Central England & The Midlands

Bards, battles, Brummies and beaches abound in this amazing area of contrasts!

Visit Central England to see areas of outstanding natural beauty, the home of William Shakespeare, and England’s second city, Birmingham. Central England is a place steeped in art, history, and culture. See one of Britain’s architectural jewels, Lincoln Cathedral, or visit the home of Shakespeare in Stratford-upon-Avon. You can also see the inspiration for one of his most beloved plays - the battlefields and tomb of Richard III in Leicestershire. It’s not all history though, with the Peak District, cosmopolitan Birmingham, and the traditional seaside resort of Skegness for some seaside fun. Travel back to the golden age of steam in Shropshire; explore the serene beauty of Rutland's nature reserves; join the Merry Men and follow in Robin Hood's footsteps in Nottinghamshire; and wander by sleepy canals in rural Northamptonshire. The area offers a host of unforgettable experiences.
