Britain Travel
Find Your Great Britain
Britain bursts with experiences as endless as its infinite coastlines. Cool cities, or inspiring countryside. Cultural icons and hidden gems. Tasty curries and traditional pub fare. Railway adventures leading you to unexpected delights. The proverbial hop across the pond is always a good idea. Where will travel to Britain take you?
When to go to Britain
Our favourite time to visit the UK is the spring. In April to June, famous English country gardens are in bloom, many Scottish guided tours begin, prices are lower and crowds fewer than the high tourist season.
Weather in Britain is at its finest during July and August. This also means peak tourist season, with higher hotel prices and denser crowds. Winter is the low season, with a spike in mid-December to early January due to Christmas and New Year. The winter season, while never too cold or snowy for Canadians, is full of light and cheer with a collection of holiday festivals and markets to experience throughout Britain.
