There are few places which can compare with the lush verdant countryside of England on a warm summers day. Steeped in history, everywhere you go you find the marvellous heritage of a country which grew rich on travel, adventure and invention and built formidable castles to defend itself.

There are quintisential elements about England which you simply don't get anywhere else, the traditional pub and the village cricket green are engraved in Englands culture. There are many more aspects of English life to enjoy, in particular the people who are at heart warm and welcoming.

For those who like to get out and about in the countryside there are many well maintained walks, bridle ways and cycle tracks to suit all tastes, amidst rolling hills, wooded valleys and fast running rivers. The weather may be variable but the attractions of England remain constant.
