For over 20 years, the Britain Express family have toured England, Scotland, and Wales, visiting historic sites, taking thousands of photographs, and sharing our passion for Britain with the world. We love exploring the UK, and hope that whether you're a Brit or a tourist, you'll take every chance to discover British history and landscape for yourself, and enjoy the wonderful heritage that awaits in every corner of this wonderful country.

Most of our family travelling is done via stays in self catering cottages, where we can unwind and tour one area in-depth for a week or even 2 at a time.

Craigmalloch, Strathclyde, Scotland
Loch Doon Castle may be the only transplanted historic site in Britain. This intriguing 13th-century fortification consists of an 11-sided curtain wall of great height. The entire castle used to stand on an island in the middle of Loch Doon, but it was disassembled and moved to its current location on the west shore of the loch when a hydro-electric project in the 1930s threatened to submerge its island home.
