Extreme activities
The best way to see England's stunning countryside is from the air. There's a small but thriving hang-gliding and paragliding scene in England. Or if you want to experience the wide panoramics without leaving terra firma, why not try mountain climbing or rock climbing? 

Championship golf courses
It doesn't cost the earth to play on the same course as Tiger and friends. So don't worry if you're on a budget. The majority of courses have very reasonable green fees and are easy to book.

Fishing in England
There’s a wealth of options – from mighty carp to elusive eels, silvery salmon to wild brown trout – the choice is yours.

Take a vineyard tour (www.enjoyengland.com/ideas/food-and-drink/drink/vineyard-tours/index.aspx)
Enjoy a tour of an award winning vineyard and learn about the whole process, from planting to harvesting, and if you've dreamt about spending lazy summer days amongst the leaves and grapes of your very own wine producing vineyard? Take a step towards that dream and adopt your very own vine from one of England's premier wine producers.

Woodland walks
Two billion trees cover just over 1 million hectares of woodland. No surprise then that you're never far from their lush and tranquil canopy. 

Family fun
The best days are those during which everyone enjoys themselves. Never is this truer than when children are involved! And if Dad spends too much time working, he’ll want to see the children having fun.
