Despite England's diminutive size, visitors will soon realise that the sheer number of things to see and do means the country requires more than one visit to do it justice. That said, we know how to make the most of each and every stay, whether you want fast-track access to that must-see castle, the best viewing point for Changing of the Guard or perhaps to meet a Lord or Lady in their private home - Downton Abbey, anyone?

Enjoy England's pomp, pageantry and world-class museums, and stand in the footsteps of famous writers and poets, all before enjoying a cup of tea and a traditional scone, naturally.
