England under the skin

by KennetRose - last update: Sep 23, 2002

On the beach, Hope Cove, Devon
The United Kingdom is a pretty crowded place - with one fifth of the population of the United States packed into a space that would sit comfortably within Pennsylvania.

Even then, a lot of it is sparsely populated. It's a land of hidden secrets, impossible to get to know without spending a lot of time here. England is a varied and subtle place, and you need to be patient and let it come to you.

This page attempts to guide the traveller to the highlights, well-known or otherwise. Some of the places mentioned are the subject of other pages of mine, and I've indicated where this is the case.

Pros:"A land with history oozing from under every rock"
Cons:"Overcrowded and sometimes downright rude!"
In A Nutshell:"Infinitely subtle if you know where to look"

 I don't appreciate being called a "wimpy antipodean" I had forgotten how condescending U lot can be towards us Colonials, are U peeved that we chose Vegemite over Marmite? Is it necessary for U to advocate one of your customs by denigrating one of ours?

 Nice Local Customs Tips! I enjoyed reading them. I won't complain about the English when I'll be there lol :))

 I want to do rural Britain some time in the future, and your thoughts have been most helpful. I will be referring back to your site for advice.
