Holidays in England are more than just London, see suggestions from the England Tourist Office
London has become synonymous with England. When was the last time you went on holiday to Liverpool? To Newcastle? To Manchester? Perhaps with the exception of those who are die-hard fans of a particular Premier League team, it has become the case that only a few people are familiar with any English countryside other than that which you pass by on the train to London from one of the surrounding airports. The city has de facto become its own country economically; unemployment in the old mining towns and rural communities exploded after the financial crisis, while after a short dip London sprinted ahead of the rest of the country in terms of unemployment, house prices, growth etc. Furthermore, falling flight prices to and from the airports around London are also a factor in why so many people choose to go to the city to do a little weekend shopping.
Thus, today there are no international travel guides or magazines with their heads screwed on properly that can avoid relating to Queen Elizabeth II's hometown. The walk from Westminster underground station towards the London Eye is certainly Europe's best bet on a world capital, where everything except the steely gazes. But London's special status should not take the focus off the qualities that a drive out into the country can offer. To the west you will find the port city of Liverpool, which during the industrial revolution was one of the world's absolute key points for trade and industry, to the northeast "the Geordies" in Newcastle, a former mining town that has also previously been the cradle of much industry. If you travel all the way south to Southampton, it is possible to take the ferry to the Isle of Wight, where many Britons spend their summer holidays. According to the locals, the island has always been 5 years behind the rest of England, but with its winding roads and long sandy beaches, the island has definitely its charm and invites you to relax in the best English way. It's hard to look at England without staring at London, but everyone should try. Read more about England on Traveltalk.dk
