IT’S English Tourism Week – so get out there and discover what’s on our own doorstep! That’s the message from the good folks at VisitEngland, and I agree entirely. There are amazing places, people and experiences here at home.

If you’re looking for inspiration, head to VisitEngland, have a trawl through the UK archive on this very blog, or get out an old-school map and set out to see where you get to. That’s very often the best way to start.

Share your finds on social, using hashtag #EnglishTourismWeek23 and tag @VisitEngland. On #throwbackthursdays share photos and memories of your favourite holidays in England to celebrate the times and places we love!
