10. Lake District The Lake District National Park is in North West England. It is the largest National Park in the country and is considered one of its most scenic regions and England's premier destination for hiking and climbing. The main attraction is the lakes and fells carved by glacial erosion and providing dramatic and inspiring scenery although much modified by man's intervention mainly by farming. 9. Cotswolds Villages The Cotswolds are a range of rolling hills in south central England. Designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in 1966; the area stretching south-west from just below Stratford-upon-Avon to just beyond Bath, is considered to have unique features derived from the local golden coloured limestone known as Cotswold stone. The predominantly rural landscape containing stone-built villages, historical towns, and stately homes and gardens, is known worldwide. 8. Coastal Cornwall Cornwall is a Duchy in the extreme south west of the UK and includes the Isles of Scilly, considered the mystical home of the legendary King Arthur. Its relatively warm climate, long coastline, amazing scenery, and diverse Celtic heritage go only part of the way to explaining its appeal. Cornwall is increasingly becoming a popular destination for those interested in cultural tourism due to its long association with visual and written arts, and enormous wealth of archaeology. 7. Oxford and Cambridge Oxford is the oldest university city in the United Kingdom. Together with Cambridge (the second oldest university city and Oxford's great rival), Oxford has long represented the English academic establishment and élite, a haven of tradition and endeavour. Oxford's famous "Dreaming Spires" refer to the medieval churches and colleges that dominate the bustling modern town in all their Gothic splendour. 6. Hadrian's Wall Hadrian's Wall was one of Ancient Rome's fortified borders, which gave the late Roman Empire security against the barbarians at its gates. Constructed and later garrisoned by soldiers drawn from all over the Roman world, the wall preserves an immense amount of military and civilian day-to-day life. 5. Bath Bath is a historic Roman and Georgian spa city. Bath is famous for its hot springs, Roman period baths, Medieval heritage and stately Georgian architecture. Set in the rolling Somerset countryside on the southern edge of the Cotswolds, Bathoffers a diverse range of attractions: restaurants, theatres, cinemas, pubs and nightclubs, along with interesting museums, and a wide range of guided tours. 4. Brighton and its Seafront Brighton is a famous seaside resort and charming city (on the south coast of England, in the county of East Sussex and almost immediately due south of the capital city London). In 2000, the two neighbouring communities of Brighton and Hove joined together to form the unitary authority of the City of Brighton and Hove. Known for its oriental architecture and large gay community. 3. Stonehenge and Avebury Stonehenge is in a World Heritage Site of over 2000 hectares that is considered one of the most archaeologically rich in Europe. It is home to some of the most important Neolithic and Bronze Age finds and structures in the UK, and contains some 200 scheduled monuments. It is also the site of one of the biggest Chalk grassland reversion projects in the world. 2. Yorkshire Dales The Yorkshire Dales are mainly in North Yorkshire. The area is a national park, world-famous for its picturesque combination of rolling hills, woodland, wild moorland, dramatic landscapes and gentle valleys that create unique and beautiful vistas. There are many opportunities for great walks and the lovely little Dales towns and villages provide a glimpse into traditional old-fashioned Yorkshire life. 1. London Noisy, vibrant and truly multicultural, London is a megalopolis of people, ideas and frenetic energy. The capital and largest city of the United Kingdom, it is also the largest city in Western Europe and the European Union. Situated on the River Thames in South-East England, Greater London has an official population of a little over 8 million, but the estimate of between 12 and 14 million people in the greater metropolitan area better reflects its size and importance. Considered one of the world's leading "global cities", London remains an international capital of culture, music, education, fashion, politics, finance and trade.
