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.

Dorset, England
Poole is the largest urban conurbation in Dorset, yet the area close to the harbour is crammed with well-preserved period buildings, including Town Cellars, a collection of 15th-century warehouses. There is a lifeboat museum and an 18th-century Guildhall. In the harbour is Brownsea Island, the birthplace of the Scouting movement. Poole developed as a fishing port in the 13th century, but now most of the shipping is pleasure craft or commercial shipping.
