Trip Summary
2 nights in London
London offers everything! Iconic landmarks, centuries of history, world-class shopping and achingly cool fashion, arts and food scenes. A 40-minute walk along the South Bank will take you past Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament, the London Eye, Tate Modern, Shakespeare's Globe, St Paul's Cathedral and Tower Bridge. There are eight Royal Parks to explore, and over 300 museums and galleries. It is home to 60 Michelin starred restaurants and fantastic street food. The evenings offer from high-end nightclubs of Chelsea and Mayfair to cool clubs in Soho and Camden. As for theatre, London's legendary West End boasts over 40 world-class theatres.
Visit Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament, Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, the London Eye, Trafalgar Square, Kensington Gardens, Hyde Park, the British Museum, Piccadilly Circus and so much more!
1 nights in Stratford-upon-Avon
Arguably the greatest writer in the English language was William Shakespeare, who was born in the market town of Stratford-upon-Avon in 1564. Now a bustling city of over 25,000 people that sees over two million visitors a year, the Stratford of Shakespeare's day was little more than a village. The main attractions within the town include the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust and two contemporary buildings, Hall's Croft (the one-time home of Shakespeare's daughter, Susannah) and New Place, the latter built on the site of an earlier house where the playwright died in 1616.
Visit Shakespeare's Birthplace, Anne Hathaway's Cottage, Holy Trinity Church, Stratford Butterfly Farm, Hall's Croft, Tudor World, Shakespeare's Funerary, Shakespeare`s Schoolroom and Guildhall, Shakespeare's New Place, Nash`s House, Charlecote Park, Mary Arden's Farm, The Falstaff's Experience, Gower Memorial, and so much more!
2 nights in York
Its impressive history makes York an important tourist attraction. It is still encircled by its 13th and 14th-century city walls. You can find here important marks left by all remarkable European civilizations -- the Romans, the Saxons, the Vikings, the Normans -- among which the most important are the enclosing city walls and the largest European Gothic cathedral -- York Minster. The City Walls form a walkway on both sides of the River Ouse.
Explore York Minster, National Railway Museum York, Jorvik Viking Centre, Clifford's Tower, The Shambles, York Castle, York City Walls, Yorkshire Museum, The York Dungeon, Beningbrough Hall, Treasurer's House, Allerton Castle, and so much more!
1 nights in Windermere
Situated entirely within in the Lake District National Park, Windermere is the largest natural lake in England. It has been one of the country`s most popular places for holidays and summer homes since 1847. For many years, power-boating and water-skiing have been popular activities on the lake. It`s surrounded by mountain peaks and villages, including Bowness-on-Windermere, where The World of Beatrix Potter Attraction has modern displays on the children`s writer. In the north, trails lead to Orrest Head, a hill with views across the lake and the fells beyond, and Holehird Gardens, with their alpines, heathers and shrubs.
Explore Windermere Jetty Museum, The World of Beatrix Potter, White Cross Bay, Wray Castle, Brockhole on Windermere, Blackwell House, Claife Heights, Bowness-on-Windermere, Holehird Gardens, Orrest Head, and so much more!
2 nights in Manchester
The world`s first industrialized city, Manchester is now England`s second city with a cultural life to rival that of London. The city boasts some of the most interesting galleries and museums in the UK, such as the Museum of Science and Industry, the Whitworth for modern art, the City Art Gallery, the Lowry and the Imperial War Museum North. Manchester is well known for the Manchester City and Manchester United football teams. The Castlefield conservation area`s 18th-century canal system recalls the city`s days as a textile powerhouse, and visitors can trace this history at the interactive Museum of Science & Industry.
Visit The Museum of Science and Industry, The Whitworth, City Art Gallery, The Lowry, Imperial War Museum North, Etihad Stadium, Old Trafford, National Football Museum, Manchester Museum, Manchester Cathedral, MediaCityUK, Salford Quays, Lyme Park, Manchester United Museum, and so much more!
American travelers cannot get enough of England, and to this day it consistently ranks in the three most popular European countries in terms of visitors per year. Nearly everyone visits London, one of the world`s most important cities and the epicenter of what was once a vast world empire, but England should definitely be explored in-depth, from the charm of the Cotswolds to the seaside resorts on the English Channel and the Irish Sea to the beautiful landscapes of the Lake District, the Yorkshire Dales, and the Westcountry. England is a country where the present day and over a millennia of history routinely intersect.
