Consider your options when visiting England
As you begin to plan your holiday in England, ask yourself: where do I want to go? Are you a city dweller, or is the countryside calling your name? Here are some must-see destinations to consider as you visit England:
Cities in England to explore
- London: capital of the United Kingdom and a cultural hub for some of the best museums, theater, art, and entertainment in the world
- Bath: the oldest Roman remains and only natural mineral springs spa in the UK. A mere one-hour drive away from Stonehenge
- Oxford: in addition to the university and academic roots, this cosmopolitan city’s ancient history is like no other
- Stratford-upon-Avon: perfect for Shakespeare lovers and literature buffs alike
- Brighton: a wonderful, vibrant seaside resort city perfect for families and day trips
Quieter destinations in England to enjoy
- Yorkshire: explore miles of quiet countryside and bustling market towns
- Essex: for lovers of parks, picturesque villages, and rolling green hills
- Hampshire: the inspiration for Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, find quiet hidden treasures
- Cornwall: an excellent destination for nature enthusiasts, with serene beaches perfect for a variety of water activities

Enjoy trips to England year-round
Regardless of what time of year you holiday in England, there will always be something to do! Most recommend travelers visit during the months of May, June, September, and October. If you do plan to spend most of your trip outdoors, late spring and early fall have the best temperatures and the least amount of rain.
Nonetheless, there’s nothing like London during the winter holidays. Most cities host their own Christmas markets during November and December. It’s a true sight to see, as town squares and castles transform into magical scenes. Plus, most museums, theater performances, and other indoor activities are available year-round. No matter what time of year you are traveling, you will find something to do on your holiday in England.

How to swap homes in England
Have you considered booking your accommodations in England via a home exchange site? If you have never done a home swap before, look into private exchange clubs like ThirdHome. Whether you are escaping to the countryside or exploring English cities, a home exchange in the UK is an excellent way to save money on lodging.
Home swapping provides a unique experience for travelers. Immerse yourself in the country, culture, and local customs – all while enriching your holiday in England. Your home swap’s host is an invaluable resource for travel advice, recommendations, and other inside tips on how to have a one-of-a-kind vacation.
