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. Get inspired - Explore Britain's Heritage!
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.

British Biography
Our look at the lives of famous people in art, architecture, science, and literature.
Hamilton, Strathclyde, Scotland
Cadzow Castle stands above Avon Water, overlooking Chatelherault Country Park, a remnant of a medieval hunting park. The castle dates to the 12th century, though it stands on a site probably used as a hunting lodge by the kings of Strathclyde centuries earlier. Cadzow was an occasional royal residence for kings going as far back as David I (1124 - 1153).
