WELCOME TO ENGLAND
ANCIENT CASTLES, ROLLING GREEN HILLS, AND VIBRANT CITIES
Located in the southern part of the United Kingdom, England is a country that exudes history, culture, and natural beauty.
We think of England as our “second home” because Lee lived in London most of his life and we still visit regularly to see his family. We are on a mission to explore each of the counties in-depth, so you’ll likely find more content on this site about England than any other place… maybe even more than our home country, Canada!
Explore the iconic city of London, a global metropolis where tradition meets modernity. Visit world-famous landmarks like the Tower of London, Buckingham Palace, and the majestic Big Ben. Immerse yourself in the cultural treasures of the British Museum and enjoy the arts and theatre scene in the West End.
Beyond the capital, England’s countryside offers picturesque landscapes and charming villages. Discover the idyllic beauty of the Cotswolds, with its honey-coloured stone cottages, or venture to the stunning Lake District for outdoor adventures amidst serene lakes and rugged fells.
England’s history is palpable as you explore ancient cities like Bath, with its well-preserved Roman baths, and the university town of Oxford, where centuries-old colleges stand proud.
The English coastline is dotted with coastal gems, from the white cliffs of Dover to the sandy shores of Cornwall. Explore the charming seaside towns and enjoy traditional fish and chips with a sea view.
Whether you’re interested in history, nature, or city escapades, our articles will help you plan an unforgettable journey through this enchanting country.
