Peak District from the Road

The Peak District has to be one of the most beautiful areas to visit in England. Rural and picturesque villages are speckled around the stunning countryside, not far from Liverpool, Manchester, and Birmingham. Typical stone fences line the roads to prevent sheep from straying.

Picturesque Street in York

Harry Potter fans come because it looks like Diagon Alley, but The Shambles in York has also been voted Britain’s most picturesque street in the Google Street View awards. The buildings on either side of this 14th-century walking precinct are decorated with hanging flower baskets.
