About twenty-five million of people around of the world visit England every year! That's a lot of people visiting one nation!   What all people visit first is London, and many people never visit the rest of England. They miss interesting places across and throughout England such as small old churches, long beaches and quiet little villages. There are also small theatres where you can watch a Shakespeare play, and there are exciting big cities around where you can watch a game of cricket or football, take a boat along one of the rivers, or visit an old castle, you can also eat around of London, there are big cities and small cities, shops and a lot of music.

England is a very beautiful country. But who are the English?

The strangest thing is that if you search for her on the internet, you'll find a current American actress; but if you put the last name Shakespeare, you can find information about her. As a curiosity, when they got married, she was 26 years old and he was 18.

One of Shakespeare's sonnets, number 145, may refer to Anne Hathaway: the word "hate away" may be a pun on "Hathaway". Unfortunately, there is not much information about her, her history, life and her role in literature.

It was undoubtedly an interesting and very informative read.

The Quayside, the part of the city near the river, has many cafés, bars, restaurants,... The most curious of this place is that there are Seven bridges across the river Tyne, the newest is the Gateshead Millennium Bridges. When big boats go up the river, the bridges open and close like eyes.

To the south of Newcastle there is the city of York, it has some wonderful old buildings, castles and museums, and it has a cathedral-York Minster with amazing stained-glass windows.

Oxford and Cambridge are the two most famous university cities. Many people like to visit the parks and college gardens next to the river.

Bath is a city famous for its Royal Crescent and other buildings. There are Roman baths with hot water. They listened to music, met and talked, and looked for a husband or a wife.

Bristol is on the River Avon. Once boats from all over the world come up and down the river, but now the old docks are full of shops, cafés and art galleries.

Royal theatre is in Bristol, it is the most beautiful theatre of England.

When you visit towns and cities in England you can use buses, taxis, underground, trains, but you see more when you walk and it's free.

The lake District is beautiful and green, you can go for walks or a picnic with your family; for me it is a good place for plans like that. 

Yorkshire has two wonderful national parks. In the north-west is the Yorkshire Dales National Park. In the north-east is th North York Moors National Park.

Three famous sisters lived at Haworth, in Yorkshire - the writers Charlotte, Emily and Anne Brontë.

In England you can explore and enjoy more places like this. England is a good country for tourists because it has historical sites and good views and the most important , it is a quiet place.

Shopping is also an important part of English culture. The chapter mentions popular streets, department stores and shopping centres, the famous shop Harrods in Knights bridge in London and big shops but don't forget the small shops.

On the other hand, tennis has its own place in the hearts of the English, with matches often viewed in local communities. The Wimbledon tournament, which takes place at the end of June, is one of the most prominent events, attracting fans from around the world who enjoy the grass and tradition of the tournament.

Finally, marathon races are also significant events in England, with the London Marathon and the Birmingham Marathon being two of the most important, bringing together runners and spectators in a celebration of sport and community.
