England is often said to be like a garden. England is very green and quaint and is loaded with things to see and do. London is much like New York in that one could spend a lifetime there and still not see and do everything so much so that London can be a bit of a trap. As there are so many "must" things to see and do there, one may be tempted not to get out of London and see everything else England has.

England is a place that one is likely to keep going back to. Fortunately, public transport is well developed in the country and one can get around (to places within the cities) without a car - although it may be more convenient to hire a car.

Later spring and summer are the best times to see and experience England. In those months the country is green and welcoming. In spring one can smell the fragrance of the many flowers in bloom.

  • Best Time To Visit: Later Spring, Summer

Later autumn and winter tend to be more dreary and damp - although that doesn't mean one shouldn't visit in those months. Paradoxically, the castles in Scotland may be more appealing in a way in the winter. In this time they are 50 shades of grey, dark, and foreboding - kinda like Hogwarts from Harry Potter.

England is not a particularly large country and one can easily drive to any part of it in a day from London. But England is full of places to visit. The issue is not distance, it's the number of things to see and do.

If one only has a couple of days, then see the highlights of London. But a good trip to England would be around three weeks. One will be able to see and do a number of things and there will still be plenty more for one to come back another time.
