England & Scotland,
bath, the highlands, and four days of london.
The trick here is not starting in London. You land at Heathrow jet-lagged, get on one coach, and wake up in Bath — a small Georgian city — instead of fighting the Underground with luggage. The Cotswolds and Stonehenge follow, then north to Edinburgh for the castle city and a full day in the Highlands. London goes at the end, when you actually have the energy for it, and by then four days feels short.

“Everybody puts London first because the flight lands there. Put it last. You arrive tired and leave the hardest city for when you have your legs back.”

When to visit
Our pick — long days, the Highlands green, and before the school holidays
The other good window. Edinburgh has emptied after the August festival.
Warmest and busiest, and Edinburgh in August means the Fringe — brilliant, but book far ahead
Dark by four in Scotland. Workable for London alone, not for the Highlands.
Things to do in England & Scotland
The Cotswolds and Stonehenge
A full guided day from Bath — honey-stone villages, and the stone circle on Salisbury Plain.
Edinburgh by hop-on hop-off
The castle, the Royal Mile, Holyrood and Calton Hill without marching between them. Relaxed by design.
Loch Ness and Glencoe
A full day north into the Highlands. The drive through Glencoe is most of the point.
Windsor Castle
A half day out of London, paired with an evening at Borough Market — the best eating in the city.
Lord's Cricket Ground
The tour, the Long Room and the museum, with the Sherlock Holmes Museum on Baker Street the same day.
The Tower of London
The Crown Jewels and the Tower itself, then Tower Bridge, on the last full day.
