Rural Escapes and Country Holidays in England


 

Rugged hills, sweeping dales, winding country roads… England’s countryside is the place to head for a tranquil rural escape.
 

It’s dotted with grand stately homes, ancient stone circles, castle ruins, quaint villages and market towns, making it perfect for idyllic country holidays. Take a walk through ancient woodlands carpeted in bluebells, go for a pint in an old thatched-roof pub, or meander along dappled river banks as the scent of wild garlic hangs in the air. All that fresh air is bound to make you hungry, so you’ll be even more pleased to find mouth-watering local food and drink in its restaurants and farmers markets.
 

Country breaks in England’s green and pleasant land are bound to leave you with some of the happiest holiday memories around.
