Britain Is More

Betanden was created to celebrate the extraordinary depth of British life. This small archipelago on the edge of Europe contains more layers of history, culture, landscape and wildlife than almost anywhere else on Earth — and we believe it deserves a guide worthy of its complexity.
Whether you are planning a journey through the Scottish Glens, curious about the Battle of Hastings, watching a barn owl hunt over a Norfolk meadow, or counting down to your favourite Bank Holiday — Betanden brings it all together in one trusted, beautifully written place.
