Useful information about your hike tour in Great Britain
Climate in Great Britain
The mild climate in Great Britain is ideal for hiking tours, especially in the months from March to October. The Gulf Stream brings the mild air into the country directly from the Atlantic and is responsible for the mild temperatures in the northern region. Although Great Britain is generally known for its high rainfall, the regions in the south in particular are drier than the areas in the western or northern parts of the country. In our Eurohike hiking destination Cornwall, the climate is particularly mild all year round and is therefore ideal for a successful hiking holiday.
Cuisine in Great Britain
British cuisine is very indulgent. You start with the most important meal of the day, the traditional ‘English Breakfast’ with fried bacon, sausages, eggs and grilled tomatoes. You can also find black pudding (blood sausage) or classic baked beans (baked white beans in tomato sauce) on the breakfast table. Other regional delights in Great Britain are tea, fish and chips, beer and whiskey, pies (especially Cornish pastry), apple crumble and Haggis.
Britain's culture and traditions
Influences from Great Britain have spread out over the continent due to British colonies and are still noticeable today in numerous countries such as India, Australia and Canada. But vice versa, due to its history as an international colonial power, numerous influences from other countries, such as from the Caribbean or India, can also be found in the British culture. Nevertheless, due to the Anglo-Saxon and Celtic customs, the four UK countries of England, Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland differ significantly in their respective regional cultures, traditions and languages.
