Destination guide

Attractions for all in exciting England

With sprawling countryside dotted with postcard-perfect villages and cutting-edge cities brimming with history and innovation, England hardly requires an introduction. For every traveler who makes a beeline for Big Ben or the gardens of Windsor Castle, there's another who heads straight to Liverpool's revitalized waterfront, the ancient remains of Stonehenge or the mythical landscapes of the Lake District. With its sporting prowess, lively arts scene and royal appeal, England serves up a little something for everyone. Whether you're looking for a plush city pad or a cozy country cottage, England vacation rentals are equally diverse.

Things to do

Natural delights in England

Away from the bustling capital and quirky seaside resorts, the green countryside, fine scenery and grand views offer a different flavor of England. The Lake District National Park, the country's largest, earns its stripes as a World Heritage Site, courtesy of a landscape of high fells and glistening glacial lakes. Further south, Dartmoor National Park features stone circles, iconic wild ponies and swaths of moorland carpeted in heather. For fun-loving families, a trip to the award-winning Trentham Estate in Stoke-on-Trent offers open-air art, fairy hunting and the chance to walk alongside the Monkey Forest's Barbary macaques.

Activities

London sights and seaside escapes in England

Want to check out London's landmarks before heading elsewhere? Big Ben, The Houses of Parliament and the opulent Buckingham Palace are all to be found in the capital. Guided walking tours exploring the top spots are always available, with alternative routes offering the chance to discover the city through the eyes of the infamous Jack the Ripper or the brutal Kray twins. If an escape from city life is on the agenda, England vacation rentals in the coastal towns of Southwold and Bournemouth, set against a backdrop of brightly-painted beach huts, fish and chips and cheeky postcards, are just the thing.

Weather

England is an all-season destination

The weather in England may not have the best reputation, but visitors in the summer months shouldn't have too much to worry about. The temperature is often at its highest in the south, making England vacation rentals in Cornwall and Devon a good bet for sunseekers. For those whose top priority is getting a great deal, off-season travel between November and March, combined with the country's diverse selection of indoor attractions, make winter a viable option. Visits in spring and fall also have plenty to offer, not least comfortable temperatures and reasonable rental rates.

Natural features

Find pristine landscapes in England

England's landscape is undoubtedly one of its finest features. Beach lovers find nirvana at sandy spots such as Devon's Woolacombe Beach and Norfolk's Burnham Overy Staithe, while travelers keen to catch a glimpse of the country's charming countryside could do worse than take a train ride on the Cotswold line, an 86-mile route between Oxford and Hereford that boasts views of the River Severn and the Malvern Hills. Additional treats for outdoors types include the naturally-formed Brimham Rocks in North Yorkshire and Somerset's Cheddar Gorge, a spectacular ravine serving up show caves, climbing and cliff-top walks.
