England; number six on our world tour is a majestic marvel.

Long live the Queen! England stop number six on our world tour.

England or Great Britain to which it is sometimes referred almost ruled the entire world a century ago.  Although the need for conquering the world and Kings and Queens have become more of an authority “figure” than actual authority, people in England are still proud of their country and heritage.

This country  has come a long way from a gigantic colonial empire to a proud and active member of the EU.

Comprised mainly of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, the United Kingdom is full of scenic locales and energetic cities, the capital city is London.   London is a city beyond comparison, representing itself as an icon of diversity with people from different races, creeds and all walks of life blended into its culture, in fact, England itself is home to nearly two million heritage points.

England is famous for its’ many architectural marvels, most notably the London Bridge.

The cities of York and Durham manifests the bygone era of country while Liverpool and Newcastle are modern industrial marvels. England can roughly be defined as a melting pot of just about everything you can imagine in the world in one place.

The country boasts a staggering population of around 61 million people, yet there is but one official language; English.   Other regional languages spoken are Welsh, Scottish, Gaelic, and Irish but English is most often used.

It is customary when you are meeting somebody for the first time to offer out your hand to shake. When visiting someone’s house a small gift like flowers or chocolates is customary.  An interesting etiquette to note; it is common practice to wait until everyone is served before eating. 

Long live these important places to visit while on a luxury travel tour of the United Kingdom:

In London

  • Buckingham Palace
  • Hampton Court Palace
  • Kensington Palace
  • Whitehall Palace
  • The Tower of London
  • London Bridge

  • Ben Lawers Mountains

In Wales

  • Aberdulais Falls
  • King Arthur’s Labyrinth
  • Gold Mines, Great Orme Mines
  • Portmeirion Village
  • Rhossili Visitor Centre
  • Taff Valley Activity Centre
  • TechinQuest 

There are many ways to travel while in the United Kingdom including air, road, train and by sea.  You can traverse this vast land quite easily and visit a lot of different places in a short period of time.  We suggest that yet entirely unique. you spend at least at few days in each location.  Some of the must do luxury-accommodations in England; both located in London, are the Baglioni and the Milestone.  Each is remarkably beautiful and filled with all the modern amenities you would expect to see in a luxury hotel, yet each have a distinct style of their own. The Baglioni boasts an Italian style and flair while the Milestone boutique style hotel is  reminiscent of old England. 

Wherever you choose to stay or visit on your next luxury vacation to England make sure you take a moment to visit Buckingham Palace to see the changing of the guards and indulge in afternoon tea while you reflect on the most amazing parts of this dream vacation.
