Marvel at Gormley's majestic Angel of the North and the Eden Project's enormous biomes; soak up the magic of Wimbledon on centre court or a test match at the 'home of cricket' in North London.

 

Savour some pomp and ceremony at Windsor Castle, drift leisurely along the River Cam and lose yourself amongst England's blooming gardens.
