England is at its greenest, freshest, blooming ideal in April and May well.Highlights of the season involve the following:
The excellent English parks and gardens, such as Sissinghurst in Kent
or Hidcote Manor in Gloucestershire, are at their peak of lushness.
Bright yellow fields of rape (a European plant inside the mustard
loved ones) brighten the countryside. Daffodils blooming along the
lovely River Cam in Cambridge and all through the Lake District
form an unforgettable image of an English spring.
In London, the Chelsea Flower Show will be the quintessential spring
event.
Airfares are lower than in summer.
The sky stays light properly into the evening.
But keep in mind these springtime pitfalls:
Throughout the half-term school holidays in late February and for three
weeks about Easter, visitors pour into London. Because of this, the
main attractions have longer lines (queues in Britspeak), and hotel
rooms may be harder to uncover. During Easter week, towns and significant
attractions outside London get crowded at the same time.
The weather is much more unpredictable than usual.
Public transportation throughout England is lowered in the course of holi-
day periods.
Several museums, shops, and restaurants close on Very good Friday,
Easter, and Easter Monday.
