Canoe the
causeway
The legendary
Giant’s
Causeway is impressive enough
when seen from land, but it takes
on a whole new perspective from a
bobbing kayak. With some of GB’s
most dramatic coastlines and the
chance to spot seals, Northern
Ireland is the perfect place to try
out this splash sport. We
recommend the
North Coast Sea
Kayak Trail.

Buy a brolly
Let’s face it, you’re going to need one. Britain’s famous weather is no
match for
James Smith & Sons
,
the oldest umbrella shop in Europe,
which has been keeping Londoners dry since 1830. Pick up one of their
brollies for a quality souvenir of storms weathered.

Eat at Faulty Towers
The service might
be rude and we can’t
vouch for the food,
but there are guaranteed laughs
at
Faulty Towers The Dining
Experience

A blend of immersive
theatre and 70s nostalgia in
central London, it could be the
best bad night out you ever have.
