England Rentals By Owner
Home of the Beatles, Big Ben, and Buckingham Palace, England is a great vacation rental site. Though England’s climate sometimes gets a bad reputation for being overcast and rainy, England actually enjoys beautiful weather for much of the year and is full of unique attractions and famous landmarks worth visiting on your next vacation rental. Whether you are interested in viewing famous castles, medieval cathedrals, popular beaches, inland lakes, or desolate, open moors, you’ll find it all and more in your England vacation rental.
The busy city of London is home to many famous landmarks known around the world. Try and make the Queens Guard show an emotion at the Buckingham Palace changing of the guards. Set your watch to the official chimes of Big Ben. Or take a stroll around the Tower of London where they used to contain royal prisoners. London will be holding the 2012 Olympic Games – it’s actually the first city to host the games on three different occasions.
Theatre lovers will enjoy their England vacation rental in Stratford-upon-Avon where the famous Shakespeare spent most of his life. This little town hosts over 3 million visitors a year! Some must-see attractions include the Royal Shakespeare Theatre on the Avon River and the Holy Trinity Church where Shakespeare was baptized and is now buried. You can also come visit five separate homes related to William Shakespeare’s life – among them are Anne Hathaway’s cottage, Mary Arden’s house, and Hall’s Croft, Shakespeare’s daughter’s house.
Speaking of literature, England is home to Nottingham and Sherwood Forest. This home to the literary legend of Robin Hood has both Nottingham Castle and The Tales of Robin Hood, a popular tourist attraction that features a medieval banquet hall and a Robin Hood-themed ride. While you’re in Nottingham, be sure and do a little shopping at Old Market Square – it’s the largest square in England.
For some historic architecture and a little of England’s merry old history, be sure and travel north to Warwickshire, England. Warwick Castle, in Warwick, England, is a medieval keep castle located on a scenic rocky cliff. The castle remains, which were originally built by William the Conqueror, include one of the world’s largest siege engines, a motte and bailey, a dry moat, and a great hall which is supposedly haunted! While you’re there be sure and catch the live show telling about the murder of Fulke Greville.
From the Beatles Story in Liverpool (the only all-Beatles museum in the world!) to the natural hot springs in Bath; from the University of Oxford (the oldest university in the English-speaking world) to the structure of Stonehenge, England is full of mysteries and histories. And from the gentle, rolling hills to the famous beaches, you’ll be sure to find plenty of things to see and do during your England vacation rental.
