If you ask any visitor to imagine England, and they will likely describe red telephone boxes, the London Eye, and Buckingham Palace. However, drive a mere twenty miles away from the city center, and a distinct realm appears before you. There is an England that has nothing to do with the city; rather, it is a terrain of undulating emerald slopes, decaying fortresses, scone-based afternoon snacks, and shorelines that have moved writers to verse for hundreds of years.

The Cotswolds. Welcome to the England photographers dream of capturing: sweet golden stone residences, floral-framed doorways, and villages with titles such as Castle Combe and the model village of Bourton. To properly see this region, you should drive yourself or hike the long-distance Cotswold trail. Pause to enjoy a traditional Devon-style tea featuring warm scones served with thick, clotted cream and sweet strawberry preserves, nevertheless, you should know: the cream tea comes with a side of controversy — Cornish method versus Devonian method, and neither side yields.

Brighton & The Seven Sisters. Within easy reach, just sixty minutes from London, Brighton presents a delightfully strange holiday destination on England's southern shore. Take a promenade on the old Victorian-era boardwalk, enjoy a portion of battered cod alongside thick-cut fries, served in a paper cone, and wander through the Indian-inspired Royal Pavilion with its onion domes and chinoiserie interiors. A minor eastern drive lands you at the base of the celebrated white cliffs that appear on a thousand album covers — magnificent white rock faces that climb dramatically from the shoreline into the air. Make your way along the summit route for perspectives that render you momentarily speechless.

The Lake District. Recognized by the United Nations for its cultural value, the Lake District stands as England's finest outdoor adventure hub. This region served as the living backdrop for Wordsworth's most beloved poem about daffodils and floating clouds.

Ascend the summit of Scafell Pike, which rises higher than any other English mountain, rent a small sailing vessel or hop aboard a passenger ferry on 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. When you count yourself a fan of the thousand-year period between the fall of Rome and the Renaissance, put York at the top of your list. Put on comfortable shoes and traverse the complete circuit of York's famous Bar Walls, allow yourself to be swallowed by the Shambles — that improbably slender street lined with overhanging timber-framed buildings that looks exactly like a film set, and enter the glorious York Minster, a building that took over 250 years to complete and remains one of northern Europe's supreme ecclesiastical achievements.

For visitors who like their legends on the darker side, take part in York's acclaimed night ghost experience. York claims to be the most haunted city in Europe. Positioned not far from the urban hubs of Manchester to the west and Sheffield to the east, the Peak District presents its signature wild heather-covered uplands, man-made lakes, and attractive settlements including Bakewell — the town that gave its name to a celebrated almond-based dessert. It is perfect for a weekend of hiking and pub lunches.

Venture to England's southwestern tail, and you will swear you have crossed an international border. The region offers steep, rocky cliff faces, ocean waters that turn a vivid turquoise on sunny days, and excellent wave-catching opportunities at Newquay's Fistral Beach. Visit St. Ives for its art galleries and seafood, climb down into the Minack Theatre, a breathtaking example of one woman's vision realized in concrete and stone against a dramatic coastal setting, and explore Tintagel Castle, where a recent discovery of a 6th-century slate has reignited the Arthurian connection and where a dramatic footbridge now connects the mainland to the island.

Cornwall is also the home of the pasty—a baked pastry filled with beef, potato, and swede. Do not ask for a fork or knife — the pasty is designed to be eaten directly from the hand.
