England charms without even trying—rolling hills, seaside villages and countryside straight out of a Jane Austen fever dream. Cycle coastal Cornwall, ramble through the Lakes or sip your way through the Cotswolds. With farm-fresh feasts, cosy manor stays and just the right amount of literary name-dropping, this is England with all the polish and none of the pretence.

Good to know

Accommodation
Not all hotels have air conditioning, especially historic boutique hotels in the countryside. Fans will be provided during the rare instances of very hot weather, and windows can be opened overnight to help cool the rooms. If air conditioning is essential for your stay, please let your Experience Designer know.

Food
The English have a fondness for pubs and many of our meals will be enjoyed within the charming, honey-stoned walls of historic inns. Prepare for hearty pies and puddings, though lighter options will always be available.

Time of year
In June, you'll experience nearly 18 hours of daylight, with the sun rising before 5am and setting around 10pm. If you're keen to see the sunrise over Stonehenge, be prepared for an early start.
