Which Way Will You Go? <\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

England can be divided into nine different regions, ranging from the major metropolitan area of Greater London to the pastoral countryside of areas such as South West England. These are the East Midlands, the East of England, Greater London, North East England, North West England, South East England, South West England, the West Midlands and Yorkshire and the Humber.<\/p>\n

Whether you’re seeking the bright lights of big city nights, a solitary hike across desolate moors, a quiet stay in a quaint village or a combination of something somewhere in between, here’s a brief rundown of England’s nine regions to help you to better plan your visit.<\/p>\n

\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 East Midlands<\/strong>
\nHighlights to this mostly rural region include visits to the Peak District, Sherwood Forest and cathedral town of Lincoln.<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 East of England<\/strong>
\nFrom some of London’s most exclusive suburbs to traditional village life, seaside resorts such as Southend-on-Sea, the birdwatcher’s paradise of the Fens and Cambridge’s hallowed halls of academia \u2013 there’s something for everyone along England’s eastern edge.<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Greater London<\/strong>
\nThe cosmopolitan capital and by far the largest city in Britain, London is in fact the biggest and most diverse city in the whole of Europe. Attractions range from Buckingham Palace to the 2012 Olympic Park with an assortment of historic and modern landmarks and some of the world’s most highly regarded museums and cultural institutions.<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 North East England<\/strong>
\nHome of Hadrian’s Wall, the Durham Cathedral and Castle World Heritage Site as well as Newcastle with its world famous and youthful nightlife, England’s north east offers a taste of the best in Britain and serves as an excellent gateway to Scotland.
\n
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 North West England<\/strong>
\nBucolic Lancashire, rockin’ Manchester, Liverpool, Chester, the Lake District and more: there’s more than one great reason why this is England’s most visited region outside of London.<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 South East England<\/strong>
\nStretching beyond the outer fringes of London to classic and fun seaside towns like Brighton, historic sites such as Windsor Castle and Oxford University and family friendly attractions along the lines of Legoland, South East England is an ideal vacation destination within easy reach of London’s major airports just without the urban grind.<\/p>\n


\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 South West England<\/strong>
\nThe land of Cheddar cheese, Cornish pasties, Devonshire clotted cream and more \u2013 south-western England is as delicious as it is scenic. What to do when you’re not dining on the local delicacies? Visit one of this area’s vast stretches of isolated beaches, ramble through a twee village or simply relax while taking in some of the best weather in the UK.<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 West Midlands<\/strong>
\nThe so called Heart of England and with good reason! From the Black Country and the \u201ccradle of the Industrial Revolution\u201d to Shakespeare’s hometown of Stratford-upon-Avon and the bustle of Birmingham, the West Midlands present the opportunity to travel back in time and discover the roots of English culture without giving up on modern conveniences.<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Yorkshire and the Humber<\/strong>
\nOutdoor enthusiasts and fans of history will love a visit to the northern region of England. Yorkshire and the Humber is home to the magnificent York Minister, ancient Viking settlements and Roman ruins, the Dales, the Moors and an evocative coast.<\/p>\n
