A huge and remote part of the UK has been tipped as a 'place to go' by the New York Times. The US's 'paper of record' has chosen 52 parts of the world that are well worth a visit in 2025, and the Flow Country in northern Scotland has been named among them. The 1,500 square miles marsh is the largest blanket bog in Europe and was named a UNESCO World Heritage site in July. Following 40 years of campaigning by environmentalists, the bog became the first peatland in the world to be given the UNESCO World Heritage Site label. Bosses in Bath are also planning some commemorative events this year to mark Austen's 250th birthday.
