Suppose you request that a traveler conjure up England, and they will likely describe red telephone boxes, the London Eye, and Buckingham Palace. Yet go only twenty miles from the capital's limits, and you find a different country entirely. England is not merely one large city; think of gently sloping green elevations, collapsing medieval keeps, Devon-style cream offerings, and shorelines whose beauty has been sung by bards since the Romantic era.

The Cotswolds. Welcome to the England photographers dream of capturing: warm ochre stone dwellings, rose-wrapped entrances, and picturesque hamlets named Castle Combe and Bourton-on-the-Water. The optimal method of discovery involves renting a car or walking the designated footpath known as the Cotswold Way. Pause to enjoy a traditional Devon-style tea featuring warm scones served with thick, clotted cream and sweet strawberry preserves, yet be advised: residents of Devon and Cornwall cannot agree on whether you spread the jam first followed by the cream, or the cream first followed by the jam.

Brighton & The Seven Sisters. Only one hour south of London by train, Brighton delivers an offbeat vacation by the ocean. Walk the Victorian pier, savor the classic British seaside meal: flaky white fish in crispy batter with chunky chips, all wrapped in newsprint-style paper, and take a tour through the whimsical Royal Pavilion, a building as bizarre as it is beautiful. A short drive east brings you to the Seven Sisters Cliffs — breathtaking bright cliffs made of ancient marine deposits that stand tall against the waves. Hike the crest of the cliffs to enjoy scenes that silence any attempt at description.

The Lake District. A landscape awarded UNESCO status and celebrated as England's premier location for hiking, sailing, and mountain exploration. Wordsworth himself once roamed these hills, composing lines about drifting like a solitary cloud over the lakes and fells.

Hike up Scafell Pike (England's highest mountain), sail on Lake Windermere, or the third option requires no physical effort: a pub seat, a local ale, and the hypnotic spectacle of rain sweeping across the fells while you stay perfectly dry. If you love medieval history, York is unmissable. Put on comfortable shoes and traverse the complete circuit of York's famous Bar Walls, take a wrong turn (deliberately) onto the Shambles, the cobbled lane whose leaning structures and cramped width served as the model for the wizard shopping district, and tour the breathtaking York Minster, which ranks among the most voluminous Gothic churches on the European continent.

When you want chills alongside your medieval facts, participate in an after-dark spirit-seeking expedition. York's tourism board — and its ghost tour operators — will tell you that this is the spirit capital of the entire continent. Closer to Manchester and Sheffield, the you will find in the Peak District expansive moorland plateaus, reservoir lakes created to supply water to nearby cities, and beautiful villages — among them Bakewell, famous for its namesake confection. The area provides the ideal setting for two days of walking followed by hearty midday meals in cozy country inns.

This protruding southwestern peninsula operates culturally and scenically as its own realm. Expect jagged coastal rock faces, astonishingly blue-green ocean water (the color genuinely approaches Caribbean shades), and world-class wave riding in the town of Newquay. Explore St. Ives, whose narrow streets lead to both world-class modern art and lobster, crab, and mackerel pulled from the bay that morning, explore the open-air Minack Theatre carved into a cliffside, and walk in the footsteps of myth at Tintagel Castle, the site forever linked to the story of Arthur's birth and the wizard Merlin.

You should also know that Cornwall is the spiritual birthplace of the pasty, a portable meal encased in golden pastry whose classic filling consists of beef, potato, and swede. Do not ask for a fork or knife — the pasty is designed to be eaten directly from the hand.
