Then travel to Cardiff, the capital of Wales, and through South Wales to board the ferry for the crossing to Ireland. Watch the craftsmen at work at the Waterford Crystal factory, admire the stallions at the Irish National Stud, and relax in Dublin, Ireland's capital, before heading north past the Mountains of Mourne to vibrant Belfast. Another ferry crossing takes you to Scotland and its capital city, Edinburgh, where a guided city tour includes a visit to Edinburgh Castle. The final highlights of this vacation include the Duke and Duchess of Roxburghe's magnificent Floors Castle, a walking tour through York, and last but not least, Shakespeare's birthplace in Stratford-upon-Avon. You'll arrive home with lots of stories and photos to share from your vacation to the British Isles.
