Discover the Best UK & Ireland Holiday Destinations with Thorne Travel

Skip the long-haul flights and dive into everything the UK and Ireland has to offer — all right on your doorstep. From the rugged cliffs of Northern Ireland to the storybook villages of the Cotswolds, this region is bursting with natural beauty, cultural treasures, and unforgettable experiences.

Whether you’re exploring hidden valleys in the Lake District, walking the dramatic coastal paths of Cornwall, or marvelling at the towering cliffs of Moher, the landscapes are as varied as they are breathtaking. Take a scenic rail journey aboard the Jacobite Steam Train, the Flying Scotsman or the elegant Northern Belle, and see the countryside in vintage style.

History lovers can wander through medieval castles, ancient ruins and stately homes. Foodies can savour the best of British and Irish cuisine — from fish and chips by the seaside to hearty haggis and neeps, artisan cheeses, and Michelin-starred tasting menus. And for families, the UK is packed with fun-filled attractions that guarantee excitement for all ages.

Spend a day at LEGOLAND® Windsor, get your thrills on world-class roller coasters at Alton Towers, or make magical memories at Warner Bros. Studio Tour – The Making of Harry Potter. Visit Chessington World of Adventures, Paultons Park (home to Peppa Pig World), or step back in time at Warwick Castle. Whether it’s dinosaurs, wizards, or waterparks, there’s no shortage of adventure.

Stay in everything from cosy countryside cottages and boutique hotels to castle lodges and city-centre apartments. With so much variety, UK and Ireland holidays are perfect for short breaks, school holidays, romantic escapes or long lazy summer adventures.

This is a destination where rich history, thrilling attractions, and natural beauty come together – without the jet lag.
