With 145 islands, Cornwell is a great place to do some outdoor activities in the summer or discover its art scene in the winter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
What to do<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Island-hopping:<\/strong> There\u2019s an army of boats <\/a>waiting to take you on full-day and half-day trips to a number of the Scilly Islands. Some will even drop you off at the uninhabited islands. Don\u2019t worry, they\u2019ll pick you up, too.
Horseback riding:<\/strong> If the tides are on your side you can even ride your horse<\/a> out into the sea. Regular evening fishing trips and wildlife tours leave from St Mary\u2019s, the largest island.
Arts and crafts:<\/strong> The natural light and the jaw-dropping landscapes of the archipelago have long attracted all types of artists, such as the glass artist, Oriel Hicks, whose ocean-inspired work you can view at Phoenix Craft Studios<\/a>. Take a look at the island\u2019s public art, visit a local museum<\/a>, or go for a painting workshop by the beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/span>2. Cotswolds<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n

Photo by Alexey Fedorenko<\/a> on Shutterstock<\/a><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n Roughly two hours from London, the Cotswolds\u2019 golden stone buildings and rolling green hills (the \u2018Wolds\u2019), make it one of the most beautiful places in England. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whether you feel like cuddling up with a cardigan and some warm tea next to a cozy fireplace or running through an empty field, letting the breeze take away your everyday worries, the Cotswolds are here to sweep you off your feet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
What to do<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Bibury<\/strong>: With its 17th-century stone buildings, it\u2019s not hard to see why William Morris, a British textile designer, poet, novelist, and socialist activist, called Bibury \u201cthe most beautiful village in England.\u201d If you are traveling from London and looking for things to do in England, this tour of Bibury\u2019s markets and villages<\/a> will take you through the best spots in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kelmscott Manor:<\/strong> Speaking of William Morris, you can add a visit to his former home<\/a> to your list of beautiful places in England. Morris drew inspiration from the home and its barns, meadows, streams, and gardens for his writings and designs, some of which you\u2019ll find on display there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
