With Endless Vacation Rentals, you won't merely visit the United Kingdom, you will experience it firsthand - the beauty,
history and charm - roaming among the locals.
Instead of a hotel room, spread out in a carefully restored 17th century cottage, renovated oast house or former granary nestled
in the heart of the beautiful English countryside. Or make yourself at home in an elegant townhouse tucked away down a cobbled
lane in the heart of the Scottish capital of Edinburgh.
Your United Kingdom vacations "resort activity" may be an exploration of Shakespeare's Stratford-upon-Avon, salmon fishing
on the River Tay, sailing on the River Dart or a stroll down a scenic footpath in and around Smarden. You may choose to pass
the time swapping tall tales with newfound friends over a pint. Or you may choose to immerse yourself in the architecture
of the largest gothic cathedral in Northern Europe (York Minster).
Whatever your passion, your reward from an exciting day's activities will be a retreat to your one-of-a-kind accommodations,
stylishly appointed with all the comforts you'd expect in a home away from home.

 Eat...
See the UK, taste the world (Edinburgh). After a few days of sampling the local fare, you may crave a little variety. Enter
Scotland's capital city, a gastronomic melting pot where many countries and cultures are represented, including America, Bangladesh,
France, Hong Kong, India, Italy and Switzerland.
Bacon, eggs and seaweed (Wales). The seafood in Wales is outstanding, which is no surprise since the Welsh coast is lined
with oyster, mussel and scallop beds. But for a special treat, consider a breakfast with Wales' famous laverbread, made from
laver seaweed.
Make time for tea (York). Shopping and sightseeing in York requires stamina. Luckily for you there are many strategically
located tea rooms and coffee shops that specialize in afternoon pick-me-ups. For great sweets and ambiance, consider Betty's
Cafe Tea Rooms.
 Play...
Cheese Rolling (Gloucestershire). Every year, as they have for hundreds of years, young men and women throw themselves down
steep Cooper's Hill in hot pursuit of an eight-pound wheel of handmade Double Gloucester cheese. Held each May, it's all part
of the Spring Bank Holiday fun.
Play 18, or 36, or...(Wales). The British Open tends to favor Scotland and England, but Wales is home to more than 200 spectacular
courses of its own. Come see why the 2010 Ryder Cup will be held in this region renowned for its magnificent natural beauty.
 Explore...
Anne Hathaway's Cottage (Stratford-upon-Avon). Visit the childhood home of Shakespeare's wife. The cottage contains some rare
family furniture dating back to Anne's childhood, and the surrounding English cottage garden is a sight to behold. Hours vary
by season with last entry either 4 p.m. or 5 p.m.
Wordsworth's Lakes and Hills (Windermere, Lake District). Discover the daffodils and rugged scenery that led to much of Wordsworth's
poetry, and visit his home and workplace at Dove Cottage. You can also walk the same hills that inspired writers and artists
from Beatrix Potter to Samuel Coleridge.
York Minster. The largest Gothic cathedral north of the Alps is an architectural masterpiece accented with stained glass.
Explore the remains of previous buildings in the Undercroft, or take in the view from atop the tower. Open Monday through
Saturday from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from 12:30 p.m. to 5 p.m.
Cardiff Bay (Wales). The Wales Millennium Center for the arts is a cultural gem at the heart of this redeveloped area. Come
for the opera, ballet or stage musicals, or one of the bay's many fine restaurants.
 Shop...
