Tourist town, Hot Spring

Roman baths, historic alleys or a modern spa with a rooftop pool overlooking the historic part of the city can all be found in Bath. If you want to enjoy a few hours in the hot water and saunas and don't mind the higher prices, definitely visit the Bath Spa, the view of old Bath from the heated pool with steam rising from it is unbeatable. The A4 public transport bus (Air Decker) runs directly from Bristol Airport to the city centre.

National Park

England's largest national park, full of lakes, is almost always in a brooding atmosphere. Gentle hills, sparse population, lakes, rivers. The Lake District is best reached by the M6 motorway, roughly halfway between Manchester and Carlisle.

National Park

The undulating hilly national park south of Manchester is famous for its extensive heathland. The Peak District is criss-crossed with footpaths and its centre, Castleton, is easily accessible by road from both Manchester and Sheffield.

Coast

If you want to head to the real English countryside and still enjoy the sea, cliffs and wide beaches, the Cornwall peninsula is the place to be. Its western tip is aptly called "Land's End", the end of the world.

Island

The most beautiful and wildest countryside in Scotland can undoubtedly be found on the iconic Isle of Skye. Incredible rock formations, cliffs, rugged mountains and gentle pastures with whiskey distilleries will be reason enough to visit.
