Feel England in close-up as you hop on and off the train straight into the heart of our beautiful historic cities; each one a vibrant, richly cultural, beautiful and surprising place with a story to tell and your own to write.

See knights in the day, browse medieval shopping malls, explore pubs older than America, or visit the coast to coast wall built to keep the neighbours out.

From stories of monarchs and merchants, to breakfast on the beach, Shakespeare, Harry Potter and the Magna Carta, England’s Historic Cities has it all. Plan your perfect break, complete with tours, accommodation, attractions and rail pass.
