Do you want to go to England but you aren’t sure where to even begin? Or maybe you live in England and are stumped for cheap holiday options? Want to create a bucket list for your England? Well look no further because I’ve made one for you! I’ve tried to skip over the biggies, like Buckingham Palace, Big Ben and the London Eye just to give you an idea of what else is out there. In fact, I’ve tried to make this list as non-London-centric as possible because London gets more press than anywhere else in England really.
1. See a show in the West End. (If you’re going anytime soon I highly recommend “One Man, Two Guvnors”)
2. Eat fish and chips.
3. Go on a pub crawl.
4. Stay at a traditional English B&B.
5. Go to the Farne Islands off of the Northumberland coast and play with the baby seals.
6. See Durham Castle.
7. Visit Whitby Abbey (maybe not during the Goth Fest, unless that’s your thing).
8. See where Shakespeare lived (Stratford-upon-Avon) and catch a show at the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC) while you are there. (See my post on Stratford here.)
9. Attend a service at Westminster Abbey (it’s free).
10. Eat afternoon tea.
11. Visit Oxford and the Bridge of Sighs.
12. See a football game.
13. Take a stroll along Brighton Pier.
14. Take a tour of Windsor Castle.
15. Go to Beachy Head. (See my post on it here.)

18. Tour the Tower of London.
19. Have tea at Cornwall’s Tregothnan Tea Estate.
20. See Hadrian’s Wall.
21. Climb Scafell Pike.
