England is one of the four countries that make up the United Kingdom and is located north of France. England attracts millions of visitors each year to see its historical sites, particularly in London, which attracts over 15 million visitors each year.

The centre of London features several sites that are known throughout the world and each is as interesting as they are historic. Buckingham Palace is home to the Monarch and visitors flock each year to see the world famous palace guards, particularly during the changing of the guard.

The Tower of the London was once a prison and today is the home of the Crown Jewels, of which there are over 23,000. Visitors will explore the history of the tower including attempts to steal the jewels and exhibitions to some of the famous inmates, Guy Fawkes and Anne Boleyn to name but two.

Perhaps the most iconic symbol of London and indeed all of England and the United Kingdom is Big Ben, the clock tower of Westminster Palace. The Palace is the seat of democracy in the UK and its primary business is to debate and approve law and challenge government. The public can often watch the debates, the most notable is Prime Ministers Questions, which can become a rowdy affair and can tour the building during the summer.

Outside of London, England still has many interesting cities and attractions. Stonehenge is a popular attraction, built thousands of years ago; the stones are of particular interest to Neo Pagans and Druids who flock to the stones each year during the summer solstice. The historic city of Bath is another interesting place to visit. It was founded by the Romans around 60 AD and is home, as its name suggests, to the Roman Baths for which the city was originally built.

There is a wide variety of self catering holiday accommodation in England ranging from flats and houses to rent on the coast to quaint cottages in the West Country and the Lake District.
