You’ve set your heart on adventure travel in England, but not sure what type of you want to venture on? Don’t be daft and nervous, read on! There’s much more than fancy tea dates and buttered scones in England. Water, land, wheeled, animal, and good-deed adventures await!

Heard of Ascot, which hosts thoroughbred horse racing? Whether you’re a beginner or a jockey in your spare time, there are many horse treks and trails available throughout the country. It’s a beautifully scenic and breathtaking way to discover parts of the country that aren’t accessible via faster modes of transport. You’ll come across real Englishmen too- especially if you throw on a top hat or ride side-saddle.

English people love the outdoors, and they seem to be immune to the rain. There are countless hiking programs, which can be upgraded to cycling paths that come with plenty of opportunities to play in the mud. For those that prefer sea to land, there’s surfing off the east coast, sailing options in and out of yachts, and rafting rides that’ll make Harry’s adventures seem tame in comparison.

Any more ideas, do you say? Oh darling, there are plenty more adventures in England you can choose from! From conservation projects (imagine being part of a team that discovers history dating back to Roman times!) to kicking around footballs in the stadiums home to leading football clubs like Manchester United, the list is as long as Hadrian’s Wall. England is as rich in adventure as London is as rich in… well, everything.
