1. Marvel at the standing stones of Stonehenge

   No trip to the UK is complete without seeing Stonehenge in Wiltshire, England. The origins of this megalithic monument still puzzle scientists. Set on open chalk downland, the great stone circle is especially atmospheric in the soft light of early morning or late afternoon. Make time for nearby Salisbury too, a handsome medieval city home to one of the most famous cathedrals in the country.

2. Search for monsters at Loch Ness

   Countless theories, films and stories surround Loch Ness and its legendary resident. It's one of the most popular attractions in the Scottish Highlands, with travellers flocking both for the legend and the scenery: a vast stretch of dark water reaching towards the horizon between imposing hills and mountains. Stop at Urquhart Castle on the shore for a classic view, or take a boat trip out onto the loch for a different perspective on this famous corner of Scotland.

3. Spot wild ponies in the Brecon Beacons

   One of the most visited natural spots in the country, the Brecon Beacons in South Wales are best known for the wild ponies that graze peacefully across the open hillsides. Beyond pony-spotting, the park is a paradise for the outdoors, with camping, hiking, biking, canoeing and even fishing all on offer.

4. Discover the legends behind Giant's Causeway

   No rural holiday in Northern Ireland would be complete without a visit to Giant's Causeway, one of the UK's most remarkable natural wonders. Legends say that the enormous honeycomb-shaped rocks were placed by feuding giants; scientists have a more prosaic explanation, but it's still an incredible sight.

5. Ride the waves in Cornwall

   The south-west corner of England has remarkably good surfing, with gentle waves for beginners and more advanced swells for experienced boarders. Newcomers to the sport can head to Newquay, while serious surfers will love Porthleven.

6. Play a round at St Andrews

   The Scots have long claimed to have invented golf, so it is no surprise that one of the world's most famous courses sits in the town of St Andrews, Scotland. Securing a tee time on the Old Course can be tricky given its status, but the facilities are well worth a visit in their own right. Stop by the British Golf Museum nearby to trace the history of the game.

7. Hit the slopes with the Lake District Ski Club

   Founded in 1936, the Lake District Ski Club runs up to nine ski runs high in the fells of Cumbria. On a good day of snow it makes for a surprising and very British day on the slopes, far from the usual Alpine crowds. When you have had your fill of skiing, you can warm up in the cosy huts with a hot drink in hand.
