England offers a vast array of gay travel options, which is one of the reasons that it continually remains among the most popular LGBT vacation destinations in the world. With a highly visible LGBT community, numerous events throughout the year and a much greater equality than that given to the LGBT community in the U.S., England is the perfect setting for LGBT vacations. Between the enticing London club scene, the restful shores of Brighton, the beautiful English countryside and the diverse urban landscapes, LGBT travel tourists of all kinds will delight in the LGBT vacation options that England provides.

Old Compton Street and the Soho district of London is the center of LGBT life and is a must-see for any LGBT traveler on a vacation to England. With a multitude of bars, businesses, restaurants and clubs, Soho has the most active, visible community in England. Soho is also centrally located near many of London's landmarks and world-famous neighborhoods, such as Chelsea, Kensington, Piccadilly Circus, Leicester Square and Covent Garden. Plus, thanks to an expansive public transportation system, all of London's offerings are easily accessible from this neighborhood. For travelers heading north, Manchester has another large LGBT community, including a village around Canal Street that offers numerous gay bars, pubs and clubs.

For a seaside vacation, Brighton, aka Soho by the Sea, is home to the country's second largest LGBT community. Stroll along the pier, spend an afternoon on the famous pebble beach and explore the many unique boutiques and shops before heading to Kempton for dinner and a night on the town in this popular neighborhood in Brighton. Newcastle Gateshead is yet another LGBT-friendly option for a vacation in England and offers a bit of style and sophistication with a thriving scene complete with a village full of bars, clubs, cafés and pubs.

Travelers will find LGBT-owned and LGBT-friendly accommodations in all of England's regions, including establishments that exclusively serve the LGBT travel community or specifically gay men. LGBT travelers who choose to work with a travel agency well-versed in planning vacations in England will benefit from working with a travel agent who can suggest the LGBT-friendly or LGBT-owned hotel, bed and breakfast or other lodgings option that will best meet your needs. If camping is on the agenda for your England vacation, LGBT-owned and LGBTy-friendly campgrounds are available, including Out in the Open, a LGBT-owned campsite in Cornwall, and Brighthouse Farm, offering a six-acre campground, bed and breakfast and self-catering lodgings in Suffolk.

An England vacation planned with the assistance of a professional travel agency dedicated to arranging LGBT travel is sure to be one of the greatest vacations of your life.

If you were in the market for taking your loved one on one of the many romantic breaks to choose from, you may well have a challenging task ahead of you. England offers a variety of landscapes and cityscapes in which to walk hand in hand with your special someone. This article intends to look at the relative merits of a number of locations across the counties of England, that lend themselves to romantic breaks.

London is of course high on the list of possible destinations when it comes to romantic breaks. The city offers a wealth of hotels - and naturally hotels are often an integral part of any break with a partner. As well as this the city also boasts lots of attractions to keep you both entertained whilst you're there.

But for many couples, heading out into the English countryside promises the level of relaxation they want from their romantic breaks. The Lake District is a very popular destination, offering as it does a wide range of hotels and guests houses set amongst its many attractive hills and mountains.

Even if you don't plan to put on your hiking boots and climb one if the various peaks, there is a multitude of activities for you both to try. Romantic breaks don't all have to involve restaurants and gentle strolls - they might also involve windsurfing, or horse riding - or even jet skiing. The Lake District may well provide all sorts.

The countryside of Devon is also well known for being a good place for romantic breaks. It is best known perhaps for the Dartmoor National Park, which boasts one of the last remaining true wildernesses in England. Here you and your partner would be able to stay in a range of pleasant guest houses and bed and breakfasts nestled in the folds of the pretty hills and moorland. Rivers wend their way through the park area, past forests, moorland, ponies and quaint little villages here and there.

Yorkshire is another option that might be considered by those looking for ideal locations for romantic breaks. Here you will also find a great deal of rolling hills and countryside, together with a lot of bed and breakfast and hotel options. As well as the pretty and typically English countryside, where there's a lot of outdoor fun to be had, you'll also find that the coast of Yorkshire offers up some treats too. Whitby and Scarborough both offer history and attractive surroundings.

These are just a few options for those trying to decide upon a destination for romantic breaks - wherever you go, England is likely to provide a suitable place to get loved up.
