whatsonwhen.com - global events guide: "If it's history and culture you want, then this corner of the British Isles certainly has more than its share.
From the Romans, Vikings and the Industrial Revolution to Churchill, the Royal Family and the Beckhams (another type of royal), England's special idiosyncrasy and vibrant diversity make it a wonderful place to visit.
Amongst its many jewels England boasts one of the most vibrant capital cities in the world as well as urban centres such as Manchester, Birmingham and Newcastle - all Meccas for the arts, music and sports.
On the other hand, if you're after something more rural, this green and pleasant land holds yet more riches - from the peaceful Norfolk Broads and beautiful Devonshire beaches to the breathtaking Lake District and numerous other national parks dotted around the country. And after all that, what could be more relaxing than a nice cup of tea?"
