England Travel Guide

Edit Section - England Travel Guide - Hotels & Restaurants

England is a tricky concept for most non Brits. Is it analogous to the United Kingdom? Is a Scottish person English? Why is Catherine Zeta Jones Welsh? Does she have some kind of T-mobile cross promotion with grape juice? Today's tutorial will clear up England's confusing socio-political condition, as well as expound upon one of earth's most influential and powerful little corners of the world. England is the largest and more populous constituent country of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Other constituent countries include: Northern Ireland, Wales, and Scotland. Together with England, these four nations form constituent parts of the greater United Kingdom whole, and are thus labeled under the national umbrella of British. A Scottish person is not English, but is Scottish and British, etc. Because England composes eighty three percent of the total population of the United Kingdom, and because the capital of the UK is is London, England often gets double billing, and the unfortunate result is that all things British are often confused for all things English.

England is a famous, powerful, and historically rich nation. It's seven million person capitol of London is probably the most cosmopolitan city on the planet with a generous mixture of the world's varied nations finding home and hearth in the brick lanes of London town. England is the home to the royal family as well as parliament, Big Ben, Tower Bridge, Manchester United, Newcastle beer, Stonehenge and the now defunct Spice Girls. A green country of rolling hills and gentle valleys, it borders Scotland and Wales as well as the North and Atlantic seas. Stay in a thatched roof Bed and Breakfast in the Lake District, look for Othello in the Victorian Globe and lunch in or around Stratford-Upon-Avon. Bring your tripod to the White Cliffs of Dover and do some windsurfing in Brighton. A varied, and rich land of legacy and tradition, England is sure to provide a treat for all tastes (so long as you like Fish n' Chips or Indian food).
