When you leave the big city, you see the beautiful landscape it&#8217;s surrounded by with the patchwork of fields and pasture bordered by hedgerows or dry stone walls, depending on where you are. The countryside, with its villages and small towns, is full of stories, and as people hear these stories, it opens them up to how many different accents there are here. For many visitors from overseas, Britain is tiny compared to where they come from, so they&#8217;re surprised to see how diverse it is.<\/p>\n<p>In the countryside, people can find the quaintness that they&#8217;d imagined back at home, especially in areas such as the Cotswolds with its idyllic, thatched cottages. They get to see all of the things they have read about Britain in their storybooks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-6378\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2016\/06\/Cottage_iStock_ZambeziShark_www.istockphoto-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Explore Britain\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Cottage_iStock_ZambeziShark_www.istockphoto-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Cottage_iStock_ZambeziShark_www.istockphoto-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Cottage_iStock_ZambeziShark_www.istockphoto-330x220.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Cottage_iStock_ZambeziShark_www.istockphoto-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Cottage_iStock_ZambeziShark_www.istockphoto-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Cottage_iStock_ZambeziShark_www.istockphoto.jpg 1698w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><strong>How do you think London compares to other towns and cities across Britain?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>\u201cLondon is an amazing city with so much going on and so many incredible museums, but I think it can overwhelm people with its sheer size on first impressions. In this way, it&#8217;s good to experience British towns and cities on a smaller scale.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Do you have any favourite places in Britain?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>\u201cI have lots; I love scenery, so the Lake District \u2013 which is stunning \u2013 is a personal favourite. Wales is also very beautiful, and often overlooked. Everyone knows Oxford and Cambridge for their universities, but these cities also have a lovely local charm about them. Stratford upon Avon is well worth a visit, too, especially this year with the 400<sup>th<\/sup> anniversary of Shakespeare&#8217;s death.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-6379\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2016\/06\/Cambridge_iStock_frankix_www.istockphoto-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Explore Britain\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Cambridge_iStock_frankix_www.istockphoto-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Cambridge_iStock_frankix_www.istockphoto-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Cambridge_iStock_frankix_www.istockphoto-330x220.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Cambridge_iStock_frankix_www.istockphoto-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Cambridge_iStock_frankix_www.istockphoto-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Cambridge_iStock_frankix_www.istockphoto.jpg 1698w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Do you take people to Britain&#8217;s lesser-known destinations?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>\u201cAt Trafalgar we include Hidden Treasures in itineraries, to take people to places they probably wouldn&#8217;t think of visiting themselves. York is an amazing city that&#8217;s full of surprises and fascinating stories. When people are being guided around a destination, they can discover a lot that they wouldn&#8217;t if they went alone; they&#8217;re with someone who can give them the lowdown.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3><strong>What quintessentially British experiences can people have?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>\u201cEveryone should treat themselves to afternoon tea, have a pint of beer (not warm) in a pub, and of course, they should try fish and chips. People have a different experience of British food when they travel outside of London, too. A lot of country pubs focus on farm-to-fork cuisine, serving up the regional produce. People should try the food in each place they visit, because travel is all about experiencing what&#8217;s there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-6380\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2016\/06\/CountryPubDinner_iStock_scholes1_www.istockphoto-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Explore Britain\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/CountryPubDinner_iStock_scholes1_www.istockphoto-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/CountryPubDinner_iStock_scholes1_www.istockphoto-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/CountryPubDinner_iStock_scholes1_www.istockphoto-330x220.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/CountryPubDinner_iStock_scholes1_www.istockphoto-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/CountryPubDinner_iStock_scholes1_www.istockphoto-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/CountryPubDinner_iStock_scholes1_www.istockphoto.jpg 1698w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><strong>What do you like about Britain throughout the seasons?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>\u201cI like the colours of each season.
