Manchester
has thrown off its grimy industrial image for good and
reinvented itself as a truly contemporary metropolis.
Blackpool is Britain’s
favourite seaside resort. When the autumn nights draw
in, the seafront is transformed into an electrical extravaganza
and is packed wall to wall with attractions and entertainment,
taking the holiday season right through to November
each year.
Very few places in
Britain can hope to compete with the undeniable beauty
and romance offered by the county of Cumbria. England’s
second largest county – and its least populated
– ows much of its appeal to the magnificent Lake
District National Park. It boasts England’s five
highest mountains and the country’s deepest lake.
Dotted across the land are ancient stone circles and
barrows, the remains of Roman forts and the remnants
of once-important industries such as lead mining and
charcoal burning.
This dazzling region, covering almost 900 square miles,
contains no less than 16 ‘great’ lakes as
well as tarns, glacier-gouged valleys, chocolate-box
villages – and even some marvellous beaches.
North of the Lake District is Carlisle, the "last
city in England" for those heading to Scotland
up the M6 motorway.
