Let’s be clear, we’re not trying to pull the wool over anyone’s eyes…our often inclement weather is no secret.
Still, it’s reassuring to know that foreign visitors who set foot on our green and pleasant lands don’t love Britain any less because of the rubbish weather.

New research from VisitBritain has found that tourists – from more than 30 countries worldwide – wouldn’t be put off visiting our shores by the prospect of grey skies.
1,000 potential travellers were asked how much they agreed with the line: ‘I would not want to visit Britain because of the weather there’.
On a scale from 1 to 7, where the latter was ‘strongly agree’, the average score came out at 2.76 – a clear vote of confidence that poor weather rarely dissuades tourists from actually visiting.
It seems foreign travellers are under no illusions that they’ll be met with sunshine though, with around half of those questioned agreeing that ‘wet and foggy’ was an accurate general description of British weather.
‘Visitors do not come with a belief that should a few drops of rain fall then their trip will be ruined.’
A brush with an umbrella doesn’t detract from the appeal of the country’s museums, castles and ancient attractions, continues Dawes.
‘Our research also tells us that visitors from overseas come here to experience our world-class heritage and culture, be this Tate Liverpool, Edinburgh Castle, the British Museum or Stonehenge.’
It never rains on my tours – and thats a promise! I have 1000’s of satisfied customers who have toured with me who will vouch for me.
