Find out what it's like onboard the ferries before you travel.
England is the largest and most populous of the four 'home nations' that make up the United Kingdom. From lively cities bursting with history and culture, to charming coastal towns and picture-perfect villages hidden amongst rolling green hills, England has something for everyone. Many tourists begin their English adventure in the buzzing capital of London, and with its endless list of attractions - from world-class museums to bustling food markets, grand cathedrals and medieval castles - it's easy to see why. But the fun goes beyond the capital - tuck into a lazy pub lunch in the Cotswolds, uncover years worth of history in York, catch a wave on the Cornish coast or soak up stunning views in the Peak District.
