Places To Visit On Your England Vacation

By: Dominic Donaldson Home |


England is a tourist's playground. Whether you are dreaming of country walks and quaint thatched pubs in the Cotswolds, sightseeing in London, visiting the birthplace of William Shakespeare in Stratford-Upon-Avon, or perhaps catching a few waves on the surf beaches in Cornwall, visitors to England will find an abundance of options available to them when booking their England vacation.

In a country with so many places to visit, group tours can be a great way to see the country if you are time deprived. It gives you the chance to meet other likeminded visitors and help to make your England vacation as hassle free as possible.

Few people visit England without making a trip into the capital city. The opportunities available to tourists in London can be quite daunting if you are on a short time scale. With so many attractions situated all around the city, getting from one to the other can be quite frustrating. Many tour companies offer excellent guided trips around the key attractions such as Hyde Park, Trafalgar Square, London Bridge, Tower of London, Buckingham Palace, Westminster, the London Eye and St Pauls Cathedral to name but just a few. It is quintessential England at its best.

If you're looking to see a little more than the capital city on your England vacation, you could try a longer tour taking in some of the country's most spectacular sights. Suggested itineraries could include travelling from London to Cambridge, taking in the classic architecture and perhaps Kings College Chapel. From here you may progress up to York, soaking up York Minister and Treasurer's House before moving on to Durham to visit the Cathedral and the famous castle. Perhaps your tour will then bring you down to Hadrian's Wall to photograph the incredible monument to the Romans, a huge part of English history. Next stop may be the Lake District to indulge in some traditional English countryside and maybe embark on one of the many walks in the area. After this, you may chose to call in at Stratford-Upon-Avon, birthplace of the famous Shakespeare, before visiting the Cotswolds and ending up at your hotel in Bath, famous for its Roman Baths and The Abbey. From here, it's a simple drive back to London to reflect on your memorable and enchanting England vacation.

Or perhaps you are looking to soak up some of the English coastal towns taking in different attractions from castles and country houses to modest dwellings and countryside. Your tour guide may lead you to many of the English World Heritage Sites including Stonehenge, Bath and Canterbury and embarking on a selection of talks and walks by expert guides, giving you an excellent and informed insight into the country. Cornwall, the Dorset Coast, Kent and the cities of Plymouth and Portsmouth are also a must for visiting if you want to experience traditional beauty on the English coast.

You may decide a tour group is not for you and you want to explore the country independently. Either way, be sure to plan your time well to ensure you get the most out of your England vacation. Buy the souvenirs, enjoy an afternoon tea with scones and jam and soak up the culture that makes England one of the most historically rich countries in the world.
