England ‘s appeal is numerous starting with the sophistication of London to the charming and varied English countryside. Your first trip to England will start in London, one of the most exciting capitals of Europe filled with so many historical sights and monuments like Big Ben, Parliament, Buckingham Palace, Tower of London, Westminster Abbey, museums such the British Museum, National Gallery the Tate London, art galleries, shopping galore, theater and concert venues and a profusion of eating venues among which you will find Michelin-starred restaurants as well those offering diverse ethnic cuisine to suite any palates.
But once you have explored London, don’t shy away from venturing out into the English countryside. You will discover green rolling hills, ancient castles, royal palaces, cities of rich historical heritage, medieval cathedrals and abbeys, picturesque thatched roofs villages untouched by time, sandy beaches, dramatic coastline and lush gardens. At Enchanted France we offer England vacation packages to include London city breaks as well as self-drive itineraries and chauffeur guided tours through the English countryside. Some “must sees” on your itinerary can include the enchanting The Cotswolds villages, the elegant town of Bath, Stonehenge ancient stone circles, quaint Cornwall of Arthurian legends, the moors of Devon and the Jurassic Coast, the spectacularly scenic Lake District and historic mansions and castles like Bleinheim Palace, Warwick and Leeds castles and much more. For city breaks outside of London, head to historical York, Manchester renowned for its football legacy or Liverpool where you can retrace the footsteps of the Beatles.
For more off the beaten-path adventure consider exploring Wales, Cymru in Welsh. Located, in the southwest corner of Great Britain, Wales has a very distinct Celtic heritage notably with its own spoken language. When visiting Wales your will feel a world away from its neighbor England with swatch of unspoiled landscape of rolling hills dotted with grazing sheep, high mountains, dramatic rugged coastline, sandy coves and ancient ruined castles. In south Wales you can explore Cardiff, a lively city with museums and other excellent cultural venues and coastal Swansea, Wales’ second largest city. North of Cardiff, you will find Brecon Beacons National Park, an area of deep green valleys, hills, rivers and lakes, a landscape greatly appreciated by country walkers. Southwest Wales is the area of Pembrokeshire famed for its stunning coastine that is best explored on foot along scenic paths.
In Northern Wales you will find lively beach resorts like Llandudno, secluded coves, quaint fishing villages, Snowdonia National Park with Wales and England’ tallest mountain, Snowdon, medieval castles like Conwy , Harlech, Caernarfon and Beaumaris.
Wales is an up and coming gastronomic destination. In Wales, the emphasis is on fresh local products notably Welsh raised lambs, local cheeses and freshly caught fish and seafood off the coast of Wales. In pubs and restaurants you will be able to choose from a selection of Wales produced beer, distilled whisky and even wines.
