England

England is steeped in history and tradition. It is famously known for its monarchy, centuries-old palaces and castles, tea, picturesque counties, London skyline, River Thames, The Stonehenge, famous writers like William Shakespeare and Charles Dickens, celebrities and athletes like the Beatles, David Beckham, and other British icons.

Many travelers come to see its city attractions like the Big Ben, the London Eye, art museums, theaters, and artisan and culinary districts, and its idyllic countryside that features charming cottages, walks, churches, flower gardens, and rolling hills.  

It often plays host to the British Open, one of the world’s four major tournaments. Playing a big role in keeping a vibrant golf culture in England is the England Golf, a governing body for amateur golf in the country.
