As the largest country in the United Kingdom, those visiting England have approximately 2750 miles of stunning coastline and seaside resorts to choose from. The rugged and fossil-strewn Jurassic coast is justifiably beloved, as is the lively resort town of Weymouth and Cornwall's picturesque Isles of Scilly. England holidays also offer the chance to bask in nature, be it hiking in the Lake District, exploring Dorset or on tours of the Cotswolds. Its towns and cities, meanwhile, provide world-class attractions such as Big Ben, the London Eye, and Buckingham Palace in the capital and nearby Harry Potter World at Warner Bros Studio, as well as historic sights like Beaulieu Palace House, Windsor Castle and Chester’s Roman walls.

Food & Drink in England

Traditional scones with cream, jam and, of course, tea, will always be top of the list. However, there is much more to England than its quaint treats.

Given its expansive coastline, England boasts a wide range of seafood and fish and chips are a popular Friday night dinner. From mussels in Devon and lobster in Cornwall to cod in Yorkshire and Northumberland's kippers, you'll find it's fresh and plentiful. 

It can definitely be said that the country is one of cheese lovers. Among the many favourite varieties are Cheddar, Stilton, Wensleydale, and Red Leicester.

Embarking on tours in England means being able to try a host of regional dishes, be it Lancashire hotpot, Cornish pasties, Bedfordshire Clangers or Bakewell pudding. Meanwhile in the major cities like London or Manchester, you can find cuisine from all over the world with neighbourhoods offering a melting-pot of cultural treats.
