essential england 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. 

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. You might even bump into Queen Elizabeth since it’s her favorite official residence.

Windsor Castle

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.

York Minster

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 favorite 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.

Stroll down the Southbank in London

I grew up in London and one of my favourite 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.

what to eat & drink in england

Cottage pie, Cornish pastries, fish & chips, bangers & mash… English food is warm and welcoming and we’ll show you where to find the best eats in the country.

Cottage Pie

A British pub-food staple, you can't go past a traditional cottage pie served hot! A generations-old favorite, it's 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!
Read more... Read less...

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.
Read more... Read less...

Cornish pastry

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 pastry originated as the portable lunch of Cornish tin miners who couldn’t return to the surface at lunchtime.

Best time to go walking in England

From the Cotswolds to the Lake District, England is packed with gorgeous walking trails and charming countryside. It’s best to get out there in the summer months, but we also love the autumn leaves or lush springtime.
