Visit England is your guide to short breaks, weekends away and days out in England, with over 3,000 experiences to inspire and help you plan your great English getaway. Julia Bradbury celebrates English Tourism Week in March 2018, see what activities you can do here!
Discover scenic routes for country walks; plan summer adventures with the kids; whisk your loved-one on a romantic escape; soak up the summer rays on the coast or sample local delights on a foodie tour. However you envision your getaway, VisitEngland.com will help shape it.
Looking for outdoor break ideas? Let England’s green and pleasant land be your playground. Thrill seekers can take to the skies on skydive over the countryside, or get their rocks off scrambling England’s mountains.
Challenge yourself on a hike exploring undiscovered paths and trails, admiring panoramic views of the unspoilt English countryside along the way; traverse England’s ancient woodlands by bike to a soundtrack of birdsong, and get up close and personal to rare species of wildlife on a canoe trip or while wild swimming in lake flanked with towering peaks.

“Whether you like long walks along the beach, camping in forests, a tasty pub lunch or tea and scones in a pretty village, England has it all. From delicious food to delicious scenery, the varied landscapes offer a feast for the eyes.
Dramatic cliffs, yawning valleys, gentle rolling hills… from the wonder of the Lake District to bucolic beauty of the South Downs, there’s something for everyone. What’s not to love?”
TOG Says …
“TOG is delighted to be working alongside Visit England to encourage everyone, from young families to the solo walker to go out and explore this wonderful country we live in.”
