England is the largest and most populous of the three
countries that make up mainland United Kingdom. England
is well set up for the independent traveller with
a plethora of sights and experiences to offer. From
London - one of the most vibrant, expensive,
hip, cosmopolitan capital cities in the world - you
can hop on a bus, train or plane to reach gently rolling
green countryside, lakes, rivers, and beaches. There
are thousands of religious monuments to see including
the early stone circles such as Stonehenge
and cathedrals such as York Minster and Canterbury
Cathedral.
Welsh culture is more than just rugby and male voice
choirs. Wales has much to offer the outdoor enthusiast,
from beautiful rugged coastlines to snow-capped mountains
like Mount Snowdon, the region's highest at
a mere 3560 feet. Cycling, hiking, kayaking (known
as canoeing here), horse riding, rock climbing and
mountain biking are all activities on offer in the
Welsh countryside.
