If you're an American, Canadian or Australian tourist, you'll be able to travel visa-free throughout the UK, providing you have a valid passport and your reason for visiting meets the immigration rules (link is external).

Citizens from some South American and Caribbean countries as well as Japan are also able to travel visa-free around the UK.

Castle with UNDERGROUND TUNNEL and a Tower with 98 STEPS! | Ashby de la Zouch Castle | UK Days Out

Hello and welcome to SpectroMagical! I'm Emma and it's great to have you here!

This video is the start of my trip up to Yorkshire. On the way we stop at Ashby de la Zouch to visit an English castle: Ashby de la Zouch castle, an English Heritage site. We explore the ruins and go into the underground tunnel. We climb the 98 steps to the top of the tower (and get very wet!). Then we have a wander around Ashby de la Zouch itself before moving onto our Travelodge.
