England
Historic & Intreging
England is one of the most popular holiday destinations in Europe – its history, historic and world renowned architecture, royal palaces, art galleries, theatres and diverse lifestyles all form part of the popular mix. Family holidays are popular as it is a relatively safe holiday destination.
Moving away from London, almost every city, village and hamlet you come across is still like stepping back into history.
At the local pub or the churches, castles and mansions; across the farmlands and moors and mountains; or at the lakes and beaches - hundreds of years of history have been preserved.
England is also updated with modern facilities, transportation and communications, with modern freeways and connections to the rest of the world with daily international flights and the train channel tunnel to Europe.
However, the best way to see the real England is by car – just be careful driving down the narrow roads and laneways that criss-cross the countryside, only wide enough for one vehicle and tall hedges or thickets growing up to the roadside. The very nature of these roads and laneways makes covering distance much slower than many other countries.

"There is a forgotten, nay almost forbidden word, which means more to me than any other. That word is England." - Winston Churchill
The greatest drawback for many travelers is the bitter cold of winter - November through February. While for some the thought of a white Christmas may be enchanting, it is a time when many travelers stay away. However the long hours of daylight, warm (sometimes hot) summers days and warm balmy nights from April to September are perfect but remember the UK is one of the busiest holiday destinations in Europe, and this is when most tourist go there.
