, I returned to the hotel and tasted the solemnity and vitality of Edinburgh in a comfortable environment.
The fourth day
Scottish Highlands-Lomond Lake-Canyon-Fort William-Ben? Nevis Pass-Loch Ness
Today we will come to the end of the world, the Scottish Highlands. This is the last stronghold of the ice age and an elusive paradise resort. "On your beautiful lake and your beautiful hillside, the sun shines brightly on Lake Lomond, and my beloved girl and I have been reluctant to leave for a long time." Once upon a time, a knight sang this touching song and sent a call of love to his beloved girl by the lake, which brought us to the charming and quiet Lake Lomond.
Along the road to the north, we will see Buchaille Etive Mor, the main peak of Glencoe, which stands on the wasteland engraved with vicissitudes and ancient times, just like the pyramids in the Egyptian desert. The lingering clouds and lavender hyacinthus orientalis add a bit of serenity and elegance.
From the mountain pass to the north, pass the famous mountaineering base Williamsburg along the way and stop at a nearby rest stop or outdoor base. You can stroll along the path of the virgin forest, or take the highland cable car *, watch the unique lakes and mountains in the Scottish Highlands at a height of 360 degrees, and enjoy the extraordinary experience of walking through the valley.
Further north, we will soon reach the beautiful and mysterious Loch Ness, where it will not freeze all year round. The story of the water monster adds more mystery to the lake. You can stroll in the warm town at the source of Loch Ness, have a cup of coffee and have lunch. If you want to explore the scenery of Loch Ness and look for the footprints of the monster, then don't miss the Loch Ness adventure cruise ship *, and you should take care of your own tickets.
In the evening, we took a group photo at the foot of Ben Nevis, the highest peak in Scotland, and felt the perfect interpretation of the magnificent mountains and rivers. Then we left the Scottish Highlands, bid farewell to the beautiful natural wonders and went to the hotel.
Fifth day
Glasgow, a romantic wedding town on the Scottish border, is back to square one.
The last day has arrived. Before you leave Scotland, don't forget to visit Glasgow, Scotland's largest city, and feel its unique urban charm.
Glasgow, located on the Clyde River, is a "city of British architecture and design", a typical representative city of "european capital of culture" and "Scottish style", and also one of the football venues for the 20 12 London Olympic Games. Charles Renee Macintosh, a world-class artist, was born here, and his artistic achievements spread all over the city. The ancient Glasgow Academy of Fine Arts and the elegant and comfortable Willow Tea Room all have his masterpieces.
Located around George Square in the city center, the city hall and buildings are resplendent and refreshing, which has won the reputation of "open-air museum" for Glasgow, favored by many Hollywood blockbusters and accepted as location shooting. There are many statues of Scottish celebrities around the square, such as Jim Watt, who invented the steam engine, and Bonn, a famous Scottish poet. I look forward to taking a photo with you! Under the influence of such a strong literary atmosphere, it is better to have a cup of fragrant coffee and stroll through the magnificent buildings in Glasgow to find and taste the unique design achievements of world-class architects.
After a hearty tour, we "eloped" together to Gretna Green, an internationally famous escape town on the border between Scotland and England, to listen to the touching stories of hundreds of years, explore the indissoluble bond with the lovers here, knock on the door of the blacksmith's shop and ask it to testify for love again!
We must bid farewell to Scotland before sunset. Goodbye Scotland, let the highlands and bagpipes witness your footprints, and let the romantic experience become your eternal memory!
