Great Expectations

I’ve just returned from the Scottish Highlands, from one of the most amazing weeks of my life, so a round (or three) of golf in Scotland’s legendary courses would definitely rank way up there on any Great British experience. Scotland, undoubtedly, is the birthplace of this great sport and many avid golfers would liken playing at one of the many legendary links here (think St Andrews, Gleneagles, Carnoustie and Royal Troon) to a sacred pilgrimage. It has been said that there are over 500 courses in Scotland alone. And don’t we all agree that choice (and many good ones at that) is a luxury?

Salisbury in Wiltshire has many great things going for it. One would be the awe-inspiring Salisbury Cathedral – certainly one of England’s loveliest. Its construction dates back to 1220 and it boasts a truly remarkable 404-foot spire, which was completed towards the end of the 13th century. For those whose tastes tend to veer towards the fey, Wiltshire is also home to the mystical Stonehenge. Although it’s usually swarming with tourists, there is a kind of otherworldliness about it.
