The BritRail Pass
Hop Across the Pond for For Adventures (Mostly) in Your Language
Passport in hand, you’re ready to travel the world. Where to start? Most find the UK an easy, introductory land. The language, basically the same, although in Scotland you’ll encounter plenty of Gaelic, and in Wales, 20% of the population still speak Welsh. Head to the north of England and a bit of Cockney might have you saying, “Come again?” No matter the accent or language, the UK is home to a warm, welcoming people ready to say, “Cheerio.”
Your BritRail Pass™ gives unlimited train travel in all three countries. With a consecutive pass, don’t even think about rushing from London to Liverpool, Cork to Killarney. You have your choice of days you’d like to putter around. With the flexipass, choose a large block of time in which to complete your travels.
And speaking of putter, this is the birthplace of Golf. From St. Andrews to Carnoustie to Turnberry, Scotland has over 600 courses to choose from. Bring your driver, because thanks to the BritRail pass, you don’t have to be one. No getting lost or driving on that side of the road.
Come see castles, search for Nessie, learn a phrase in Welsh. Traveling by train in the UK is easy in any language.
