In England’s North Country you’ll find the scenic splendour of lakes and mountains, castles, dramatic coastlines and glorious National Parks, combined with the medieval city of York, lively Blackpool and Manchester, world renowned for its football.

Travel south and you’ll see a gentler landscape; quiet country lanes and inland waterways, the shimmering fenlands of the east coast and Stratford, Shakespeare’s birthplace and the university city of Cambridge.

Continue south of London and the area boasts glorious gardens, oast houses and stately homes whilst, the southern coast has an enviable reputation for its beaches and resorts, historic market towns, and the charming cathedral cities of Winchester and Salisbury, close to Stonehenge. 

The BA London Eye stands a whopping 135 metres high on the South Bank between Waterloo and Westminster Bridges, right opposite Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament and provides stunning views over central London and beyond. Visitors are treated to a gently paced half-hour ride in space age capsules holding 25 people each, hopping on and off as the wheel moves. An increasingly popular idea is to visit the London Eye at night time when the view is perhaps at its most magical.

To the South West of London, the West Country offers great surfing off the craggy Cornwall coast, picturesque thatched cottage villages in the Cotswolds, cider from Somerset and delicious Devon cream teas. Newquay is the capital of England's surfing scene with 11 beaches stretching over seven miles of golden sand so it is not surprising that this one-time fishing village has transformed itself into , the surfer's paradise.Newquay is the UK's premier

Sunrise at Newquay

A big one at Towan Beach

Newquay Bay consists of four beaches - Towan, Great Western, Tolcarne and Lusty Glaze which form one single mile long stretch of sand at low tide. All four beaches can offer great waves depending on wind, swell and sandbanks.Towan is situated at the southern end of the Bay Area. This means that it is also most protected from wind. In order to work it needs good swell as it is well sheltered. Lefts break off the Harbour Wall at mid to high tide when it is generally regarded as best time to surf it. Very popular with beginners and bathers in crowded summer months but watch out for surfing restrictions through this period. Info and pictures courtesy of SURF NEWQUAY

Smokin' at Glastonbury

Glastonbury- Stage at night

Oxford

Bodiam Castle-East Sussex

Glastonbury Festival is unique !

It's the largest greenfield music and performing arts festival in the worldThe site is in a beautiful location - 900 acres in the Vale of Avalon, an area steeped in symbolism, mythology and religious traditions dating back many hundreds of years. It's where King Arthur may be buried, where Joseph of Arimathea walked, where leylines converge ...

And the site is ENORMOUS - more than a mile and a half across, with a perimeter of about eight and a half miles.

Then there are the people, in all their splendid diversity ! There is only one common characteristic of a Glastonbury-goer : they understand that Glastonbury offers more

opportunity than any other happening to have the best weekend of the year or even of a life-time, and they are determined to have it ! You'll meet all kinds of people, of all ages, backgrounds, nationalities, lifestyles, faiths, concepts of fashion (or lack of it), musical taste; some will undoubtedly wear silly hats, or buy shirts that they'll never wear again. Until next year. The vibe is generally mellow and friendly, and on the very odd occasion it isn't, there are plenty of vibe-doctors around to help.

Oxford- "City of dreaming Spires" and the second most popular Tourist destination in UK the romantic setting for many a film, television series and book, ancient seat of learning(the worlds oldest University), birthplace of Oxfam, Mensa and (currently) the Mini - that iconic British car.

Views of the townTo get an overview before you begin walking, try climbing up Carfax Tower in the city centre.

Other views over the city are available from the University Church of St Mary the Virgin in the High Street, and St Michael Northgate, in Cornmarket. All of these vantage points have small admission charges.
