England is somewhat less accessible in other regions. Explore London’s West End, from Picadilly Circus and Oxford Street all the way to the Southbank, where Shakespeare’s Globe Theater and Southward Cathedral stand.

Stratford Upon Avon, Shakespeare’s hometown, is also famous for its Cottswald-style homes, two of which Shakespeare himself occupied. 4. Stonehenge
Stonehenge is located only about an hour drive away from the Cottswalds. The popular icon of English mystery is a popular destination for study abroad participants in England. The structure lays amid fields dotted with burial grounds, making it the scene of much mystery and excavation.
 5. The Coast
England’s coast offers a relaxing retreat for college students on study abroad programs. In fact, many programs arrange for students to spend a weekend away from their natural surroundings and on the coast. Torquay is one of England’s more famous coastal towns. The rocky beaches and swift winds make it a destination not for sun-bathers, but for walkers and sailors.
 6. Liverpool
Liverpool is located about 1.5 hours south of London. As the home of the Beatles and the world-famous Liverpool soccer team, the city draws study abroad students from several cultural backgrounds. Liverpool is also famous for its pubs and party scene - making it a worry-spot for study abroad advisors keeping an eye on their students in England. 7. Birmingham
Birmingham lies to the far northern part of England very near Scotland. because of its proximity to Scotland, many Birmingham residents have a thick and barely understandable accent. Most study abroad students don’t find cause to travel to Birmingham, but those that do, discover one of England’s most notable working class cities, famous for community pride and defensive aggression.
 8. Bath
Bath is home to the famous Roman Baths, which occupy several buildings above ground and underground. The intricate tiling awes and amazes study abroad students who can appreciate the technology that was (or was not) available at the time of its construction. Most study abroad students choose to stay in one of the many charming bed and breakfasts during their stay in Bath. 9. Hastings
Hastings is the site of the famous Battle of Hastings n 1066 in which France invaded England and continued through the country to establish the Lakes District. Study abroad students can bare witness to one of the frequent battle reenactments and walk around the town fairs, in which battle-feigns display their medieval wares for sale.Â
10. Warwick
Warwick is home to one of England’s most prized castles. Warwick Castle is world-famous for his well-kept and lavishly landscaped gardens, including a consortium. The castle itself is said to be haunted and study abroad students can visit the torture chamber for a look into England’s most devilish historic past-time.
