London has everything that one of the greatest capital cities in the world should have, and no holiday could be long enough to experience all its pleasures, but England has many other treats to delight the traveller.
In the South of England, chalk hills, ancient forests, gaunt cliffs and scenic harbours are the backdrop to ancient sites, historic houses and beautiful gardens. Reach into prehistory at Stonehenge. Thrill to the pageantry of Windsor Castle. Share the English passion for gardens at romantic Sissinghurst. Travel to the sea, explore tranquil beaches, try a white-knuckle ride at Southsea, take the ferry to the Isle of Wight or visit elegant Brighton. Inland, use historic Oxford as a base to explore the quintessentially English Cotswolds. At Bath, jade green water still shimmers in the perfectly preserved Roman baths, and if Jane Austen stepped out of a carriage in the Royal Crescent, it would be no surprise.
Travel to the South West of England a land of myth and magic. Tales of smugglers and witchcraft abound and Tintagel is the legendary birthplace of King Arthur. Be at one with nature. Walk the wild moors and the high cliffs; everywhere the ocean calls; memories of golden days spent sailing, surfing or beachcombing will stay with you forever. Famous for its translucent light, the South West is a Mecca for artists. Use the guide to visit St Ives overflowing with galleries, including the Tate Gallery of the West. The giant biomes of the Eden Project and the Lost Gardens of Heligan are a beacon for gardeners, as is the sub-tropical island of Tresco in the Scillies. see the English travel guides articles and attractions reports to help you visiting.
In the Heart of England is Shakespeare Country; that Elizabethan jewel, Warwick Castle; and Birmingham, the UK’s second largest city, with an outstanding symphony hall and a buzzy café society. Travel to the Peak District. Visit it a thousand times and you’ll still never tire of its grand vistas and secret valleys. These natural wonders are counterpointed by the manmade splendours of Chatsworth House, ‘the palace of the Peaks’, and Hardwick Hall. In contrast, the lush farmland of Herefordshire and Gloucestershire is studded with timeless villages.
The East of England has big skies, remote sand flats, historic towns and villages and bustling seaside resorts; Constable country, Cambridge and the Broads. Superb beaches where you can forget the harsh rush of modern life. Step straight into an 19th-century landscape around Dedham, where Constable painted the Hay Wain. Be overawed at the massive medieval bulk of Ely Cathedral, rising majestically from the fens. Drift along ‘the backs’ in a punt and be intoxicated by the finest view of Cambridge’s ancient, magically beautiful colleges. The English travel guide provides details on all locations and matches them to local hotels and restuarants.
Explore the mysterious reedbeds and creeks of the Broads and spy on the teeming wildlife in this watery paradise. Or feel the wind in your hair - hire a bike or take a horse for a gallop along the shore.
England’s North Country is as contemporary as it is classic, from the medieval charms of Durham and York, to the stunning 21st-century architecture of the great cosmopolitan cities of Manchester, Leeds, Newcastle and Liverpool. And everywhere, literature is locked into the landscape - from Wordsworth to Beatrix Potter in the Lake District, to the bleak drama of the Brontës’Yorkshire Moors.
Let history come alive. Picture Roman Centurions in gilded armour mustering at Hadrian’s Wall, or listen for the chants of monks drifting through the centuries at dreamlike Fountains Abbey. Or for a day of pure fun, hit Blackpool. Wear a silly hat. Eat candyfloss on the pier. Ride the massive ‘Big One’ rollercoaster.
