If you need help planning your visit to the UK, you’ve come to the right place.
In this section you’ll find plenty of information, including tips on travelling around the UK, as well as everything else you might need to know.
To help you make the most of your time in the UK, we can point you in the direction of maps, guides, information centres, the weather information, tide times and more.
The weather in the UK is very changeable and it might be snowing in Scotland and gorgeously warm and sunny in Brighton. Because of this, we advise checking the weather for your destination, just so you know what to expect and what to pack! As the weather can go from hot to cold from wet to dry and everything in between seemingly without warning, as those of you already living in the UK will know, we suggest that visitors from overseas use the layers approach, so they can add or remove them depending on what the weather chooses to do during your stay.
To check the weather for the area of the UK you are planning to visit, please visit the Met Office website and enter the town, city or postcode if you know it. The website is made with your accessibility in mind and there are several different options to make accessing the information easier.
Everywhere you visit in the UK will have a tourist information centre of some kind, in larger cities, there will be several depending on whereabouts you are, while in smaller towns, these could be run by the council and you’ll need to find the appropriate building to access these services. These centres are run by people who are experts in the local area and are always happy to help you get the most of your visit.
Feel free to pop in for friendly, reliable advice on just about anything from where they recommend stopping for refreshments, to which attractions are nearby. They are also able to help with accommodation, should you decide you want to make your stay longer.
These centres are scattered all over the country. It is always an idea to do a bit of research beforehand so you know where the tourist information centre is for the area you’re visiting before you depart. You can find more information on this here.
If you’re visiting the coast or spending time near an estuary or other body of water, you’ll need to know the tide times so you can plan when it is safe to be on the beach or to make sure you’re in the right place at the right time for certain activities, such as boating or dolphin spotting. This information is available from the BBC on their Tide Times website
