Welcome to England with its lush green valleys hiding twixt its rolling hills, this country of diversity with its strong heritage for all to witness and historical past which can be
discovered as the tourist travels the country lanes and roads that lead to many different
pleasures. England will always be part of the British Isles which has a tremendous maritime
tradition and one that can be enjoyed today...as the many yachts and boats sailing the waters
confirm. But today it is an important part of the European Community with the Channel Tunnel linking to France and the rest of Europe which together with its English tradition that has blended with the influence of new culture filtering from Europe England is today a cosmopolitan country of the 21C
The cities that are dotted across this colourful landscape are mainly filled with medieval and
historic treasures as they owe their birth to the Romans, Saxons and Normans who all settled
and brought with them their own culture. This is reflected in the spectacular architecture to
be seen, the castles, abbeys and holy remains to be discovered, the many places of interest to
visit. All these sit comfortably next to the modern attractions of today with the entertainment
complexes, new shopping malls set amongst traditional medieval buildings, European cuisine
combining with the delights of the Asian continent...or perhaps a traditional plate of
'fish and chips'. No matter the need it can be satisfied by exploring the exciting
vibrancy that is offered by many of the cities to be visited and enjoyed.
The towns and villages owe their origins to days long since gone but they offer an old charm
and character which is individual to each as every county has its own history and tradition to
display in its buildings, local culture and that friendly cheerful smile that waits the
traveller. Some towns and villages have the benefit of being coastal resorts as well with the
beauty of the sand, sea and sun to provide as relaxing escape. but there are other forms of
rest to enjoy and these are to be found in the peaceful countryside where time can stand still
as the gentle breeze sways its way onwards. England has so much to offer with its accommodation
to satisfy every need from a five star hotel with full leisure facilities, health and beauty
facilities to the family getaway camping or caravanning...which is a great option for those who
want to be close to nature and are 'green conscious'. There are sporting and leisure
activities based on the land, water and air to enjoy as well as excursions that will entertain
as the journey will explore the beautiful countryside as it courses its way to your
destination.
England has changed with the passage of time and is providing the luxuries demanded by the 21C
but still has a strong tradition with its historical past. it is a lovely country to visit and
its here to be shared and enjoyed. And as you travel the countryside try and discover the most
famous 'fictional' castle in the world. Camelot where the legendary King Arthur and
his beautiful Queen Guinevere once ruled. Well perhaps that may be difficult to find but the
romance of the legend typifies the beauty and the splendour of England's green pastures
and embodies the spirit of this fair land.. but there is only one way to discover England and
its hidden beauty.
