Experience the south of England
Due to the proximity of the Gulf Stream, southern England is characterized by a mild climate all year round. Due to the proximity to the sea, the region offers great opportunities for water sports of all kinds and beautiful walks along the coast. You will be amazed by the countless, typically English gardens - in addition to the gorgeous flowers you will discover historic buildings or mansions whose history you should not miss. Be sure to head to Oxford, where you can either visit the university or discover the historical treasures of England's oldest recorded city. Cornwall offers you as a highlight its picturesque villages.
