全英六大最受留学生追捧旅行胜地：Lake District、Highland、British Museum、Cambridge、Oxford、Lyme-Park、Roman Bath。
TOP 1: Lake District
TOP 1: Lake District
The Lake District is intimately associated with English literature in the 18th and 19th centuries. Thomas Gray was the first to bring the region to attention, when he wrote a journal of his Grand Tour in 1769, but it was William Wordsworth whose poems were most famous and influential. Wordsworth's poem "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud", inspired by the sight of daffodils on the shores of Ullswater, remains one of the most famous in the English language. During the early 20th century, the children's author Beatrix Potter was in residence at Hill Top Farm, setting many of her famous Peter Rabbit books in the Lake District. Her life was made into a biopic film, starring Renée Zellweger and Ewan McGregor。
英国乡村那些质朴美丽的景致，相信大家在无数名著中都有所耳闻。而湖区 (The Lake District)就是其中的代表。这里可谓是英国人的“后花园”，是本地人心中乡村中的乡村，最能体现纯本土化的英国式生活。住在城市里的人们总是一有假期就往这里钻，有钱人都爱这里置业，安排自己的度假别墅。也难怪，此地青山秀水，无论是家庭聚会还是情侣约会，或者你只是想自己待着，到湖边转上一圈，亦是好的。
无数名人都曾在这里留下过他们的足迹，包括华兹华斯(William Wordsworth)，和画兔子的波特小姐(Miss Potter)。如果你也是他们的粉丝，不妨在湖边漫步的时候顺带瞻仰。
TOP 2: Highland(1)
The Scottish Highlands include the rugged and mountainous regions of Scotland north and west of the Highland Boundary Fault, although the exact boundaries are not clearly defined, particularly to the east. The area is generally sparsely populated, with many mountain ranges dominating the region, and includes the highest mountain in the British Isles, Ben Nevis。
Before the 19th century however the Highlands was home to a much larger population, but due to a combination of factors including the outlawing of the traditional Highland way of life following the Second Jacobite Rising, the infamous Highland Clearances, and mass migration to urban areas during the Industrial Revolution, the area is now one of the most sparsely populated in Europe. The average population density in the Highlands and Islands is lower than that of Sweden, Norway, Papua New Guinea and Argentina。
