Charming. "We're sorry but this site is not accessible from the UK as it is part of our international service and is not funded by the licence fee. It is run commercially by BBC Worldwide, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the BBC, the profits made from it go back to BBC programme-makers to help fund great new BBC programmes. You can find out more about BBC Worldwide and its digital activities at www.bbcworldwide.com."

I missed the part which explains why I'm not allowed to read it? I don't see what a TV license fee (which I don't pay anyway as I don't watch TV) has to do with a website.

The bizzare thing is someone made this exact complaint about BBC Future, whose situation is legally identical to BBC Travel, and in response they simply made it accessible (it now carries a banner).
