Few countries in the world as small as England have left such an impression on the modern and ancient world. From its solar temple Stonehenge and chalk people and horses on hillsides, to preserved sites from 400 years of Roman occupation from Cirencester to Housesteads, history is all around. Add vibrant cities such as the capital London, Manchester and Bristol and beautiful countryside like the Cotwolds and Kent, and the timeless charm of this island nation comes to life.
