4 Must See villages in the UK

Step into the 17th century in Culross

Culross (pronounced kooriss) is renowned as the very best example of a 17th-century burgh still remaining in Scotland, but in more recent years it has taken on a new life as the fictional village of Cranesmuir in the TV series Outlander.

Discover the secrets of Robin Hood’s Bay

Bursting with rich history ingrained in every cobblestone, this picturesque Yorkshire village is set in a sheltered bay surrounded by dramatic cliffs… but strangely was never visited by Nottingham’s own Robin Hood himself! Visit and embrace the village’s quaint cottages and a bay full of smugglers’ secrets.

Experience a real life fairy tale in Castle Combe

Life slows down in the Cotswolds. Trickling rivers flow under toy-town bridges, cottages line up on cobbled lanes, and rolling plains tumble into castles and manor houses. A walk through Castle Combe is like a walk over the pages of a storybook.

Explore the otherworldly Portmerion

Venture to one of the most charming and unique villages in Wales, Portmeirion. This town is the brainchild of Welsh architect Clough Williams-Ellis to demonstrate how a place could be transformed without spoiling its natural beauty. The result is a quirky piece of the Mediterranean transported into North Wales.
