The United Kingdom is made up of three distinct administrative areas (England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland) but the diversity in terms of geography and culture goes far beyond that. For nature lovers there are numerous areas to explore such as the Lake District, Peak District, Snowdonia national park, the moors of Devon, the fens of East Anglia and the sparsely populated countryside of northern Scotland. For culture lovers the UK has an enviable heritage that can not only be seen in the museums and galleries, but also in historic towns such as Oxford, Durham, and Edinburgh - amongst others.
