Countryside Tours
The Midlands of England are best enjoyed in a leisurly manner. Why not take one of the many tours available? The Derbyshire tour, put on by the Derbyshire Benefit League, is one example. It includes five of England's famous "Treasure Houses" as well as so many of its most well-known stately homes, castles, gardens, and ruins, in addition to driving through some of England's most breath-taking and diverse countryside, picturesque villages, and visiting the sites of several movies and TV series.
The Midlands of England, and especially the south-east portion, is one of the most historic areas of England because of its proximity to both London and France. And because of the milder climate, the entire south also boasts some of Britain's most gorgeous, world-renowned gardens—in fact, Kent is known as the "Garden of England" and the West Country is famous for its gardens.
