General Information

England, the largest country in the United Kingdom, borders Scotland to the north and Wales to the west.  It is known to be one of the most interesting tourist destinations in the world, with its remarkable history, many attractions, and well established infrastructure.  Wherever one looks there are grand buildings, ancient churches and interesting museums.  England has a variety of people, religions and cultures.

Despite being an island, England is easily one of the most accessible countries on earth to get to.  With its international airports including the world's busiest, Heathrow Airport and excellent ferry connections, getting to this great country is not a problem.  The best time to visit is in the summer months between June and September when the daylight hours are long.  Winters tend to be cold and damp, and generally not the prettiest time to visit, however snowfalls can be magical.  The northern and western parts of England generally see the worst of the weather, while the south and southeast are warmer and dryer, particularly around London and Brighton areas.
