Things To Know Britain Explained A Diverse Unity Village Greens and Seaside From Oxford to the Lakes Wild Wales North to the Highlands Seeing the Country The Taste of Britain Protected by Sea	Village Greens and Seaside Throughout scores of picturesque villages in southern and western England, you will find the essence of the country where people still play cricket on village greens, dance around maypoles on May Day and sell jars of local honey at village festivals - weather permitting, of course. Yet England also boasts great cities and historic towns that bustle with life. The great seaport of Bristol is one. The Georgian city of Bath, where golden Cotswold stone and the classical elegance of 18th-century fashion conspired to create one of the world's most astounding cityscapes, seems consumed with golden light in the summer sun. Miles of coastline fringe the English Channel. On the southern coast are the cliffs of Beachy Head, famous resorts like Brighton and Bournemouth, as well as long stretches of green and peaceful coast that run westward past Dorset's limestone cliffs and the red cliffs of Devon to the golden beaches of Cornwall.
