Heart of England
The beating heart of England is home to a glittering array of treasures. The Cotswolds are what holiday daydreams are made of, with thatched roofs, gently undulating hills and honey-coloured architecture. It’s perhaps no wonder they’ve been designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Green valleys and fertile farmlands characterise Worcestershire and in the county town, Worcester Cathedral rises majestically above the River Severn. Meanwhile its sister county of Herefordshire perches prettily on the Welsh border.
On the other side of the Cotswolds, Oxfordshire dazzles with its revered university and dreaming spires. Further north in Derbyshire, wild moorlands meet verdant valleys and over in Leicestershire, market towns sell Melton Mowbray pork pies, Blue stilton and Red Leicester cheeses and Belvoir cordials, and in Leicester, the final resting place of King Richard III was recently discovered.
