Drive a bit further into the country and discover the Heart of England. Shropshire, in the west of the region, is where England meets Wales. Here you will find beautiful medieval towns with distinctive "black and white" Tudor architecture that continues into Herefordshire.

The Lake District in the heart of Cumbria, is an area of outstanding natural beauty with sixteen great lakes, from which rise huge mountains and craggy fells.
