Holiday in UK for 3 weeks – Events Around Britain

Exciting UK Trip for 4 Weeks!

Hello everyone! I’m heading to the UK (London) this August for my very first trip, and I’ll be staying with a friend for four weeks. Traveling all the way from New Zealand, I’m looking forward to spending quality time with family as well.

Here’s what I have planned so far:

7 days exploring London
A day trip to Oxford
A 3-day adventure in Edinburgh
A day trip to Stonehenge
A day in York
A 2-day excursion to Bath and the Lake District

I love walking and hiking, so I’m eager to incorporate that into my travels. If you have any recommendations or think I’ve missed anything essential, I’d love to hear your suggestions!
