What are the best places to visit in England in a short amount of time?

Answer 1

any where in england is to long . the people in england are always right even when they are wrong

Answer 2

I suppose everyone wants to go to London - but what I would recommend is just seeing the principal sights here and then using London as a base to see other places in England that are possibly more interesting/more typical of England/less stressful than a huge city. For instance a short train ride would take you to Cambridge, Oxford or Brighton. A slightly longer ride and you could go to Salisbury/Stonehenge, Bath or Norwich. Even York is only about 2 hours away on the fastest trains. Go to www.nationalrail.co.uk for travel and fare options.

Answer 3

Jean Marc 1 must be a travel agent and they will only sell you what's most profitable to them, not to you. Most of England's history was made in the South-East and that's where I would head. From Hastings to Hever Castle, Winston Churchill's home at Chartwell, near Westerham, the massive castle at Dover originally a Roman settlement, Newhaven fort. Notice little roads sunk between the neighbouring fields after thousands of years of footsteps. Remember the rolling English drunkard made the rolling English road and avoid the brawling modern English drunkard.

Answer 4

If you are going to London, see Buckingham Palace. They have gorgeous gardens. Take the Thames boat ride and see the Tower of London, Big Ben, The London Dungeon. If you are going to Stratford on Avon then you can see Shakespeare's house. There are lots of quaint shops and all the shops are named after a play that he wrote. You can even spot a Montague Bank. Named after Romeo Montague of Romeo and Juliet. The town is set up exactly like it was when Shakespeare was alive.

Answer 5

One option, if you have limited time, is to climb on one of the open-top tourist busses that drive around in circles in London and you'll get to see all the picture-postcard sights in a couple of hours. You buy an all-day ticket, and if anything grabs your attention you can get off and take a closer look. Then catch the next bus (they come every 15 minutes, worst case).
But there's a lot more to england (and wales, timsdad,above) than just London. (and scotland and ireland too, b4 I upset anyone)

If I put a push on, in the 3hrs I usually have to visit I can walk the whole Western side of the wall, look round the railway museum, pass the Minster and look round a few shops (kinda like in the yahoo photo gallery of mine I gave the link to above with pictures from my last visit).
