England is a region with countless charms: a vibrant capital blending historic landmarks with live entertainment all year round, lush countryside, and delightful villages.
Start your journey in London, the capital. Admire Buckingham Palace and the Changing of the Guard, visit the Tower of London, or head to the top of The Shard. You’ll enjoy panoramic views over London and the Thames. The City also boasts beautiful parks such as St James’s Park, Hyde Park and Regent’s Park. Continue your trip to England southward along the coast. Visit Canterbury Abbey, admire the white cliffs of Eastbourne, and pass through small port towns such as Brighton, nicknamed the English St Tropez, as well as Southampton and its Tudor House, a historic home from the Tudor dynasty. Then wander through the Cornwall region, made up of steep cliffs, beautiful beaches, medieval castles, and tiny hamlets and villages with cottages in a typical architectural style. This region is perfect for hiking, watersports, and nature lovers, with its rich flora of magnolias, camellias, and rhododendrons. Then head up to Bath, the most Roman city in England and the birthplace of novelist Jane Austen. The city of Bristol, meanwhile, is famous for its suspension bridge, the Clifton Bridge, and the SS Great Britain, a steamship turned into a museum. Another must-see attraction is the mysterious site of Stonehenge with its megaliths, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Don’t miss the two most famous university cities in England. The city of Oxford is home to many renowned universities, including the oldest, New College, which was used as a filming location for scenes from the Harry Potter saga. You can also discover the Bodleian Library, St Mary the Virgin Church, Oxford Castle, and the Bridge of Sighs, inspired by the original in Venice. In Cambridge, you can visit King’s College, a masterpiece of Gothic architecture, and Trinity College, the largest in the city, then the Wren Library, one of the most beautiful in the world. Finally, a memorable experience is a punt ride on the river, a kind of gondola steered by students. So, when are you heading to England?
