England’s Top Seven Destinations

England is my number one must see European Destination. Why is this? Perhaps its that the English language is spoken. Perhaps its the history, but I think the truth of it is that it is where (along with the rest of the British Isles), a fair proportion of my ancestors came from and that I am familiar with much of the history already. Although my family has been down under for 6 generations a trip to England will be a return to ancient homelands and hence my first port of call on any trip to Europe.

Number One:

Ole London Towne. LONDON. The capital of England tops the list for so many reasons, the history, the culture, the food, the mass of humanity. It deserves a mini-list of top 7 itself, so here it is

The British Museum - thanks to its old empire days here lies one of the greatest collections of artifacts in the world. Who cares if it was stolen, pillaged, whatever - I'm just thankful that its been protected all in one place.

Buckingham Palace - no not visit what has at least on the outside to be one of the ugliest palace around - but to see the sights such as the changing of the guard

Westminster Abbey - one of the best looking grave yards in the world. The Gothic architecture, poets corner and the historical tombs and monuments. Whilst there a quick photo op over at the houses of parliament and Big Ben (which is the name of the bell)

The Tower of London - just to lust over crown jewels, or to listen to the Beefeaters tell a few yarns, at least I won't be entering through traitor's gate.

Saint Paul's Cathedral - more crypts and a beautiful place of worship.

The Royal Albert Hall - preferably visiting on the last night of the proms.

Hyde Park - the serpentine, the beautiful trees or just the spaces of green.

(Some would argue I've missed out the Art Galleries, great sites - Trafalgar Square, Madame Tussaud's, other museums, Tower bridge, the London eye - perhaps after a visit I might be able to better rate these).

Number Two:

Windsor Castle - a place fit to be a palace. Plus I have a thing for small dolls houses (Queens Mary's Doll House).

Number Three:

Bath - perhaps the closest you can get to Roman Britain. The thermal activity brought the Roman Baths. The Avon River, the gardens - all make a nice day trip.

Number Four:

York - The most 'medieval' town in England. York Minister, City walls, the museums - all just drip history.

Number Five:

Cambridge - it may be the nice buildings, the wealth of knowledge, the gardens, but I think its the thought of having a punt on the river that really attracts.

Number Six:

Stonehenge - although some would argue that its the most overrated collection of rocks, prehistoric doesn't get much older.

Number Seven:

The new Forrest -The chance to see deer, old oak trees, a 'natural' setting and a picnic what could be more English?
