The North of England Travel Tips

The North of England

England's North Country has something for everyone. Manchester, the country's "second city," is a center of arts, media and sports, and Liverpool, too, is a world-renown cultural center and, famously, the birthplace of The Beatles

The Lake District's Windermere, home to the largest lake in England, is the busiest and most commercial of the lakes. The streets are thronged with ice-cream sellers, souvenir stalls, chintzy tearooms and fish-and-chips shops, but the lake itself remains undeniably beautiful.
