Acklams 2025 UK D2D Brochure - Flipbook - Page 67
There are few sights as magical and
breath-taking to behold as the
northern lights, which is why seeing
them is a top ten feature on many
people9s bucket lists. You don9t need
to take a long trip to the Arctic to
hunt this natural phenomenon,
Scotland9s latitude mirrors Stavanger
in Norway and Nunivak Island in
Alaska, making it the UK9s best place
to see these awe-inspiring 8Mirrie
Dancers9. Whisky is Scotland9s national
drink and, enjoyed across the globe as
well as in Scotland so we couldn9t visit
without tasting a wee dram or two!
With a storyteller sharing passion,
knowledge and behind the scenes
expertise to bring the Scottish Whisky
history to life.

Full of traditional Scottish charm, the
interior is comfortable and homely and
there are lounge areas and restaurant.

quaint attic rooms) but do not

hairdryer, and tea/coffee facilities are
provided. There is a lift.
Gardens, Castles and
Mountains of Wales
Possibly not as well-known as some
parts of Wales, mid-Wales has some
very impressive gardens and castles
just waiting to be discovered. Powis
Castle near Welshpool is a medieval
castle, fortress and country mansion.
Take a trip through the Cambrian
Mountains to the Elan Dams before
travelling by train to Aberystwyth.
Finally, there is Llanerchaeron, a
National Trust property. This 18th
century Welsh gentry estate with
house, walled gardens and farm,
remains virtually unchanged since it
was designed and built in 1790.
