Hi fellow travellers!
I recently returned from a two-week adventure across England, and I couldn't wait to share my experience, along with some valuable tips and recommendations for anyone planning a trip to the country.
Destinations I Visited:
London: Classic must-see! I explored the Tower of London, Buckingham Palace, and Borough Market and enjoyed a scenic ride on the London Eye. Public transport was super convenient, definitely get an Oyster card.
Bath: Loved the Roman Baths and the Georgian architecture. It’s such a charming and walkable city.
Oxford: A dream for history lovers! The university buildings are beautiful, and the libraries are straight out of a movie.
Lake District: If you're into hiking, this is paradise. The landscapes are stunning — peaceful lakes, rolling hills, and cosy pubs.
Food & Drink Highlights:
Try fish and chips at a local pub (with mushy peas, of course).
I eat a beef steak grilled on Himalayan pink salt tiles.
Afternoon tea is a must. I had a great one at The Orangery in Kensington.
Don’t miss local ciders and ales if you’re visiting the countryside.
Travel Tips:
The train system is reliable, but it can get pricey—book in advance for better deals.
The weather is unpredictable, bring layers and always have a rain jacket.
Locals are friendly and helpful, especially outside of major cities.
If you're planning a trip to England and have questions, feel free to ask! Happy to share more recommendations.
Cheers,
