From beautiful landscapes in the North to the great city of London in the South east or coastal charms in the South west, England is truly a destination to explore. Choose from vast National Parks, royal gardens or world-class attractions including historic castles and glorious countryside destinations. Seaside resorts, quaint villages and towns steeped in history and culture offer splendid comforts and natural beauty for any traveller.

Nowhere in the country can match the scope and innovation of the metropolis that is London, a colossal and frenetic city where you’ll find Britain's best spread of nightlife, cultural events, museums, galleries, pubs and restaurants. These days, other cities are up and coming and all have something to offer with Birmingham and it’s resurgent arts scene or Newcastle’s nightlife. Manchester is also now firmly on the map for it’s glamour in cafés and clubs, and of course it boasts the inimitable draw of the world's best-known football team.

England's ancient cathedral cities cannot be equalled for sheer physical beauty. Wherever you're based, you're never more than a few miles from a ruined castle, a majestic country house, a secluded chapel or a monastery. In the southwest there are remnants of a Celtic culture that was all but eradicated elsewhere by the Romans, and everywhere you can find traces of prehistoric settlers - most famously the megalithic circles of Stonehenge and Avebury .

Most beguiling of all are the long-established villages of England, hundreds of which amount to nothing more than a pub, a shop, and a gaggle of cottages. Devon, Cornwall , the Cotswolds and the Yorkshire Dales harbour some especially picturesque specimens, but every county can boast a decent showing. Then, of course, there's the English countryside, an extraordinarily diverse terrain from which Constable, Turner, Wordsworth, Emily Brontë and a host of other writers and artists took inspiration.
With so much to offer… the UK is a great choice as everything is practically on your doorstep. So if it’s whetted your appetite, then a holiday in England could be just the ticket!
