2. To the west lies Stratford-on-Avon, an attractive town, famous as the birthplace of William Shakespeare in the 16th century. A day here must include a trip to a performance by the Royal Shakespeare Company at the Royal Shakespeare or Swan Theatre.

3. In eastern England is Norwich, a proud city with narrow, winding alleyways, antique shops, a large outdoor market, cosy pubs and coffee shops. The city's cathedral is a magnificent piece of architecture, and there is even a castle completed with dungeons!

4. At the geographical heart of England there is the vibrant city of Birmingham with its excellent shopping and entertainment to cater for every taste. The visitor will also find a legacy of attractive Victorian architecture and the intricate network of canals as evidence of a rich industrial heritage.

5. Manchester is another warm-hearted city. Innovative attractions include the Museum of Science and Industry, the Air and Space Museum and the Cranada Studios Tour, where visitors can explore the sets of famous television shows like Coronation Street, or sit on the Back Benches of a lifesize House of Commons.

London

1. London began as a Roman settlement in AD 431) and grew rapidly into a large market town. After the Romans left in AD 4102) the town declined because the new conquerors, Anglo-Saxons, lived in small farming communities.

2. A new era began for London when William the Conqueror came to Britain in 1066. Medieval London ceased to exist on 2 September 1666 when a fire destroyed three-quarters of it. In the 18th and 19th centuries London developed as a commercial centre.

3. The gradual growth of the city helps to explain the fact that London does not have just one centre, it has a number of centres: the financial and business centre, the shopping and entertainment centre in the West End, the government centre in Westminster.

4. Museums and art galleries abound in London, but two of the best are the British Museum and the National Gallery. The British Museum, which is still free to enter, is the oldest museum in the world and contains treasures from the Roman, Greek, Egyptian, Oriental and Asiatic cultures. Its important artefacts include Egyptian mummies and their sarcophagi.

5. The National Gallery houses a marvelous collection of over 2,200 European paintings from the 13th to the 20th centuries. Of the many beautiful churches and cathedrals in London, Westminster Abbey is perhaps the most important.

6. The Tower of London has a fascinating past as a royal residence, armory and treasury. Nearby is Tower Bridge, the only bridge in London whose roadway rises to allow ships to pass through. Inside is an entertaining exhibition bringing the history of its construction and engineering to life.
