Don’t be fooled by what you learned in school–England isn’t
just about Romeo and Juliet, dry lists of names in history books, and musty
castles. Today’s traveler will find England to be a charming, fascinating
destination, full of picturesque towns, trendy clubs, and, of course, plenty
of history. And,
if that wasn’t enough, English cuisine is undergoing a revival–London
boasts an array of chic new restaurants.
The most famous of all picturesque
English villages is Stratford-upon-Avon; the home of William Shakespeare. However,
there are many other English villages
well
worth the traveler’s time.
The town of Bath, well-known to Jane Austen
fans, boasts unique architecture and a relaxing atmosphere. Fond of the tales
of Robin Hood? Then visit Nottinghamshire,
where the famous tales of derring-do were set.
For travelers not so enamored
of quaint villages, the wonderful capital city of London has everything a modern
traveler could want – grand museums,
impressive theatre, old-fashioned pubs, and plenty of exciting clubs. London
has many historical landmarks such as the Tower of London, the reconstructed
Globe Theater, and Buckingham Palace – and, of course, if you get tired
of walking, take a break to admire the famous Crown Jewels!
