Home to many of the historic and contemporary influences that have permeated throughout the world, England is the sort of place that feels and sounds familiar. Much of this familiarity is due to music, television and movies, with the names of famous streets like Abbey Road and Portobello Road, towns such as Stratford-Upon-Avon, Oxford and Cambridge, cities such as London and Liverpool, and areas such as the Lakes District, the Cotswolds and the white cliffs of Dover, all seeming to be part of our everyday lives. Although it seems familiar, the real thing is far better than the image, and travelling around is an exciting and rewarding experience. The mass of history with its untold stories such as the Anglo-Saxons burial site at Sutton Hoo, museums and art galleries, castles and stately homes, churches and cathedrals, earthworks and henges, adds to any tour. Fortunately since England is such a popular travel destination there is an endless supply of facts and figures for the smallest detail of every stately home to Cathedral readily available for any avid traveller!!
To add another facet to any visit, is the glorious time that can be spent is some of the finest pubs in the world, home to some particularly good ales, ciders and distilled delights. The time spent in these institutions gives you space to plan the next days events or learn of any local places of interest!! Maybe check out the local markets, agricultural and steam shows or special festivals, there always seems to be something happening!! Transport around the country is easy whether it be by car, using the great network of motorways to the quiet country lanes, or by train or even boat, as the country is covered in a good network of canals!! It just depends of the speed you want to travel around, it could even be by a gypsy caravan!!
The mysteries of Stonehenge and the puzzling Avebury Rings, the myths of King Arthur at Tintagel, and those of Avalon at Glastonbury, the delights of ancient cities such as Winchester, Canterbury and York, the awe of St.Paul’s Cathedral and the history of the Tower of London and the Crown Jewels, the wonder of Windsor and Warwick Castles and the beauty of the countryside that envelopes England, are some of the reason why this is such a must see destination!!
