Bath
The city of Bath is one of England's tourist gems.
This historic city has been designated by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site and presents some of the finest architectural sights in Europe, most notably the famous Roman Baths.
The Baths are not alone in being one of many great tourist attractions to be housed all within the boundaries of one city- take for example the ancient thermal springs, which are now numbered as one of the UK top five tourist attractions.
From the moment you arrive you will feel the wealth of heritage and soak up the culture in one of the UK's best loved cities..
Cardiff

pubs and nightclubs that provide endless entertainment. The waterfront
is filled with shops, attractions, cafes and restaurants. There are

ground-breaking architecture and culture. With over 200 museums and
galleries, 30,000 shops, 3,800 pubs, 143 parks and gardens, and countless
dining and entertainment options throughout the city, there has never
been a better time to visit this vibrant metropolis. London is very
accessible; it has five international airports and extensive Underground,
train, bus and taxi services.
Manchester
One of the largest cities in England, the hip city of Manchester is famous
for leading the music scene in the U.K. But while Manchester continues
to have a vibrant musical culture with great live music venues, it
also has a strong tradition of football (known as soccer in the U.S.)
and is home to the Manchester United, one of the strongest football
teams in the United Kingdom.
Oxford
Home to one of the greatest universities in the world, Oxford is a majestic
and romantic city. Harry Potter fans will be delighted to visit Bodleian
Library at Oxford University, famous for appearing in the Harry Potter
movies as Hogwarts dining room and library, and the Great Hall of Christ
Church College which doubles as Hogwarts School. Another literary thrill
is that Lewis Carroll was inspired to write Alice's Adventures
in Wonderland while looking out these windows. In addition to Carroll,
Oxford has been home to many best-loved authors, like C.S. Lewis, J.R.R.
Tolkien and Philip Pullman.
Southampton
Southampton holds a wealth of attractions for visitors to the city. From
the Pilgrim Fathers departures to the Americas, Medieval Walls surrounding
the city, to its historic wartime importance and the home of the Spitfire
and its historic links with the tragic story of RMS Titanic. The historic
city of Southampton is a vibrant destination alive with its rich heritage,
culture and a lively programme of events. If you're looking to enjoy
the finest shopping, history, culture, entertainment and leisure, there's
no better place than Southampton. It really is the jewel of the South.
Ideally situated for exploring some of the most breathtaking coast
and countryside in the south of England.
Stratford-Upon-Avon
Stratford may be synonymous with William Shakespeare, but there's
more here than just the birthplace of the Bard. You can be transported
in time by driving a shire horse and cart around the Shire Horse Center
or take a ferry across the River Avon to the waterside. Of course, one
of the major draws for visitors is the Royal Shakespeare Theatre, where
England's most prestigious actors perform.
York
More than 1,000 years after the Vikings took over the city from the Romans,
York still retains the flavor of a medieval city with cobblestone streets,
a huge Gothic cathedral and no cars in the city center. It is encircled
by 2 miles of fortification walls dating back to the 13th and 14th
centuries. The most famous attraction by far is the majestic York Minster,
one of the greatest cathedrals in the world, completed in 1472 after
more than 250 years in the making.
Exeter
Exeter is an historic Cathedral and University city. It is also the County town of Devon and is a business, legal, retail, tourist and commercial center for the region. The city has a population of around 111,000 but serves a 45 minute catchment of nearly half a million people. Exeter has a rich and varied heritage of buildings and townscape. It has grown from Roman origins and displays the benefits from long prosperity, particularly during the 16th, 17th and early 18th centuries. Despite the destruction of a quarter of the city center during the Second World War, there remains much which is worthy of preservation and enhancement.
