Elect's take

"England offers far more variety than many visitors expect. Beyond London there are historic cities, beautiful coastlines and countryside landscapes that feel like a world apart."

What keeps drawing me back to England is how much there is to discover beyond the obvious. Bath is one of Europe's most beautiful cities, York feels like stepping back in time, and the countryside around the Cotswolds and Lake District is genuinely spectacular. The country's hotel scene reflects this variety. Some of the finest country house hotels in Europe are found here, often in spectacular rural settings that would be difficult to replicate anywhere else. England also excels at city breaks. Manchester, Leeds and Bristol have all developed strong hospitality and dining scenes. Combined with outstanding transport links, it is possible to experience several very different regions during a single trip.
