7 things we love about travel in England

We’ve listed seven fun, quirky things to do in England, whether you’re rediscovering home turf or travelling in England for the first time…

We’ve got a confession to make. Sometimes, we’re so busy dreaming of our next overseas adventure that we overlook the treasures in our own back yard. England has long captured the imaginations of travellers from other parts of the world, but for us? Wanderlust is based in London, England’s mighty capital – so occasionally, we can get a little blasé.

Shame on us! Next month (on 23 April), it’s St George’s Day (England’s national day), so what better excuse to travel in England – and to encourage you to as well – than by remembering what makes it such a great place to explore?

1. The English are optimists…

2. …But there’s always something to do if it rains

3. Our road trips are world-class

4. We find joy in the silliest of things

5. We’ve got wildlife in abundance

6. We’re more exotic than we think

7. And believe it or not, we’re quite good in the kitchen
