Tourism
While many people limit their discovery of England to a trip to London, the region has plenty of other points of interest. Several cities, such as Bath, Cambridge, and Canterbury, are well worth a visit. Beyond the London conurbation and major urban centres, nature is also very much present in England, from the Cornwall to the Lake District or Peak District, including the beautiful Exmoor National Park.
