England, a country of patchwork landscapes: from the rugged coastlines and golden beaches of Devon and Cornwall, to the craggy mountains of the Peak District, the ancient forests riddled with folklore, to the picturesque Lake District, to great cities and to centuries-old villages of heart-warming charm. Woven into its fabric lies a rich-veined Englishness, earthed in a heritage of stone circles, Arthurian legend, Shakespeare, the triumphalist ego of a crumbling aristocracy, and the cocky independence of an island nation.

Vibrant, multicultural and contradictory, contemporary England is a place of extremes yet, at times, fiercely united. From the essential glories of London, Stratford, Gloucester and York, to the quirky delights of Newcastle, Liverpool and Manchester, Englands cities are lively, buzzing places, where a love of nostalgia strains against a spirit of inventiveness.

Enjoy the unrivalled beauty of the Cotswolds and the Dales, but travel the byways of Northumberland, and church-laden Lincolnshire too. With time to spare, escape the tourist trails and wander over peaceful countryside, savour real ale at a country pub, visit a traditional town market, or sample Englands new-wave wines and a cosmopolitan cuisine that rivals any in the world. England today is welcoming, friendly, fascinating and fun, where pomp and circumstance balance the often bizarre idiosyncrasies of its people, and a sense of humour is the passport to certain acceptance.

  • Holkham Beach
    Much of North Norfolk has been designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty - and with good cause. The beach at Holkham is a very special stretch that scorns deckchairs and is blessed with some of the best that English nature has to offer. The net result is miles and miles of clean golden sands, white sand dunes and big, big skies.
  • Buckingham Palace
    The official London residence of the monarch since Queen Victoria moved there in 1837, Buckingham Palace is one of the most recognisable monuments of the monarchy in London, perched in the midst of central London's green spaces.

    The British Museum is one of London's top attractions, with a mission to "illuminate the histories of cultures for present and future generations".

    Founded by Sir Terence Conran, the Design Museum was the first museum in the world to be dedicated to 20th and 21st century design.
