Welcome to England

England is a versatile European travel destination with endless possibilities. A trip to England can bring you to world-class cities such as London, mystical places such as Stonehenge, but also spacious historic estates in rural settings, picturesque old timey villages, beautiful gardens, legendary castles, and much more. There are also beautiful national parks to discover that give you those iconic British countryside vistas. And there is more than enough variety here to keep you occupied for a long time.

Land of amazing moments

In addition to the beautiful and varied landscapes, England also has some beautiful cities to discover. In the country’s capital of London, for example, you can easily find something to do for many days during your trip. You can visit and see a number of famous buildings such as Big Ben, London Bridge, London Eye and Buckingham Palace. Or explore other cities such as Bath (the location of the legendary King Arthur’s round table), Birmingham, Liverpool, Bristol and Manchester during your holiday. In general, England has a lot to offer in terms of culture and history. And for the football fans among us, a visit during a Premier League match could be another memorable experience.

England Highlights

The Lake District National Park

The Lake District National Park is without a doubt one of England’s most popular areas and for good reason because here you’ll find breathtaking sceneries, spectacular vistas, stunning lakes and valleys, and many cozy pubs in quaint little villages such as Keswick, Grasmere, and Bowness-on-Windermere. It is a popular hiking destination for local and foreign visitors alike. There’s plenty to do here when it comes to outdoor adventurous activities. You can walk the imposing mountain pass of Kirkstone, take a trip along the shores of one of the lakes, or relax on a boat trip and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. The park has some of the most beautiful dramatic landscapes in England. A destination not to be missed when visiting England.

Oxford

The famous southern English city of Oxford is known as a student city and for its beautiful architecture. It is a city along the Thames and there are many hiking trails here. Oxford’s attractions are often in walking distance from one another. Walking around the imposing medieval buildings of Oxford University, for example, is like stepping back in time. And it has some of the oldest buildings in all of Europe, including a historic library that houses 14th century maps and works by Shakespeare. The other buildings offer similar imposing gothic architecture. Many of its buildings were also used as a setting for the Harry Potter films. There are also museums to discover, which include the Ashmolean Museum and the Museum of Natural History. And if you desire to see more places after Oxford, you can also make a trip to the nearby Cotswolds and Chilterns for sights of rural England.

Hadrian's Wall

Hadrian’s Wall was built by the Romans around AD 122 as a defensive structure on the far edges of their empire. These days the wall is a Unesco World Heritage site and one of the easiest long distance walking routes in the UK. The hiking trail along Hadrian’s wall was opened in 2003 and is a trail of about 135 kilometers. The route follows Hadrian’s Wall from the east coast at Newcastle to the west coast and is loaded with history. At some locations along the trail you can see old fortresses and visit a museum. Walking along the wall you’ll also discover Roman settlements and old remnants of castles, pass through little villages, and you’ll have scenic views of the English countryside during the walk.

London is a world-class city with tons to do. One of these attractions is the Tower of London, the city’s oldest landmark and an iconic location.

This is a reconstructed city from the time when York was occupied by Vikings and called Jorvik.

Afternoon Tea

Afternoon tea is one of the most British things around. This sort of meal ritual originated in the 19th century, when the hours between lunch and dinner took too long. It’s like a mini-meal between the bigger meals. Tea was served with assortments of sandwiches, cakes, muffins, chocolates and other sorts of sweet treats. These days you can have tea in many places throughout England. From restaurants to fancy hotels, they’ll serve various forms of this meal. Having an afternoon tea is not just about the drinks and food, but also about the service. It captures a traditional old-fashioned British charm in the atmosphere and it’s a lot of fun to participate.

Peak District

The nature found in the Peak District is simply breathtaking and varied. You can see rugged mountains, imposing hills, deep caves, green valleys and lush forests here. This national park is named for its two distinct mountains, White Peak and Dark Peak. It is one of the most visited parks in England and a heaven for people who love hiking and walking through nature and doing sports such as cycling and horse riding. You’ll also find typical cute English towns here where you can wander the narrow streets and little shops. This beautiful area is huge and it is recommended to spend at least a few nights here to take it all in.

England's Pubs

When you think of England, you think of pubs. They go together like butter on toast and many pubs in England have histories that go back hundreds of years. These cozy pubs have been places of shelter for many travelers of the years. They’ve provided a place where you could take a break and have a meal or some rest. Or just hang around and get to know the local people. England has many pubs and they can be found in every town and city. The old historic city centers often have the traditional historic pubs, but there are also more modern ones around. A trip to England is not complete without visiting one just for the incredible experience. Have a drink and a meal and go back home taking special memorable stories with you.
