Looking at England on a world globe, the visitor from abroad may first consider England small but upon arriving many are surprised by the depth of variation. From the hustle and bustle of the face paced City of London to the slower paced and peaceful surroundings of rural England. There are a great many things about England that are known the world over. The famous standing stones of Stonehenge and the many castles ring of long gone times. Today many typify England with the Queen's Guard, red buses and red telephone boxes but these things are very quickly becoming the past. A red telephone box is far more likely to be seen as a shower in a London apartment than on the streets. Yes you can still experience the changing of the guard but these things are now more of a tourist attraction.
Even the English family taking a holiday in England are often surprised at the differences they experience when they visit somewhere for the first time. London may still be one of the top tourist destinations but other towns and cities offer much to compete. Many now consider visiting Liverpool an important part of their holiday. Birthplace of the Beatles, Liverpool is changing fast. In 2008 it will be the European Capital of Culture and well worth visiting then to experience the multitude of special events that will be celebrating the city. Liverpool is also has one of Europe's most dynamic programmes of international festivals, attracting more than 9 million visitors to the city.

Near to Liverpool is the city of Greater Manchester and also has much to offer the visitor to England. Similar to Liverpool, Manchester has glorious examples of galleries and museums. Steeped in it's industrial history Manchester has a lively and vibrant culture with theatres showing the latest West End musicals and cutting edge drama. The Manchester music scene is almost as famous as the Liverpool scene and a healthy rivalry exists between these two cities. This rivalry can be seen most in the sporting arena with Manchester having possibly the world's most famous football team, Manchester United.

The north of England is well known for it's industrial past and it's major contribution to popular music. However the north is also home to some of the finest countryside in the United Kingdom. The mountains may not be as tall and imposing of those found further north in Scotland but their beauty can be just as breathtaking. The Pennines run down the centre of northern England and Buxton and the Peak District offer the opportunity to experience many wonders including the famous "Blue John Cavern" Castleton. Moving further south we hit central England and the 2nd largest city, Birmingham famous for their Symphony Hall, Bullring and the NEC.

Further south again and we are back to London, home to the English Royal Family. London may well be the number one tourist destination but you would be missing much if you did not venture further. Not too far away are the seaside towns first made popular by the Victorians. All around the coast from Southend-on-sea around to Brighton and on to Bournemouth you will find wild nightlife, fairgrounds, historic buildings and much, much more to do. Holidays range from fun family orientated holidays to exiting experiences for the individual.
After visiting England you will realise the diversity of landscape, architecture, customs, accents, and general atmosphere make a 2nd visit almost compulsory.
