If you didn’t know that the “Great” in Great Britain was strictly a geographical term (it refers to the largest island – containing England, Scotland and Wales – of the British Isles), you’d be tempted to give Britain the accolade anyway. From dynamic London to misty Scottish mountains, there’s enough to see and do here to swallow up months of travel.
There's just as much choice when it comes to choosing a place to stay, from chic boutique hotels to crumbling castles and converted mansions. And whatever takes your fancy, our indefatigable authors are always on the lookout for the best. From the Rough Guide to Great Britain, here are 20 of their favourites.
