England (Great Britain)

England offers great variety from the bustle of city life to quiet countryside, the formality of the monarchy to the avant-garde, and scenic beaches to ruged mountainsides. London offers non-stop activity as Europe's largest city and capital of the United Kingdom. Within the southeast of England’s coastline, Canterbury is the richest part of the country due to its agricultural wealth and proximity to the capital. The southwest of England with the rugged moorlands of Devon and the rocky coastline of Cornwall is another spot worth discovering. Salisbury, where they say the West Country starts, is dominated by the elegant spire of its cathedral, Stonehenge and Avebury.

The Western English areas of Bristol, Bath and Exeter are worth a visit. In the center of the Britain, the chief attractions are the old university cities of Oxford and Cambridge, and Stratford upon Avon and Norwich. In the north of England, the industrial cities of Liverpool, Newcastle and Manchester are gritty and lively places, and York and Durham have splendid historical treasures, but the landscape again is the real magnet, especially the uplands of the Lake District and the dales of Yorkshire.
