Given the ongoing global health situation, it may seem a little strange to be discussing tourism, and this year’s English Tourism Week celebrations are happening virtually instead of in-person. However, English tourism will need our support in the coming months. Some resorts and businesses are reopening as I type, while others will be closed for a while more. With this in mind, please respect local community’s requests regarding whether or not it is safe to visit. In the meantime, we look back at a few posts highlighting favourite spots around the country.
England’s Beaches
You’re never far from the coast in England and so whether you want a family day out for sandcastle-building or a quiet stroll among the dunes, you have plenty of options.

Celebrating its role as the birthplace of British tourism in 2020, Ross-on-Wye is still as charming a location as the one that attracted William Gilpin 250 years ago.

They inspired Wordsworth’s poetry, and some of Arthur Ransome’s most popular stories. How will the Lake District inspire you?

More than just a departure point for the continent, Dover’s iconic white cliffs have bore witness to centuries of England’s history.
