2 ~~~ England Travel Guide As it is home to everything from Buckingham Palace and The Beatles to pubs, Harry Potter and the Premier League, it is no surprise that England has long been a popular place to visit. While lots of people come to experience its rich culture and see its impressive historic sights, museums and cities, others prefer to explore its picture-perfect countryside and quaint and charming towns and villages. Part of the United Kingdom, England occupies the central and southern two-thirds of the island of Great Britain with its territory also including several smaller isles and archipelagos. Only separated from mainland Europe and nearby Ireland by narrow channels and small seas, it is bordered by Scotland to the north and Wales to the west. While much of it consists of verdant farms and fields, rolling hills and sparkling lakes like in the Pennines and Lake District also dot its moors and forests while secluded beaches and scenic bays line the coast. www.touropia.com/explore/united-kingdom/england/

Today, there are hundreds of castles in England in various stages of restoration or states of decay. Many have become popular tourist destinations, offering visitors the chance to see how life in a real castle compares with storybook tales of towers, turrets and untold treasure. www.touropia.com/castles-in-england/2 December 2021

11 ~~~ 10 Best Places to Visit in Wales Wales shares a great deal of history with the rest of Great Britain, but the rugged beauty of its landscapes and the open nature of its inhabitants make it a distinctly unique travel destination. For first-time visitors, the most obvious difference between Wales and the other lands in the United Kingdom is the tongue-twisting Welsh language. While everyone speaks English, part of the fun of visiting Wales is learning a few phrases of one of the oldest languages in Europe. Besides its Celtic culture, the country is also famous for the large number of imposing castles. Wales’s scenic mountains, valleys and coastlines are just as enchanting, and no visit to Wales is complete without a long tramp through one of its stunning national parks.

12 ~~~ 10 Most Beautiful Castles in Wales With more ancient fortresses per square mile than anywhere else in Europe, Wales is Britain’s undisputed king of castles. Most of the structures date back to the reign of King Edward I, who built the castles to help him hold onto his newly acquired lands. Known today as Edwardian castles, the fortresses marked a new era in castle construction. Instead of the classic motte-and-bailey design with its central keep and outer stockade, Edwardian castles feature rings of walls and multiple towers that make them look as if they were lifted out of a fairytale. That storybook quality makes castles in Wales particularly attractive as family vacation destinations, but people of all ages are sure to find them enchanting. www.touropia.com/castles-in-wales/2 December 2021
