From Bootsnall: 7 Places to Visit in England Besides London

I write an awful lot about London. There’s several reasons for that. One being that I love it. Another being that so many other people love it that it’s makes up the most popular posts on Anglotopia traffic wise.

For the Anglophiles out there that may be a little Londoned out, Bootsnall has a pretty good blog post about 7 Places to Visit in England Besides London.

Options include:

Devon & Cornwall
Cambridge
Brighton
The Cotswolds
Yorkshire Dales
Manchester
The Lake District

From the article:

If you want to experience quintessential English villages, cream teas and country pubs, Devon & Cornwall is the perfect place to do just that. I spent countless summers as a child on the south coast of Devon, nicknamed the ‘English Riviera’, in the sailing towns of Salcombe and Dartmouth.

People often don’t realise that England has some spectacular coastline and the south coast of Devon has some of my most favourite beaches in the world. The north coast of Cornwall is home to the best surf in the UK with Polzeath and Newquay offering excellent waves.

The tiny fishing village of Port Isaac and Padstow have some of the finest restaurants in the country and if you want to mingle with the rich and famous and maybe spot a royal or meet your own Prince Harry, take a trip to Rock- Britain’s answer to St Tropez.

    Thanks for this, I am not a fan of London and there is just so much else to do here without ever setting foot near London and you can have twice the vacation for the same price.
