Discover England

Far from the whirl of London, England’s heart beats strongest out in the countryside. To wander the soaring hills, blue lakes, and limestone plateaus of counties like Cheshire, Essex and Bronte County is to forget the present day entirely.

Spend your days hiking trails across miles of unspoiled pastureland in the Cotswolds, where low hillocks merge with bustling market towns and traditions like afternoon tea and evening pints of stout were fostered long before they were shared with the rest of the world. The wild forests of the Lake District are stirring—with mountain peaks, plunging waterfalls, and simple country cottages. Sunny Cornwall offers gentle sea breezes, grassy headlands, and acclaimed cuisine.

Walking in England, you will happen upon as many thatched-roof stone cottages as you will remnants of castles, palaces, and stately homes—architecture that dates from the Iron Age to the Middle Ages and all epochs in between. It’s a landscape so tranquil and charming that it gave rise to a canon of literature all it’s own in the works of poets like Wordsworth and Coleridge.

Hoist a Pint in a “Local”

A cheery alternative to the bar rooms of the world, the majority of British pubs evoke a family-friendly atmosphere where children are permitted, while adults carry on chats focused on village social and civic life in true celebration of community spirit.

‘The poetry of earth is never dead…’

Outdoor adventure, photography and literature converge in the Lake District like no other location in Europe. Follow in the footsteps of Keats, Hawthorne and Tennyson or visit the homestead of Beatrix Potter at Hill Top Farm.

Everything Stops for Tea

Complete with finger sandwiches, regal china, and scrumptious sweets, an afternoon “cuppa” can only truly be experienced in the quaint hillside towns that brought afternoon tea to the world. Take a pause from your adventures to appreciate the finer things.
