Make a wish at the Giants Ironing Stone
In Kylemore Abbey, Irish legend has it that giants had a battle against one another. An iron-shaped rock used in the fight juts out in the estate and is now a wishing stone. If people stand with their backs against the stone and make a wish, and throw a small pebble over the stone three times, that wish will be granted. A three-day West Coast Explorer tour costs ?309, with departures from Dublin.
Visit Queen Victoria?s favourite holiday home
Queen Victoria's palatial holiday home, Osborne House, on the Isle of Wight is another places worth visiting. Visit Victoria and Albert's private apartments, their bathing beach and children's play-cottage for an intimate glimpse of the royal family life. The three-day Isle of Wight and the Southern Coast tour starts at ?195
Travel to the ?town of books?
Wales? Hay-on-Wye is a town where there are books in the castle, shelves, on the streets and in little boutique bookstores. In total, Hay-on-Wye has now more than twenty bookstores. Prices for a five-day Discover Wales tour starts from ?289, with departures from London.
Feed Britain?s only free-ranging reindeer
There are currently around 150 reindeers in the herd on the Cairngorm Mountains. Travellers can come close to these animals while enjoying a local Speyside Whisky. Interestingly, reindeers don?t melt the snow they lie on, because of their big warm winter coats. Join a Loch Ness, Inverness and the Highlands tour at ?95 with departures from Edinburgh.
Soak up cinematic views in the Roman Baths
The Avebury Neolithic Standing Stones are bigger than Stonehenge, reveals a trip through West England. It is like stepping back in time, first to the Druid era, then to Bath where Georgian architecture effortlessly blends with ancient Roman artefacts.
