According to the annual British Travel Awards (BTA) survey which polled some 15,000 people, the recession has had very little effect on consumers' desire to travel.

All the regions of England are easily accessible from the
invigorating capital city, London, famous for its history, culture
and pageantry. In England's North Country lakes, mountains, castles
and craggy coastlines create a scenic splendour while further south
the medieval city of York contrasts with lively Liverpool and
Manchester, both famous for their football teams and exhausting
nightlife.
Visitors travelling south will discover a quieter England, where
a tranquil air blows through country lanes or across shimmering
fens, while the gleaming spires of Oxford stand proud above a
University city that's changed little over the centuries. South of
London the 'Garden of England' stretches out with bountiful
farmlands to the coast, where visitors will find charming seaside
resorts and fishing villages. From the Cotswolds to the craggy
coast of Cornwall, the West Country presents an idyllic pastoral
existence, with charming thatched cottages and winding roads
through lush, green fields.
With its pomp and pageantry, wonderful idiosyncrasies and
vibrant diversity, today's England is friendly, welcoming,
fascinating and fun.
