Cities and Towns in South West England
Bath

Founded by Romans around the only naturally-occurring hot springs in the United Kingdom, Bath is one of the most beautiful cities in the country, and has been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Much of the architecture of Bath dates from the 18th century, and the city is famous for its many fine examples of Georgian architecture, most notably the Royal Crescent. Nowadays it is a fashionable spa resort.
Bournemouth
Bristol

Bristol is the largest city in the southwest of England, straddling the River Avon with a prosperous maritime history and an important center of culture. There are plenty of historical areas to visit including the suspension bridge, designed by Brunel; many Victorian and Georgian-era buildings; Queen Square, which is the second largest perfect square in Europe, and the former city-center port, the Harbourside, which is now a cultural hub. The city is famous for its music and film industries.
Cheltenham
Exeter
Gloucester

Gloucester, the county town of Gloucestershire, is situated on the River Severn, east of the Cotswolds and southwest of the Forest of Dean. Gloucester Cathedral, built on the site of a 7th-century abbey, is the burial site of King Edward II. Other points of interest include Medieval and Tudor-era buildings, including the only example of a Medieval courtyard inn with galleries left standing in Britain. The Docks district consists of cafés, restaurants and bars inside converted Victorian warehouses.

Regions of England
Northern England
Northern England is the quintessential English travel experience, offering both rural and urban vacation opportunities, ranging from such industrialized and vibrant cities as Manchester, Liverpool, and York, to the beauty of its national parks, like the Lake District, the Peak District, and the Yorkshire Dales.
The Midlands
The English Midlands are often overlooked but are alluring to travelers. The region is full of history; many cities were founded over two millennia ago, and are some of the oldest cities in England. The Midlands was the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution, helping to cement the British Empire`s global influence.
East Anglia
The history of East Anglia (Norfolk, Suffolk, and Cambridgeshire) is vivid and rich; the oldest structures still standing in England, dating from the Bronze Age, are located in East Anglia. A number of large, ornate former monasteries-turned-cathedrals dot Cambridgeshire, from Peterborough to Fenland and the Isle of Ely.
Thames River Valley
The Thames River flows for 215 miles, making it the longest river in England. The area along the Thames has been at the epicenter of much of England`s military and economic history, and has served an important role in the growth of England since the time of the Romans, evidenced from cities such as London, Oxford, and Windsor.
Experiences & Adventures
Charms of England

England is a country which combines geographic beauty, architectural splendor, and rich history to create a tourist experience which will stay with you for the rest of your life. Together, the three historic cities of Bath, Oxford, and Cambridge are the true Charms of England, and must be experienced to be truly appreciated.
English Seaside Resorts

Seaside resorts were the forerunners to today`s British tourism industry, and they still welcome millions of tourists annually after over 150 years in existence. Arguably the most popular of the seaside resorts in England are Brighton, Bournemouth, and Blackpool. Llandudno, a short train ride away in Wales, is also very popular.
Literary Heritage of the British Isles

The British Isles has a rich history of literary excellence. The history, fantasy, politics, romance, and tradition of the isles have been brought to life and evaluated by authors who span centuries. The canon of literature produced by authors from the British Isles illuminates historical narratives and literary innovations.
More to Explore
The Cotswolds
Explore quintessentially English villages of honey-colored stone; take in splendid, lively market towns, and visit some of the country`s greatest castles and country houses in the Cotswolds, a collection of small, rural villages with acclaimed reserves and some of the most breathtaking landscapes available in England.
Glamorgan
Glamorgan, situated due north of South West England, is one of the historic counties of Wales, and covers a large portion of its southern coast. There are more castles in Glamorgan than in perhaps any other region of Wales. Historically a big coal and steel-producing region, it is home to Wales`s two largest cities, Cardiff and Swansea.
South East England
South East England is a large and geographically diverse region, much of which sits in the Thames River Valley, and here you can experience such sights as the New Forest, the Chiltern Hills, and the White Cliffs of Dover, in addition to Blenheim Palace, Windsor Castle, Canterbury Cathedral, and the list goes on.

England and Beyond
SOUTH WEST ENGLAND

South West England is a relatively rural region of England, consisting of the counties of Gloucestershire, Wiltshire, Somerset, Dorset, Devon, Cornwall, and the city-county of Bristol. It is filled with exciting sights such as Stonehenge, the world-famous prehistoric stone circle which attracts 1.5 million visitors a year to rural Wiltshire; the Roman-era hot springs of Bath; the coasts of Dorset and east Devon, which showcase 185 million years of geological history in the collective form of beautiful beaches and rock formations; and the now-deserted tin mines that dot the coasts of west Devon and south Cornwall. All four of the aforementioned popular tourist attractions are UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The largest city in the region, Bristol, is known for the Clifton Suspension Bridge, which takes passengers on a scenic ride 300 feet over the Avon Gorge. Gloucester, on the River Severn, is home to Gloucester Cathedral, the burial site of King Edward II. Geographic diversity abounds in the South West, ranging from the rolling hills of The Cotswolds to the rocky coasts of Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly, located off Cornwall`s southwestern tip.
