If you want to plan a tour of some of these areas, then here are a few to add to your list.
Haworth, Yorkshire
This charming village in the picturesque county of Yorkshire was home to the Brontë sisters and was where they wrote many of their most beloved stories. The village itself is a beautiful spot to explore, with pretty cobbled streets, cute shops and cafes, and stunning views of the surrounding countryside.
Sherwood Forest, Nottinghamshire
This ancient woodland is a wonderful place to explore. Its life as a forest began at the end of the last ice age, so its mystical winding paths have many tales to tell. This forest is also known as the home of the fictional character Robin Hood, and where many of his exciting adventures took place.
Shakespeare’s Globe, London
This working theatre is an incredibly realistic reconstruction of the original Globe Theatre for which Shakespeare wrote his plays in the 1500s. It’s built in the same area as the original, on the south bank of the River Thames, and hosts many plays and performances.
