England is the largest and most populous of the four countries, which form the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (UK). It covers an area of about 50,000 square miles and the population is around 50 million with the capital city of London and home to the 2012 Olympics.
Explore the great cathedrals of Durham and Canterbury and the largest monastic ruin in Britain, Fountains Abbey. Follow in the footsteps of Roman invaders and make a trip to Hadrian's Wall. Relive the industrial heritage of the first country embarked on an industrial revolution and visit Derwent Valley Mills, Saltaire, Ironbridge or the Cornwall and West Devon mining Landscape from where mining technologies spread across the world.
Dating back an amazing 5,000 years, Stonehenge, the famous megalithic monument, has drawn visitors for literally millennia and a United Nation's World heritage site. Visit the city of Bath, famous for its associations with Jane Austen, to see its ancient Roman Baths, the elegant Pulteney Bridge, gorgeous Georgian architecture and Bath Abbey. The Dorset and East Devon Coast, also known as The Jurassic Coast was the first ever site to be inscribed as a 'natural' World Heritage Site. It spans 95 miles of dramatic coastline that's exposed to provide an almost continuous geological 'walk through time' spanning 185 million years of the Earth's history.
The land of majestic medieval castles, historic stately homes and magnificent cathedrals. William Shakespeare said it best, "This royal throne of kings, this sceptred isle, this blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England"
