Grand London and Edinburgh

Eight-day rail trip linking London and Edinburgh through English countryside

Railbookers offers this eight-day, seven-night independent rail package connecting London and Edinburgh, the capital cities of England and Scotland. In London, the trip takes travelers through winding alleyways to royal homes and world-class museums, along with a boat ride down the River Thames. From there, the train ride to Edinburgh runs through green English countryside before arriving in the hilly Scottish capital, home to a medieval Old Town. As an independent rail package, travelers set their own pace in each city rather than following a group leader. With seven nights split between just two destinations, there is time to settle into both London and Edinburgh rather than treat either as a quick stop. The trip suits history-minded travelers and independent sightseers drawn to two contrasting capital cities on one rail journey.
