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.

Lincolnshire, England
A village which owes its name to an old Norman castle, the earthwork ruins of which can be seen across the Glen Brook on the eastern edge of the village. The parish church of St James boasts a comical sundial with the punning inscription, 'Bee in Thyme'. Within the church is the village maypole, which was stored in the church and used as a ladder to reach the belfry!
