England is the largest country in the British Isles and borders Scotland to the north and Wales to the west.

It has a population of almost 60 million English speaking people. Much of the country is relatively flat with upland regions, such as the Pennines in the north and the Cumbrian mountains in the north-west.

England's national parks account for 7% of the country and include the Peak District, Dartmoor, Exmoor, the Lake District, the Yorkshire Dales, the North York Moors, the New Forest, the Broads and Northumberland. These are places regularly visited not only by tourists, but by the many inhabitants of England's hectic towns and cities.

Art and culture are currently thriving like never before in England's cities. The city of Liverpool did a marvellous job in its role as European Capital of Culture 2008,and as never before the spotlight falls on the country's diverse range of cultural offerings.

England's cities read like a timeline of the nation's long and eventful history, each with their own collection of architectural treasures.

In London, you will find many museums, theaters, galleries, and world famous shops.
