Holiday lettings, villas, apartments and cottages to let

William Blake's Jerusalem ends with the words: In England's green and pleasant land - and there can be no more fitting description of this beautiful Island.

England’s 33 Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty include The Lake District, Cornwall’s Coast and Moors, The Northumberland Coast, the Pennines and the Cotswolds. At only 600 miles in length and 200 miles wide, you will never be more than 75 miles from the coast. England’s coastal path is due to be completed in 2023 and at 2,800 miles it will be the longest coastal walking route in the World. England sits in the Atlantic Gulf stream and enjoys a mild winter climate. Its coral reefs, deep waters and rocky islands are home to an incredible array of birds and marine life and its native dolphins and seals are joined in the summer by visiting whales, sharks and turtles.

The Victorian Era introduced pleasure piers for the masses; walkways out to sea which still exist. Brighton's pier is not just a tourist attraction - it is home to a flock of starlings. Bournemouth's pier has a classic nostalgia, while Blackpool has North, South and Central piers, with the latter being known as the people's pier - famous for its entertainment and open air dancing prior to World War 2. 

England’s fields, woods, parks and gardens are home to a wide variety of mammals. Its wildlife is everywhere, from grey and red squirrels, otters, beavers, badgers, deer and foxes. It is a birdwatchers paradise, with over 600 species.  

For lovers of Art, the Tate network of Galleries house the National collection of modern and British Art and can be found in London, Liverpool and Cornwall. Tate Britain, with its fine collection of J.M.W. Turner artworks attracts over half a million visitors every year. For holidaymakers in the North of England, The Laing Gallery and the Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art display regularly changing exhibitions of historic, modern and contemporary art.

Theatregoers are spoilt for choice. The magnificent Minack open air theatre perches on a granite outcrop over the Cornish Sea. The 1,040 seat Royal Shakespeare Company Theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon in the Midlands is the birthplace of William Shakespeare and is dedicated to his works. In addition, Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre stands on the South Bank of the River Thames, while Birmingham’s Hippodrome is the stage for the City’s Royal Ballet, as well as touring West End shows. To the North you will find the Theatre Royal in Newcastle as well as The Empire Theatre in Sunderland; both playing host to large scales musicals, opera and ballet.   

Liverpool’s Royal Albert Dock is home to the world’s largest permanent Beatles exhibition and not forgetting the Glastonbury music festival in June.

England’s rich heritage is no better highlighted than by the Royal family. Windsor Castle with its 1,000 years of Royal history is the oldest and largest occupied castle in the world, while Buckingham Palace with its 775 rooms and largest private garden remains the focal point for British people in times of rejoicing and mourning. For Castle enthusiasts, the choice is huge. From the iconic fortress of Dover Castle with its wartime tunnels and Warwick Castle which has seen visitors since the 17th Century, to the stunning sight of Bamburgh Castle, sat on a black crag of volcanic rock in its seaside location in Northumberland.

The attractions are endless, but for all of England’s magnificent history and culture, simple pleasures are everywhere; a cup of tea, a full English breakfast, a pint in the pub and a Sunday roast. England has everything.
