More About London

From treasured landmarks to sipping afternoon tea, there is something for everyone in London. The Houses of Parliament with Big Ben, the giant clock and bell, on the banks of the Thames are the classic backdrop of London, with Westminster Abbey, the site of coronations and royal marriages, standing nearby. Enjoy panoramic views from Tower Bridge and visit the nearby Tower of London, with its rich history and the crown jewels of England. Speaking of royalty, catch the changing of the guards at Buckingham Palace, the residence of the reigning monarchs.

In central London, enjoy Trafalgar Square, the National Gallery, the British Museum, and St. Paul’s Cathedral. London also has a splendid array of markets to explore, like Covent Garden or Portobello Road on Notting Hill. And for evening entertainment, enjoy world-renowned theaters and lively clubs in London’s West End. With all this and more, the historic and vibrant European capital of London is an absolute must-see.

The heaviest tourist season runs mid-April through mid-October, with another peak around Christmas—though the tide never really ebbs. Spring is the time to see the countryside and the royal London parks and gardens at their freshest; fall to enjoy near-ideal exploring conditions. In late summer, be warned: air-conditioning is rarely found in places other than department stores, modern restaurants, hotels, and cinemas in London, and in a hot summer you'll swelter. Winter can be rather dismal, but all the theatres, concerts, and exhibitions go full speed.

It's virtually impossible to forecast London weather, but you can be fairly certain that it will not be what you expect. It's generally mild—with some savage exceptions, especially in summer. In short, be prepared for anything: layers and an umbrella are your friends.

More information about England

The patchwork countryside of England has gifted the country the nickname of the ‘ green and pleasant land ’, and it’s true that the rural parts of England are a haven of idyllic rolling fields and charming country villages. On the other hand, England is home to innovative cities and industrial centres, with vast urban sprawls and quaint historic towns. The capital, London , is a global metropolis, known for its royal heritage and stately architecture. If you travel to England , you’ll encounter a diverse range of people and landscapes, from modern cityscapes to medieval castles and rugged coastlines. 

England is part of the United Kingdom , along with Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland . One of the most popular destinations in Europe, a trip to England is the chance to walk in the footsteps of a variety of cultural icons, from Shakespeare to The Beatles or the infamous King Henry VIII ! Whilst the urban centres of Manchester, Leeds, Birmingham or Bristol take centre stage on a tour of England , if you venture off the beaten path you’ll find charming seaside towns, spectacular national parks and historic heritage sites scattered throughout this pocket-sized country.

One thing’s for sure, a vacation to England will be filled with historic sights and cultural treasures. From millennia-old stone circles to vast stately homes, at every turn, England unveils its complex and fascinating island story. With some of the best museums and galleries in the world, a diverse and delicious national cuisine and a well-connected transport network, take a trip to England to discover a small country with a big personality.

History of England

The early history of England is characterized as a story of invasion and conquest. Built between 5000 and 4000 years ago, Stonehenge is the most famous and ancient site in the country, a must-see if you travel to England. The Celts were one of the earliest known societies that settled in England , but around 43 AD , the Romans successfully invaded, incorporating  England into the Roman Empire . Relics of this era, such as the Roman town of Bath , Cirencester , Hadrian’s Wall and Fishbourne Roman Palace , are some of the most fascinating things to see on a tour of England . With the decline of the Roman Empire in the 5th-century , England was settled by seafaring Saxons , although both Celtic and Roman communities continued to flourish, particularly in the northern parts of the country. Between the 9th and 11th-centuries, England was subject to a number of surprise invasions by Vikings from Scandinavia, and if you visit the city of York , you’ll be able to trace this turbulent period in the island’s history. Finally, in 1066, the Norman conquest of England marked the end of the ongoing invasions and led to the signing of the legendary Magna Carta which guaranteed the rights of all free men. 

The Tudor period, with its notorious monarchs and gruesome religious conflicts, also saw the arrival of Renaissance culture. Historic buildings such as Hever Castle, Leeds Castle , the Tower of London or Hampton Court Palace are amazing places to visit to uncover the story of Tudor rule in England . The monarchy continued to be the most powerful force in the country up until the English Civil War of the 17th-century , which resulted in the creation of the Bill of Rights in 1689,  transferring power to Parliament. If you travel to Londo n, visiting the Houses of Parliament in Westminster is a fascinating insight into the history of democracy in England. 

The 18th-century saw the rise of the Industrial Revolution which dramatically changed society in England and spread throughout the world. Industrial centres such as Manchester grew in importance during this period. Whilst the 20th-century included two world wars , it also saw the cultural revolution of the ‘Swinging 60s’ and the rise of world-famous English musicians such as The Beatles and the Rolling Stones . A trip down Carnaby Street in London will whisk you back these heady days! 

Nature in England

Although England is known for its unpredictable weather, it’s not all grey skies and rain! The climate is mild, with cool winters and moderately warm summers, and it rains throughout the year, so be sure to pack an umbrella if you travel to England ! This temperate climate makes for a beautiful landscape, awash with greenery, wildflowers and wildlife. If you can escape the large cities, you’ll be rewarded with the peaceful charms of the countryside and the chance to get in touch with the England that inspired poets such as William Wordsworth and Robert Browing and painters such as John Constable and Turner. 

With a coastline of almost 20,000 miles and 10 national parks , there are plenty of natural wonders to explore on a vacation to England. A UNESCO World Heritage Site , the Lake District is home to some of the spectacular and characteristic landscapes in England. From the tranquil waters of Lake Windermere to the towering peak of Scafell Pike , the Lake District is a land of dramatic natural beauty. 

For idyllic beaches and sandy coves, you can’t beat the coastlines of Devon and Cornwall , England’s most popular summer destination. You could even mistake these beautiful beaches for the Mediterranean when the sun is shining! Surfing is particularly popular in these parts of the country. 

For that quintessential English countryside of your imagination, you can’t beat the county of Kent , known as the ‘Garden of England’ . Manicured flower gardens, rolling meadows and patchwork farmlands set a picturesque scene for countryside walks or laid-back picnics, whilst the Kent coastline is known for its eye-catching white cliffs of Dover and pebblestone beaches.

When it comes to wildlife, you’ll find an abundance of bird and animal species if you know where to look! A number of deer parks are scattered throughout the country, whilst a trip to the countryside is a paradise for bird-watchers. Even in the most developed urban areas, green spaces are abundant, with London alone boasting around 3,000 public parks!

Culture in England

What would a vacation to England be without a night spent in a cozy old-world pub or a delicious afternoon tea? Indeed, England is known for its social and gastronomic traditions, be it a pint with friends, or a traditional Sunday roast dinner with family. Despite this, English culture is ever-evolving, a product of its diverse population. You’re just as likely to find a fish and chip shop on the high street as you are to find an Indian restaurant or a French bakery. This is the essence of modern English culture, a smorgasbord of influences from around the world, in some part the product of the days of the British Empire. 

Culture, in all its forms, is highly valued here, just take a look at the amazing museums, countless art galleries and well-preserved heritage sites found throughout England . From the world-renowned British Museum in London, home to some of the most precious historical treasures in the world, to the Cavern Club in Liverpool , a place of pilgrimage for music lovers, the English celebrate and preserve their cultural heritage with pride and passion. 

England also has rich folkloric traditions, with characters such as Robin Hood and King Arthur featuring heavily in the popular imagination. Nowadays, England is known for its music, literature and arts and cinema, and wherever you are in the world, it’s likely that you’re familiar with at least some English musicians, artists or writers.

Learn about the history of the Buckingham Palace

You’re in for a royal time at Buckingham Palace, the official London residence of the British royal family since 1837. It’s one of the most iconic places to visit in London, and we’ll take you to marvel at this magnificent palace, learn about it’s centuries-old history, and perhaps even wave to the King if he’s home.

Ramble through London's picturesque Royal Parks

Go on a shopping spree around Carnaby Street and Soho

We’ll dive into London’s West End with a tour around the buzzing borough of Soho, where you’ll get a taste of London’s diverse culture, history and cuisine.

See the stately Changing of the Guard

You’ll watch history come alive when we take you to Buckingham Palace to witness the spectacular Changing of the Guard ceremony. It’s a full-on display of royal pomp and military tradition, with the soldiers of The Queen’s Guard in bearskin hats and bright-red uniforms marching down the Mall, and you can’t miss it on your London trip.

Our top 5 things to do in London

With an overwhelming number of iconic London attractions to explore, where to begin? When you travel London with Trafalgar, we’ll show you all the very best of the city.

Tate Modern

As one of the world’s largest museums of modern and contemporary art, the Tate Modern is an unmissable London attraction. You’ll find everything here from vibrant artworks to films and performance art, and you can’t miss the giant Turbine Hall, a five-storey tall room used to display extraordinarily large art installations.

If you’ve ever wanted to learn the history of this great city, the Museum of London is the place to go. It’s the world’s largest urban history collection and you’ll learn all about England’s capital from prehistoric to modern times.

Cottage Pie

It doesn’t get more comforting than a traditional cottage pie, and you’ve got to order this English staple at least once in a classic London pub. It’s been a beloved dish for generations, originating as a clever way to make a hearty meal from leftovers like beef, peas and carrots, topped with creamy mashed potatoes.

Cornish Pasty

Make a beeline for the nearest bakery in London and discover these little pockets of deliciousness. They’re made from shortcrust pastry stuffed with beef, potatoes, swede, onion and egg, then baked until golden, forming a rich gravy inside its own tasty casing. You’re sure to go back for more than just one Cornish pasty!

Named after the prestigious boys’ boarding school of the same name, this simple yet delicious treat is made from a refreshing blend of cream, strawberries and crushed meringue. It’s a classic British dessert and you can even try it at The National Café at the National Gallery, one of the best art museums in London.

Best food in London

Our London tours are big on foodie experiences, and you can go from a traditional English afternoon tea, to a delicious culinary adventure through Chinatown in the West End.

What to pack for London

Waterproof coat

London is known for its drizzles and rain showers, so pack a waterproof coat or travel-sized umbrella to keep your dry and warm on your London trip.

Comfortable shoes

This city was made for walking, and with so many incredible monuments, museums, parks and markets to explore, you’ll need a sturdy pair of shoes to get you around London.

Camera & extra SD cards

From Big Ben to the London Eye, your camera is sure to get a good workout. Pack some extra SD cards so you never run out of space to capture all of London’s pinch-me moments.

Waterproof day bag

Keep your hands free on your London tours with a waterproof day pack, perfect for holding all your shopping and souvenirs and keeping them dry in wet weather.

Warm layers

London is known for experiencing four seasons in one day, so it’s best to wear layers that will keep you warm in the cold weather and cool when the sun comes out.

Suggested Sightseeing

On The Map: Oxford Street runs for approx. 1.5 miles from Marble Arch (at the north east corner of Hyde Park), through Oxford Circus to St Giles Circus Nearest Tube Stops: Marble Arch, Bond Street & Oxford Circus, all served by the Central Line.

Oxford Street is a major road in the West End of London, and is Europe's busiest shopping street, boasting more than 300 shops. Oxford Street follows the route of an ancient Roman road, (the Via Trinobantina), which linked Hampshire with Colchester and became one of the major routes in and out of London City. In the late 18th century, much of the surroundng area was purchased and developed by the Earl of Oxford. It initially became popular with entertainers, including bear-baiters, and for entertainment houses, such as The Pantheon. During the 19th century, the area became known for its shops, a trend that has continued apace ever since. It is the biggest shopping street within Inner London, and forms part of a larger shopping district with Regent Street, Bond Street and a number of other smaller nearby streets. The street is home to a number of major department stores and numerous flagship stores, as well as hundreds of smaller shops. Of particular note is Hamley's on Regent Street. Opened in 1760, Hamley's is the oldest, largest and most famous toy shop in the world.

The British Museum is a museum dedicated to human history, art, and culture, located in the Bloomsbury area of London. Its permanent collection, numbering some 8 million works, is among the largest and most comprehensive in existence and originates from all continents, illustrating and documenting the story of human culture from its beginnings to the present. World-famous objects such as the Rosetta Stone, Parthenon sculptures, and Egyptian mummies are visited by up to six million visitors per year. As with all other national museums in the United Kingdom it charges no admission fee, except for loan exhibitions.

Overnight Location

On The Map: London is in Southeastern England, next to the River Thames and 50 miles from its estuary on the North Sea. Its main highway, the M25, surrounds the city at a radius of 20 miles from London’s center. Kent, Surrey, and Berkshire are south of the River Thames, while Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire, and Essex are north. Greater London is 607 square miles with a population of 8,200,000. The city is 211 miles south of York and 77 miles from Dover.

The capital of the United Kingdom, London is one of the world’s great cities. It is almost 2,000 years old and its cultural diversity, combined with its history, makes it a dream to visit. London grew from a walled settlement founded by the Romans in the 1st century BC. Across the bridge, on the south bank, Southwark became known for its monasteries, hospitals, fairs, inns, and the theaters of Elizabethan London, including Shakespeare’s Globe Theater. Westminster, on the south bend of the Thames, grew around an abbey followed by a palace, government buildings, parks, and fashionable neighborhoods.

On our Small Group Secret Food Tour: London Bridge, you'll enjoy a variety of classic British foods such as award-winning Fish & Chips, World Famous Sausage Rolls and traditional Bacon & Egg Baps, tasters from street food vendors, English cheeses paired with local beer/cider and try a classic British Dessert alongside a Fresh Pot of Tea. Plus, with all our tours, there is our Secret Dish, which you can only find out about on the day.

As locals, we are wildly passionate about all the delicious food found around this world-famous and historical city. It is true that English food has a bit of a bad reputation, however we are here to challenge that view. Just wait until you try our food. Once eaten even the most discerning food critic will change their mind!

First, you'll eat a bacon and egg bap in the famous Borough Market followed by a stop for award-winning fish and chips. Next up, sample the best traditional sausage roll in town followed by a visit to a historic pub, to try a selection of British cheeses served with fruit, crackers, and chutney washed down with English cider. Finally indulge with a classic English dessert, served with a pot of refreshing breakfast tea. And of course, there will be a Secret Dish!

Ever wondered what London would look like at night? Well, simply stunning! And what’s better than seeing the beautifully lit sights of London on our distinct yellow, open­top, double-decker buses? To see the illuminated sights of the Tower of London, Tower Bridge, St. Paul’s Cathedral, Big Ben & The Houses of Parliament, The famous London Eye, Piccadilly, and Harrods... you'll be mesmerized.  A perfect way to end a marvelous night in London, or even a perfect way to start it. 

See London By Night is a must­ have experience; with its luminescent style and relaxed, contemporary vibe, London at night is unquestionably the city for everyone.Offering vast seating, picture­ perfect scenery and live guided tours to inform and entertain you, and make your trip as exceptional as possible.

On The Map: The Tower of London is located on the north bank of the River Thames in central London. Nearest Tube Stop: Tower Hill - served by the Northern and Jubilee Lines

At Tower of London, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, you’ll see the Crown Jewels, Yeoman Warders, mysterious Ravens and, of course, the magnificent White Tower. The Tower was built on the River Thames by William the Conqueror. Its purpose was to protect London and to assert the city’s importance and power. Inside you’ll find a unique Romanesque Chapel, the 11th century Chapel of Saint John the Evangelist. You’ll also find the Royal Armouries Collections. 

The Crown Jewels have been displayed in the Tower of London for nearly 400 years. This is an extraordinary collection of 24,000 gemstones and are used in present royal ceremonies, including the Coronation Spoon and St. Edward’s Crown.  Still under armed guard, listen to the stories of their past, who wore them, and what makes them important.

The Tower Ravens are known as The Guardians. It is said that if the Ravens leave, the Tower will fall. Charles II is the first to insist that the Ravens be protected. Ravens are mythic, intelligent birds, and the tower has a Ravenmaster in charge of assuring their continued health and well-being.  

We know the Yeoman Warders by their more common name, “The Beefeaters.” Take a tour with one of the Yeoman and you’ll hear stories steeped in 1,000 years of history. Palace intrigue, betrayals, great loves, tragedy, those imprisoned at the Tower, and illicit liaisons… ask your Beefeater questions!

On The Map: Tower Bridge crossed the River Thames just east of London Bridge and in close proximity to the Tower of London Nearest Tube Stop: Tower Hill - served by the Circle and District Lines

Tower Bridge is a combined bascule and suspension bridge over the River Thames and in close proximity to the Tower of London, from which it takes its name. Officially opened on June 30, 1894 by The Prince of Wales (future King Edward VII), Tower Bridge has become an iconic symbol of London. The bridge is 800 feet in length with the two towers each reaching 213 feet high, built upon submerged concrete piers. The 200 foot central span is split into two equal 'bastules', which can be raised to an angle of 86 degrees to allow river traffic to pass. The Bridge's present colour scheme dates from 1977, when it was painted red, white and blue for Queen Elizabeth II's Silver Jubilee. The high level walkway of the Bridge was closed in 1910, as it had become a favorite hang-out spot for local prostitutes and pick-pockets. In 1982, the walkway was reopened, and now welcomes visitors. The exhibition uses films, photos and interactive displays to explain why and how Tower Bridge was built. Visitors can access the original steam engines that once powered the bridge bascules, housed in a building close to the south end of the bridge.

On The Map: Big Ben is located in the very heart of Central London, adjacent to the British Houses of Parliament. Nearest Tube Stop: Westminster - served by the Circle, District & Jubilee Lines, is located right beside Big Ben. When the Palace of Westminster was destroyed by fire in October 1934, it was decided that the new neo-gothic style Palace should include an imposing and impressive clock tower. Thus, one of England's most famous & instantly recognizable landmarks came to be. Interestingly, although the name Big Ben is commonly used to describe the tower, it was initially given to the Great Bell within the tower. The tower itself, which lies to the north of the Houses of Parliament, is officially known as the Elizabeth Tower, and was completed in 1859. The Great Clock started on May 31, with the Great Bell's peals being heard for the first very time on July 11. It is the second largest four-faced chiming clock in the world,after that of Minneapolis City Hall, and is famed for it's unerring time-keeping accuracy. The hands of the clock are 9 and 14 feet in length, and the Great Bell (Big Ben!) weighs-in at 13 tons. Although it is possible to tour the Houses of Parliament, the Elizabeth Tower is closed to visitors. But with no lift, and 334 steps to the top, this may not be such a bad thing!

On The Map: Westminster Abbey is located in the very heart of Central London, adjacent to Big Ben. Nearest Tube Stop: Westminster - served by the Circle, District & Jubilee Lines, is located just 0.2 miles north of Westminster Abbey.

Westminster Abbey is one of the world’s great churches, with a history stretching back over a thousand years. Paying a visit is truly an essential part of any trip to London. Kings & Queens, Poets & Heroes - all are represented at the Abbey - and it has many fascinating tales to tell. Westminster has long been the traditional venue for the coronation of English Monarchs, as well as their final resting place. The current, wonderful 700-year-old building is literally brimming with amazing artifacts and stunning craftsmanship. Of particular note is The Lady Chapel, begun in 1503, and constructed at the expense of Henry VII. It is regarded as the last great masterpiece of English medieval architecture, and in 1545 was heralded as "the wonder of the entire world". The outstanding feature of the chapel is the spectacular fan-vaulted roof with carved pendants. The spectacular Waterford Crystal chandeliers in The Nave were a gift from the Guinness family, in honor of the Abbey's 900th anniversary in 1965. In front of the High Altar is another of the Abbey's treasures - a marble pavement dating from 1268. The method of its decoration is known as Cosmati work, after the Italian family who developed the technique. Audio guides are available in 12 languages, and the highly-popular Verger-led tour is also an option on-site. Westminster Abbey is usually open to visitors from Monday to Saturday throughout the year.

Today is yours to explore London at your leisure. Perhaps you are aching to revisit something you have seen in the past couple of days, or maybe you would enjoy some classic British shopping. May we suggest heading to Borough Market - London’s most renowned food and drink market - to enjoy a light lunch and browse the stalls. You can even pick out a picnic lunch and head to one of London’s many parks - we suggest Hyde Park, Regent’s Park, and Greenwich Park! For those looking to be entertained, check out London’s West End - home to spectacular shopping streets and a world-famous theatre district - and catch a Broadway show. No matter how you wish to spend your day at leisure, London is sure to deliver something special. 

Covent Garden, Greater London

On the map: Covent Garden, located in London’s West End, is a must-see for anyone interested in shopping, theatre, dining, history and culture. With an endless amount of things to see and do, visitors can spend multiple days in the Covent Garden area. Head to the London Transport Museum to discover the powerful link between transport and the growth of modern London, its culture and society since 1800. Check out Somerset House - a neo-classical building sitting between the Strand and the river Thames. Catch a Royal Opera performance or enjoy a guided tour at the Royal Opera House - also home to the Royal Ballet. If shopping is your cup of tea, the area is home to some of the best shopping in London - from Tom Ford and Mulberry, to Paul Smith and Apple. Wrap up your day at one of the Garden’s five-star restaurants such as Frenchie, Henrietta, or The Oystermen. 

Trafalgar Square and Nelson's Column, Greater London

Trafalgar Square is a public space and tourist attraction in central London, built around the area formerly known as Charing Cross. It is situated in the City of Westminster. At its centre is Nelson's Column, which is guarded by four lion statues at its base. There are a number of commemorative statues and sculptures in the square, while one plinth, left empty since it was built in 1840, The Fourth Plinth, has been host to contemporary art since 1999. The square is also used for political demonstrations and community gatherings, such as the celebration of New Year's Eve. The name commemorates the Battle of Trafalgar, a British naval victory of the Napoleonic Wars over France and Spain which took place on 21 October 1805 off the coast of Cape Trafalgar, Spain. The original name was to have been "King William the Fourth's Square", but George Ledwell Taylor suggested the name "Trafalgar Square". In the 1820s George IV engaged the architect John Nash to redevelop the area. Nash cleared the square as part of his Charing Cross Improvement Scheme. The present architecture of the square is due to Sir Charles Barry and was completed in 1845. Trafalgar Square is owned by the Queen in Right of the Crown and managed by the Greater London Authority, while Westminster City Council owns the roads around the square, including the pedestrianised area of the North Terrace.

Enroute Sightseeing

Stonehenge, southwest region.

On The Map: Stonehenge is located in Wiltshire, in the southwest of England - 90 miles west of London and 33 miles southeast of the Roman City of Bath.

Stonehenge is without doubt one of the most famous sites in the world. The iconic remains of the ring of standing stones are instantly recognizable and draw almost 1 million visitors every year. Archaeologists believe that the first phase of construction at Stonehenge began around 3100 BC, at which time a large earthwork or 'Henge', comprising an earthbank and ditch, was built. The second phase of construction began around 2150 BC, when some 82 bluestones, weighing up to 4 tons, were transported 240 miles from southwest Wales! Around 2000 BC, the third phase saw the arrival of the massive Sarsen stones, weighing up to 50 tons. The stones were most likely transported from 25 miles away, and great mystery and intrigue continues to surround just how this mammoth task was achieved. The stones could only have been moved using sledges and ropes, and archaeologists guesstimate it would have taken 600 men to pull just one stone. The final construction phase took place around 1500 BC when the bluestones were rearranged in the horseshoe and circle that we see today. There are many theories as to the purpose of Stonehenge - ancient burial site, astronomical calendar, healing site, or sacred hunting ground? Perhaps when you visit, you can decipher the great mystery!

On The Map: Bath is located in the southwest of England, 115 miles west of London, and just 13 miles east of Bristol.

The City of Bath is truly unique. It was founded by the Romans, after their conquest of Britain in AD 43. Between the 1st and 4th centuries, the Romans constructed a temple dedicated to the divinity, Sulis, as well as several hot baths. The natural source of the baths yields over 1,200,000 litres of water daily, at a temperature of more than 46 °C / 115 °F. Today, you can walk in the ancient footsteps of Romans, on the original stone pavements around the steaming pool. After the fall of the Roman city, medieval Bath became a major wool-producing centre, and the city commanded considerable religious influence from 1091 to 1206. During the 18th century, three ambitious local entrepreneurs set out to make Bath one of the most beautiful cities in Europe - they succeeded! The most famous legacy of their work is the Royal Crescent, comprising of 30 houses laid out in a crescent shape. In total Bath boasts approximately 5,000 listed buildings, and on top of its impressive Roman heritage, is also England's most celebrated Georgian city. Such is its unique nature, the entire City of Bath was granted World Heritage status by UNESCO.

Step back in time with a visit to the historic Roman Baths. Known as one of the finest historic sites in Northern Europe, the Roman Baths sit at the heart of the City of Bath World Heritage Site and consist of preserved remains of one of the greatest religious spas of the ancient world. While the city’s natural thermal springs still rise in the site and keep the natural hot water flowing, visitors are not allowed to bathe in the baths. Instead, visitors are invited to join a guided tour or have a tour curated for them. 

After you explore the site, head to the Pump Room Restaurant or the Roman Baths Kitchen to enjoy a meal or some afternoon tea!

Very few know that In 1816, Mary Shelley wrote much of the world’s first science fiction novel, Frankenstein, while living in Bath.

Roman Baths, Bath, Southwest Region

The 2,000 year-old Roman Baths complex is undoubtedly one of the finest historic sites in Northern Europe. The Baths are located below modern street level, and were not discovered and explored until the late nineteenth century. The site was opened as a visitor attraction in 1897. In 2011 the Roman Baths completed a £5.5 million redevelopment to bring the best of modern interpretation to the site, transform its accessibility and preserve it for the next 100 years. The Baths have four main areas: The Sacred Spring, The Roman Temple, The Roman Bath House and Finds from Roman Bath. The Sacred Spring is at the very heart of the site. Naturally hot (46°C) water rises here every day, as it has done for thousands of years. In Roman times, this natural phenomenon was beyond human understanding, and was believed to be the work of the ancient gods. A Great Temple was therefore built next to the Spring dedicated to the goddess Sulis Minerva, a deity with healing powers. The Great Bath itself is lined with 45 sheets of lead. It once stood in an enormous barrel-vaulted hall that rose to a height of 130 feet. For many Roman visitors this would have been the largest building they had ever entered..

The Royal Crescent, Bath, Southwest Region

Located in the City of Bath, the Royal Crescent is a row of 30 terraced houses, laid out in a unique crescent shape. Designed by the architect John Wood the Younger, the Crescent was constructed between 1767 and 1774. It is a Grade I listed building, and undoubtedly one of the greatest examples of Georgian architecture to be found anywhere in the United Kingdom. The 114 columns of Wood's creation are 30 inches in diameter, and reach a height of 47 feet. The Georgian stone façade has changed little since 1774. Interestingly, original townhouse purchasers bought only a length of the exterior façade. They then employed their own architects to construct the house behind the façade! As a result, when viewed from behind, the Crescent is not at all uniform, with varying roof heights, shapes and structures. This architecture style, known as 'Queen Anne fronts and Mary-Anne backs', is prevalent throughout Bath. Many notable and famous people have called the Crescent home over the last 240 years, and some are commemorated on plaques attached to the relevant buildings. Of the Crescent's original 30 units, only a few are still full-size townhouses. Most have been sub-divided into apartments of various sizes, while No. 1 is the Royal Crescent Museum and the central Numbers 15 & 16 comprise the Royal Crescent Hotel.

Bath Abbey, Southwest Region

A stay in Bath will not be complete without visiting magnificent Bath Abbey. The current structure is the third to occupy this site since 757 AD. The first church was destroyed by Norman conquerers, who replaced it with a massive Norman Cathedral in the late 11th century. Subsequent to Henry VIII's Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1539, an already deteriorating Abbey fell into further disrepair. It was not until 1616  that the current Abbey was repaired and maintained. Sir George Gilbert Scott completely transformed the interior of the Abbey between 1864 & 1874, adding the spectacular stone fan vault ceiling - one of the Abbey's most impressive features. Another notable feature is the 'Ladder of Angels' on the Abbey's west exterior, supposedly inspired by a dream of Bishop King circa 1500. Edgar, the very first King of all England, was crowned at the Abbey in 973, setting the precedent for all subsequent Kings and Queens, including the current Elizabeth II. Entrance to the Abbey is free, though a discretionary donation is encouraged. For a few extra pounds, you can take a Tower Tour, which involves climbing a relatively tricky 212 step spiral staircase. En route to the glorious city views at the top, you'll visit the Ringing Chamber and Bell Chamber, stand atop the Abbey’s famous vaulted ceiling, and even sit behind the clock face!

Like the Ponte Vecchio, Pulteney is one of a very few historic bridges in the world to have shops constructed upon it. Pulteney Bridge crosses the River Avon in the heart of Bath. The bridge was constructed in Palladian style by Robert Adam at the behest of William Pulteney, and was completed in 1774. Pulteney's goal was to connect central Bath to the east bank of the River Avon, in the pursuit of commercial fortune. In subsequent years, the bridge was expanded to include more shops, and at the end of the 18th century was largely rebuilt as a consequence of flood damage. Shops line both sides of the bridge, and in spite of plans to pedestrianize the famous listed structure, it is currently still used by buses and taxis. You'll get the best view of Pulteney Bridge from Parade Gardens Park by the Crescent Weir.

Often described as 'quintessentially English', the area is famous for its hundreds of honey-colour, limestone villages, nestled among gentle hillsides, known as 'wolds'. Between the 13th and 15th centuries, native Cotswold sheep were famous throughout Europe for their high quality wool. Cotswold wool therefore commanded a high price, and generated significant wealth for the region. This in turn led to the building of fine houses and wonderful churches, known as 'Wool Churches'. Many of the beautiful limestone towns and villages have remained largely unchanged for up to 300 years. 'Drystone walls', skillfully constructed without cement, criss-cross the rolling landscape. Some are hundreds of years old, and although a protected historical feature, are still in daily farming use. The region is a walker's paradise, with thousands of miles of public footpath to explore, including the Cotswold Way National Trail.

5-Star Historic Spa Inn - York, Yorkshire and The Humber

Roman Bath Pub, York, Yorkshire and The Humber

The Roman Bath Pub  is an excellent location to enjoy good food, ale and live music, not to mention the ancient Roman Bathhouse in the basement!  The pub is remarkable because during excavation of the site in the 1980s, the Caldarium or 'hot room' of a Roman legionary bath-house was discovered. The floor of the Caldarium was originally raised upon columns to a height of approximately four feet above the foundations. This gap provided enough space for the hot gases from the furnaces to circulate underneath the floor, which in turn heated the room above. The heat fumes were channelled through the walls to vents in the roof of the building. The Caldarium was therefore heated both from below and its walls - Romans of the time had to quickly learn to always wear sandals, and not lay hands on the walls to avoid being scorched! One of the City's oldest attractions, nowadays you can step underground to see the remains of Roman York or Eboracum as it was then known. Discover what life was like for the soldiers who lived and worked here.... and why a visit to the Baths was so important!

Bulidings, some dating from the 14th century, overhang the street by several feet - so much so, that opposing structures are not very far from touching in some places!

Steam Trains, Whitby, and the North York Moors

Join Grand Yorkshire for this truly exceptional small-group day trip from York, exploring the North York Moors, spending time in the wonderful coastal town of Whitby and travelling by steam train (ticket included!) on the charming North Yorkshire Moors Railway. 

After being collected from your hotel in the morning you'll find yourself in the beautiful Yorkshire countryside en-route to to the picture-postcard village of Hutton-Le-Hole, located on the very edge of the North York Moors. You’ll have time for a stroll through the village, as well as chance to enjoy a cup of tea or coffee in the Forge Tea Rooms before heading off to the North York Moors for spectacle viewing of the National Park filled with amazing open moorland, fertile dales and valleys, unique flora and fauna. 

You'll next venture to the Yorkshire coastline to the seaside town of Whitby, famous for its clifftop Abbey, it’s association with Bram Stoker’s Dracula, its beautiful harbour and Yorkshire’s finest fish and chips! We’ll take in the views of Whitby from the West Cliff before you’ll enjoy 2 hours of leisure time to explore the town at leisure. From Whitby, head to the village of Goathland, built on land owned by the Queen and best known as the location for the UK drama series Heartbeat and for its railway station which was used as “Hogsmeade Station” in the Harry Potter film series. After a drive through the village, we make our way to the railway station to await the arrival of our steam train where you'll enjoy a relaxing journey through the valleys and woodland of the North York Moors.

After a 1 hour steam train journey, you'll be greeted at Pickering station by your guide to continue the tour to Helmsley, a pretty market town where you can indulge with coffee and cake in a local tearoom or a pint of Yorkshire beer in one of Helmsley’s traditional pubs. You could pay a quick visit to Helmsley Castle, or even ask your guide to drive you out to nearby Rievaulx to see the ruins of Rievaulx Abbey. The journey from Helmsley to York is the final part of the tour as we travel across the Yorkshire countryside and back to our starting point. 

York Minster, Yorkshire and The Humber

The Shambles, York, Yorkshire and The Humber

The Shambles is an old street in York, famous for its overhanging timber-framed buildings. Some structures date from as back as far as the fourteenth century. The Shambles' ancient buildings overhang the cobbled street, to the point that the roofs almost touch in the middle. Mentioned in the Domesday book (making it over 900 years of age), The Shambles is York 's oldest street, and Europe's best preserved Medieval street. It was once known as The Great Flesh Shambles - literally 'flesh-shelves' - the word for the shelves that butchers used to display their meat. As recently as 1872, there were twenty-five butchers' shops in the street, but now there are none. The street today is one of England's most visited, and boasts a wealth of shopping, tourist attractions, restaurants and many other things to see and do, including tours, ghost walks and historic talks.

4-Star Stylish Hotel - Windsor, South East Region

Windsor Castle Admission

Enjoy entrance to the oldest and largest occupied castle in the world - Windsor Castle. Explore the castle’s grounds and be sure to check out its highlights including: The State Apartments (the grand sequence of rooms forming the centerpiece of the Castle), The Semi-State Rooms (the private apartments created for George IV), The Grand Reception Room, St. George’s Chapel (where Prince Harry and Ms Meghan Markle were married), and the Changing of the Guard. No matter how you spend your time at Windsor Castle, it will surely take your breath away! 

Nottingham, East Midlands Region

On The Map: Nottingham is located in Nottinghamshire in Central England, 125 miles north of London.

Nottingham is a charming and compact city, boasting many pedestrianized streets and an award-winning public transportation system. In recent years, the city has established a fantastic reputation for great shopping, dining and nightlife. Nottingham is perhaps best-known for its association with the legend of Robin Hood. Sherwood Forest, where the amicable outlaw and his band of Merry Men resided, is located just 20 miles north of the city. According to folklore, it was at Nottingham Castle that Robin Hood had his final showdown with the Sherriff of Nottingham. The Castle was founded in the 11th century, and is the site of King Richard the Lionheart's return from the Crusades. The castle had been usurped by Prince John in his absence, forcing Richard to besiege it, before its ultimate recapture. Other Nottingham attractions include Wollaton Hall & Deer Park, a spectacular Elizabethan Mansion & Estate, which became Wayne Manor, in the 2012 movie, 'Batman: The Dark Knight Rises'. Tours are available of the City of Caves, an impressive network of more than 500 man-made sandstone caves lying beneath the Broadmarsh Shopping Centre. Admission to Green's Windmill, where you can observe the milling of award-winning organic flour, is free, and well-worth a visit. The windmill is perched on a ridge, and offers wonderful views over Nottingham and the River Trent Valley.

Sherwood Forest, East Midlands Region

On The Map: Sherwood Forest is located in Nottinghamshire in Central England, just 20 miles north of the City of Nottingham.

Sherwood Forest was established as a royal hunting preserve in the 10th century, at which time it encompassed a much larger area than what remains today. Sherwood is of course best known for its association with the legend of Robin Hood, though, when on-site, the Robin Hood link is a little more low-key than one might expect. That is with the exception of August each year, when the forest hosts a week-long Robin Hood Festival. This event recreates a medieval atmosphere and features the major characters from the Robin Hood legend. The week's entertainment includes jousters and strolling players, in addition to a medieval encampment complete with jesters, musicians, rat-catchers, alchemists and fire eaters. Sherwood offers a network of well-maintained and very pleasant walking trails. The forest also boasts 'Britain's Favorite Tree' - Major Oak. The tree is estimated to be 800 to 1000 years old, and according to folklore, provided overnight shelter for Robin Hood and his Band of Merry Men!

Conisbrough Castle, Yorkshire and The Humber

On The Map: Conisbrough Castle is located in the town of Conisbrough, in South Yorkshire, just 6 miles southwest of Doncaster.

Conisbrough Castle was originally founded in the 10th century, with the current stone structure dating from the 12th century. The castle is dominated by its great cylindrical keep, from which massive, wedge-shaped buttresses project at regular intervals. The unique design of the imposing castle can be seen for several miles on approach to Conisbrough, and is certainly a sight to behold! Conisbrough is probably most famous for inspiring Sir Walter Scott's 1819 classic fictional novel, 'Ivanhoe'. Nowadays, the floors and roof of the lofty circular keep have been restored, and you can fully appreciate the magnificence of the original 12th century building, while enjoying spectacular views over Conisbrough town. Technology has been used to great effect at Conisbrough, in telling the castle's story. Life-size characters, projected onto the keep's walls, regale visitors with tales of the castle's fascinating history. When visiting the castle, be sure to keep your eyes peeled for ghostly apparitions! Sightings of a grey monk, a lady dressed in white, strange lights and unexplained footsteps, have been regularly reported by castle visitors.

On The Map: Windsor is located 25 miles directly west of the heart of London, along the M4 Motorway.

The town of Windsor is best known for the impressive Windsor Castle (pictured). The castle has a long history - well documented from the 11th century. Through subsequent centuries the castle drew a regular royal presence to the town, which in turn insured the prosperity of Windsor, as repeated investment in the castle drew merchants, smiths and craftsmen of all descriptions to the area. The castle is currently an official residence of the King, and is the largest inhabited castle in the entire world. Windsor boasts a wealth of good shopping options - of particular note is the Windsor Royal Shopping Centre located in the Central Train Station. Windsor is also home to the largest Legoland in the world, and the only one in Britain. World-famous Ascot Racecourse is located in Windsor, and beautiful Savill Garden is also well worth a visit.

"Fantastic Iceland Vacation"

Pinehurst, NC

Jorie, I wanted to say thanks for your help planning our trip to Iceland last week! It was fantastic. We pretty much stuck to your suggestions for things to do which worked perfectly. So glad we did a day trip to Snaefellsnes peninsula!

"Anniversary Trip"

Peachtree City, GA

Authentic really listened to my client's needs and knocked it out of the park for them.

"Family Trip to Ireland"

Connecticut

I can't say enough wonderful things about our recent trip to Ireland, and much of that is thanks to Michaela and her incredible team. From start to finish, their attention to detail and personalized service were exceptional. Michaela took the time to really get to know us and tailor our itinerary perfectly to our interests. Every recommendation was spot-on, and we thoroughly enjoyed each stop along our journey. When our flight was unexpectedly canceled, we were worried about how it would affect our plans. But Michaela and her team sprang into action, rearranging our experiences seamlessly so that we didn’t miss a thing. Their prompt and thoughtful response turned a potentially stressful situation into an opportunity to appreciate their outstanding service even more. I’m deeply grateful for all their hard work and dedication. We’re already looking forward to our next adventure in Ireland and wouldn’t hesitate to work with them again.

"Mother & Daughter Ireland Trip"

BRIAN OREAR

Louisville, KY

Talk about the white glove treatment! Joleen was patient, kind, and professional throughout the booking process. She followed up well, took care of small details such as adding a night on the front end at the same hotel, AND- when it really mattered - coordinating with the Ireland team when our flight was canceled and the travel plans came crashing down. Joleen was amazing and made it all seem so easy, shifting the transfer and the hotel accommodations to meet our delayed schedule. I'd give a ten out of five if I could. Thank you!!!

"Family trip in New Zealand & Australia"

Shana Omara

Thank you to Joleen and the Authentic Vacations team for making the Crohn Family trip to New Zealand and Australia wonderful. They came home raving about the unique experiences provided by Authentic.

"Family Vacation in Italy"

Amarillo, Texas

Amber was amazing! She listened and came up with an itinerary that was more than we could have asked for and checked every box! She was available and responsive every step of the way. She happily answered any and all questions and provided great insight and suggestions along the way. Thank you for making this process invaluable.

"70th Birthday Celebration in Scotland"

Damascus, PA

Our trip to Scotland exceeded all our expectations. We were fortunate to be the only ones in our group so had the ability to add stops and learn a lot more. This was especially due to our amazing guide May Chen who is now a good friend. She really knows her geography, geology, history and how to show someone new around Scotland. She is a great driver as well and she was so responsive to all our needs and wishes.

"Wonderful Paris & London Trip"

Modern Travel Pros

I wanted to pass along some feedback from my clients who just came back from their Paris and London trip. I do think they had a wonderful time! "I wanted to say thank you for all of your hard work and help in making this trip amazing for us. It was truly incredible and exceeded our expectations. Gary was spectacular and I’d recommend him a thousand times over. We were very happy with all of your hotel selections. Locations were great for everything. Let your Disney lover clients know they truly don’t need more than a day at Disneyland Paris. I can’t stress enough how perfect the location was for our hotel in London. Public transportation is soooooo easy to navigate from there and you are truly in the center of everything. Our hotel in Paris was great too. The entire city is just absolutely stunning. Paris is a bit more spread out than London so it’s tougher to be in the middle of everything, but that location was great. Super close to the subway and great food options within walking distance. I wouldn’t have changed anything about any of our hotels."
