Discover England's best-kept secrets

What is England to you? Perhaps our rich history - brought to life by ornate buildings and landmarks gives England its enduring character. Perhaps your England is the delightful gift of a luxury spa break complete with a relaxing swim every morning at a magnificent hotel, spa or country club.

Do you crave the excitement of zorbing or does the idea of afternoon tea on the terrace of the Tate Modern sound like the right mix of ingredients? Perhaps an English holiday provides a rare opportunity to get in touch with nature. Where ever you go be sure to look out for the English rose - a sign of quality.

In this edition we have lots of prizes and special offers to give away so scroll down and Enjoy England! Read our celebrity secrets feature to find out where the stars go for their holidays and visit our blog (below) to see what Enjoy England staff did this year.
