North WestEngland’s North West – This is the region for city breaks, historic streets and buildings. It’s a region to walk, cycle and discover the landscapes and wildlife of unspoilt villages.
There is always a feast of sporting entertainment including international cricket, championship golf courses and Premiership football. Some of the major attractions in this area are the cities of Liverpool, Manchester and Blackpool. If you prefer a place 'to get away from it all', Cumbria is your pick.
Liverpool is fast becoming one of Europe’s most popular city break destinations. It has moved into the sights of travellers and tourists from around the world, after being awarded European Capital of Culture in 2008. Famous of course as the birthplace of The Beatles, but also with more theatres, museums and galleries than any other UK city outside London.
Liverpool’s history as one of the world’s great ports has left a remarkable legacy of art and architecture that gives it a distinctive look and unique atmosphere.
Manchester offers a mixture of old and new. It has its industrial heritage, Victorian architecture and culture popularised by 'Coronation Street', but it also has a recently re-developed shopping centre and excellent communications with its modern tramway system. Here there's every experience imaginable, from fine dining and top-class theatre, to major sporting events and year-round festivals.
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.
