From the rolling hills of the Cotswolds and buzzing London, to sleepy Cornish villages and dramatic coastal splendour, little England has it all.
The English, it is often said, are cold and distant, yet quietly generous and friendly. Obsessive tea drinkers and fanatic football fans, England is a nation of eccentricity and liberalness, and one of the most popular destinations on the planet.
The frenetic and diverse capital London, an untidy cornucopia of architectural wonder, is the centerpiece, while the grandiose seats of learning Cambridge and Oxford, sit like refined satellites on its outskirts. England is a thrilling place to visit, with a culture and people that is quite unlike any other, and there is no better place to start your visit, than in the centre of English cultural life: the pub.
