England
There’s good reason why England is one of the most visited countries in the world. It is a culturally diverse land with many facets and personalities. There’s no end to “must see” sights, regardless of whether you seek the bustle of its larger cities, quiet of its quaint towns and villages, ageless dignity of its cathedrals and iconic buildings, hidden secrets or spectacular mountains and lakes. For a sampling of what England has to offer, take a brief visit to some spots in the north and south by clicking below.
Steeped in history, the little town of Chester is a great destination in itself, but it's also a great place to stay and venture out to other areas in northern England, most notably the description-defying Lake District!
With a blend of sophisticated, cosmopolitan and historical sights, southern England has a wealth of extraordinary places to visit. London tourists accounted for more than half of England’s 35 million annual visitors. It is a compact, vibrant city where modern sights coexist with ancient in an odd kind of synergy. Where else could you find a Gherkin and the Eye sharing a skyline with the venerable Westminster Abbey and Big Ben? With a user-friendly transit city, getting around to all of them is a snap.
Click Chester above to see Northern England, the Tube logo - one of the most recognizable logos on earth - for a trip to southern England, or the sheep to visit the Cotswolds.
