The 5 Most Beautiful Places to Visit in England
With foreign travel being so accessible these days, it’s easy to forget the beauty to be found right here in your own country. England hosts many areas with beautiful natural scenery, stunning architecture and a huge range of leisure activities. We’ve listed our top 5 most beautiful places in England to visit.
Yorkshire
Yorkshire’s winning combination of breathtaking scenery and grand architectural cities brings visitors from all over. The natural beauty of Yorkshire’s three national parks: the Dales, Peaks, and Moors, is unparalleled, providing miles of walks and opportunities to enjoy the wildlife in the English countryside. Likewise, the Yorkshire coast boasts a rugged coastline lined with Victorian architecture providing visitors an insight into the country of old.
For some indoors activities, visitors to Yorkshire will find no lack of things to do. The county boasts more Michelin-starred restaurants than anywhere else (bar London), many developed shopping centres, and heritage sites to enjoy.
Lake District
The Lake District National Park has been a protected area since 1951, providing the home for over 885 square miles of woodland, lakes and fells – including England’s highest peak, Scafell Pike.
This is one of the best places in England for lovers of the outdoors, with endless areas for leisurely walks, mountain biking, rock climbing and hiking all in stunning scenery. Be sure to take plenty of layers when visiting, however, as the Lake District can be notorious for unpredictable weather, with rain not uncommon even in the summer months!
London
Voted the world’s most popular city, London is a place not to be missed. The sprawling cosmopolitan city, encompassing cultures from across the world has the atmosphere to match, with a range of pop-up restaurants and bars providing an astounding amount of choice. Further entertainment can always be found in the form of museums, the Royal National Theatre, Museums and art galleries.
Bath
The small city of Bath receives over two million visitors a year, flocking to experience the Georgian Architecture and varied shopping, restaurants and pubs on offer. It can get busy at weekends, so aim to go between Sunday and Thursday for a quieter visit.
Plenty of entertainment is available regardless of the weather, from parks and walks along the canal, to sampling the shopping and pub refreshments found everywhere. At the end of the day, there’s no better place to relax than in the famous Roman Baths.
Cornwall
Cornwall is a haven for outdoors enthusiasts and surfers, with a sprawling coastline of dunes and cliffs providing a beautiful backdrop. Most of the north-coast beaches offer surf lessons, with local shops providing traditional cornish refreshments.
You can visit Cornwall any time of the year, with weather being milder this far south. September and October are prime for surfing as the sea’s at it’s hottest, with great Spring weather also coming earlier in the year in January and February.
