England has an image of long winter and cloudy weather.If you want to visit, I recommend the summer when it's easy to go sightseeing!It is also good to go to see the gardens where you can enjoy various plants, the lake area with beautiful scenery, and the popular scenic view of Seven Sisters.
I will introduce you to the recommended sightseeing spots for your summer trip to England.
1. Seven Sisters
Seven Sisters is located in a small town in southern England called Seaford, named after a huge white wall of chalk limestone that looks like seven women.
The contrast between the blue sky and the sea, the bright green meadows and white walls fascinates many tourists.Erosion is progressing in tens of centimeters a year, and it is also precious that the appearance changes little by little every time you see it.

2. Lake District
The Lake District is a popular summer resort for British people.The secret to its popularity is that it still retains the good old days of England.
With 16 lakes and more than 500 ponds, trees and flowers create a fresh atmosphere.This is the very world of Peter Rabbit.On a sunny day, the blue sky reflects on the lake, and the scene is breathtaking beauty.
3. Cotswolds
The "Cotswolds" is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Britain, and houses made of thatched roofs and honey-colored stones create a world like picture books.There are many places where people actually live, but they are well-maintained so as not to ruin this world view.
It is a tasteful place even in the gray sky in autumn and winter, but the bright summer sun still makes you look the most beautiful.
4. Brighton
All Londoners go bathing in the summer in Brighton, a city in the south.It is an art and antique city and is a popular tourist destination throughout the year, but in summer it is filled with people sunbathing on the beach.
There are many tourist attractions, including an amusement facility projecting onto the beach, Brighton Pier and an observatory with a 360-degree panoramic view.It's about an hour from London, and it's also recommended for a day trip.
5. Margate
William Turner, an English painter, is the very country's representative painter on the 20 bill, which was changed to a new design in 2020.The city "Margate," painted by Turner, is about an hour and a half by train from London.The beach welcomes you just a short walk from the station, and especially in summer, many tourists visit.
In recent years, the modern museum Turner Contemporary has been redeveloped, and the number of fashionable cafes and restaurants is increasing, so you can enjoy walking.
6. Hastings
"Hastings" is known as the setting for "The Battle of Hastings" in 1066.Although it is a historic city, it is now popular as one of England's best beach resorts. In the summer, families who swim in the sea can enjoy seafood such as fish and chips, a specialty of England.
There are many cute antique shops and general stores, and I recommend you to take a walk.
7. Cue Garden/London
The Royal British Botanical Garden "Que Garden" is a historic botanical garden with over 50,000 different plants on display on a vast site. In the park, you can see plants from all over the world, not only beautifully blooming European flowers but also a greenhouse full of southern plants. There is also a Japanese garden, so you can feel a sense of affinity.
There are many outdoor exhibitions, so I recommend you to enjoy a sunny summer day.
