England has a wealth of things to do and activities to try. You’ll no doubt start your adventure in one of England’s great cities, where arts and culture sit alongside heritage landmarks. But it’s not all history and culture – urban hubs are throbbing with redevelopments, as the outdated is replaced with the ever-more-advanced. Even museums have got in on this push into the future, with interactive displays appealing to all ages.

Away from the cities, England’s swathes of green and crystalline coast are a joy to nature lovers. The English love their sports, so join the chanting crowds at a football match, or find an activity so you can join the action yourself. You’ll struggle to fit it all in.
