What images come to mind when you think of England? Big Ben and Parliament? Rolling green countryside? Scones and tea? Stonehenge? So many things come to mind when you think about England, but with the help of the experienced travel agents at Remember Travel, you can experience all of them first hand and for real with a trip across “The Pond” to Great Britain.

About 120 miles west of London, Bristol is a lovely town on the sea. Bristol lies just across the Bristol Channel from Wales. This historic inland port is linked to the sea by the River Avon. The pastel houses along the riverfront and the medieval streets are perfect game to shoot with your camera. Bristol has vistas at every turn.

Located towards the southern part of the United Kingdom in Wiltshire, Stonehenge is a Neolithic and Bronze Age megalithic monument and one of the most famous prehistoric sites in the world. Archaeologists think the site, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, was erected between 2500 BC and 2000 BC, although the surrounding circular earth bank and ditch, which constitute the earliest phase of the monument, have been dated to about 3100 BC.

Of course, a trip to England isn’t complete without visiting London. London went through many incarnations to become the city that it is today. A tiny village built over the Thames River in AD 43, London now comprises 600 square mi and 7 million people. There’s a lot to see when you’re there, as you can imagine.

Take a trip on the Underground and make your way throughout the city. Visit the famous Tower of London and St. Paul's Cathedral. Take a tour of Westminster Abbey, the Houses of Parliament, and Buckingham and St. James’s Palaces. There is an endless array of historic monuments to see. Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens are broad swaths of green that have held at bay the city’s modernity. A walk across Hyde Park brings you to the museum district of South Kensington, which is where you’ll find the Natural History Museum and the Victoria & Albert Museum.

There will always be an England, but its landscape is constantly shifting and being redefined at all times. Of course, there are many more places and sights to see that what is listed here. Take in an opera, visit Shakespeare’s home town, and experience the excitement of downtown London.
