Essential Great Britain Bucket List Items by Us

An England tour with Costsaver has all the iconic sights included, from the thrilling Tower of London to the ancient streets of York.

Windsor Castle behind green pastures of grass

Admire Windsor Castle

This mighty fortress is one of the most lavish places to visit in England and has been the home of kings and queens for nearly 1,000 years. It’s now the oldest and largest lived-in castle in the world and we'll take you to view it in all its glory.

View Of York Minster

Walk the Historic Cobbles of York

Take a medieval journey through York to the impressive York Minster, the 13th-century Gothic cathedral that towers over the city. Admire the beautiful stained glass windows and hear tales of Romans, roses and ghosts. You can even walk along The Shambles, a street so old it was mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086.

Anne Hathaway's Cottage in England

Wander Through Stratford-upon-Avon, the Birthplace of Shakespeare

Wind your way through the lush green countryside to Stratford-upon-Avon, the medieval town where England’s favourite storyteller was born and laid to rest. You can delve into his life and imagine you’re in a midsummer’s night dream, as many of the streets and squares remain as they were in the time of Shakespeare.

England Tailored by You

Create your own rules on a tailor made holiday to England with our range of Optional Experiences. Choose from adventures like exploring Wray Castle and taking a steam train journey from Lakeside to Haverthwaite.

Take a Private Cruise on Lake Windermere

You can't miss taking an exclusive cruise through the Lake District, the stunning area that inspired the likes of Beatrix Potter and William Wordsworth. You'll glide along Lake Windemere, Englands largest and most beautiful lake, to see the northern coastline, deserted islands, gorgeous gardens and houses and even Wray Castle.

City Hall in Southwark, London

Stroll Down the Southbank in London

I grew up in London and one of my favorite places to go when I've been away for a while is the Southbank. A wander down this side of the Thames lets you see some of London's famous landmarks - Tower Bridge, the London Eye, Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament. There is amazing street food and plenty of places to perch outside with a glass of something fruity when the sun is shining. If you're after something quirkier, spend an hour at the Namco Funscape arcade - jump in the bumper cars and play the claw machine to your heart's content.

Cottage Pie

A British pub-food staple, you can't go past a traditional cottage pie served hot! A generations-old favourite, its story began as a clever idea of housewives, to create a warm and hearty meal from leftovers like cooked beef or lamb, packed with vegetables like peas and carrots, and lashings of mashed potatoes. Delicious!

Scones

It doesn’t get more British than scones and tea! If you need an afternoon pick-me-up, head to your local cafe and pick out a classic English scone - the best kinds are fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside, and smothered with clotted cream and jam - and wash it all down with a steaming pot of tea.

Cornish Pasty

These baked pockets of heaven are made from shortcrust pastry filled with a mix of beef, potatoes, onions, swede and egg. When cooked together it forms a rich gravy, sealed in its own delicious wrapping. The traditional Cornish pasty originated as the portable lunch of Cornish tin miners who couldn’t return to the surface at lunchtime.

When is best to visit England

How to Travel Responsibly in England

Take the Tube

Before you hop in a taxi for one, think about taking the Tube on your London trip. This underground metro system can take you all over the London region in a cheaper and more local way.

Leave No Trace

Help keep England beautiful by making sure you take all your rubbish with you and reduce your plastic waste by reusing bags and bottles.

Eat Local

Head to the charming town pub for a Sunday Roast, or the local fish ‘n chips shop for a newspaper filled with greasy goodness. You’ll get to meet the friendly locals and see the real England.
