Traveller's Guide to England
England manages to cram an incredible historical, cultural and
natural legacy into a compact geographical space. Diverse and
cosmopolitan, England has something to surprise and delight
everyone. London, the capital city, is the country's political and
economic hub, home to the Queen and Royal Family and offers a
wealth of historic and modern attractions, famous landmarks,
museums, galleries and world-class shopping and dining
opportunities. England's other great cities - including Birmingham,
Manchester, Nottingham, Bath, York and Newcastle - are similarly
compelling.
Rural England, meanwhile, is renowned for the natural beauty of
locations such as the Lake District, Salisbury Plain, Dorset's
Jurassic Coast and Derbyshire's Peak District. England's unique and
entertaining coastal resorts, many of them established in Victorian
times, are equally unmissable in summer.
