Northern England
This region presents striking upland landscapes, including the Yorkshire Dales (immortalised by James Herriott) and the Lake District, one of the most picturesque areas of England that inspired writers like William Wordsworth and Beatrix Potter.
York is a city blessed with historic buildings including York Minster, the largest medieval church in England. Chester is an ancient town complete with city walls and half-timbered stores. Liverpool, birthplace of the Beatles, was formerly the centre of the world’s maritime trade. Little survives of Hadrian’s Wall, built by the Romans across Britain. More recent structures include Alnwick Castle (Hogwart’s Academy to Harry Potter fans) and Durham Cathedral. Magnificent country houses include Castle Howard and Chatsworth.
