3 ~~~ Getting around England: Transportation Tips

Most places in England are accessible by train or bus.

However, public transport costs are among the highest in Europe: travel can eat up a large part of your budget.

It pays to investigate all the special deals and passes,
some of which are only available outside England – and for some journeys it may be worth flying.

It’s often cheaper to drive yourself around the country, though fuel and car rental are expensive –
and traffic congestion can be very bad.

5 ~~~ Eating and drinking in England

Changing tastes have transformed England’s food and drink over the last decade.

Much importance is being placed on “ethical” eating – notably sourcing products locally, but also using organic, humanely produced, quality ingredients.

Good, moderately priced restaurants can now be found everywhere: increasingly, England’s best meals are being served in otherwise modest, independently owned establishments, frequently lying off the beaten track.

The old-fashioned English pub – seemingly impervious to fashion – remains an enduring social institution, often the best introduction to town or village life.
