My Travel Britain

England

EnglandEngland may be the biggest and best known of the United Kingdom's three parts, but many of its attractions remain unknown to a large portion of its millions of annual visitors. From bustling cities such as London, Birmingham, and Liverpool to the charming local pubs and rolling green hills of its rural countryside, England has something to offer all of its visitors.

Most of England's highlights can be seen within a week, but mytravelbritain.co.uk recommends a stay of at least two weeks to fully explore everything England has to offer. A minimum of three to four days is recommended to tour London alone. Stratford-upon-Avon, William Shakespeare’s birthplace, requires two days to explore.

Some more recommended attractions mytravelbritain.co.uk suggests to those with a little more time to spare in England include the ancient monument of Stonehenge, the port of Plymouth where the Mayflower first departed for the New World, and the several picturesque villages of the Cotswolds region. A day is recommended to tour each of these places.

The quickest way to see most of London's attractions is aboard one of the city's famous double-decker buses, which give frequent 90 minute guided tours, but a far longer stay is recommended to fully explore all the aspects of England's most famous and most populated city. Many of London's attractions are within walking distance of each other, but the famous Windsor Castle is actually located 30 minutes north of the city by train.

One of England's oldest cities is Bath, which received its name from the many public baths established in the city during the Roman Empire. Visitors who come to England expecting endless rainy days may be pleasantly surprised at the beaches of Cornwall and Devon, which are similar to those found in Australia and California.
