英国Cotswolds旅游攻略

A. 英国科兹大学全球排几名

看个人喜好，两个地方风格不同彭赞斯 (Penzance）的看点: 悬崖，大西洋，海岸线，版小渔村；科兹沃权尔德 地区 (Cotswolds) 就是乡间农舍，田园风光，薰衣草种植园（夏天可以看到） cotswolds 只是一个总称，如果不跟团的话，具体想游玩的村镇，路线，到达方式，需提前做好攻略。

B. 他们说的爱周游周边旅游是真的假的呢了解的能说下

可以说他来们是British。
我经常去Cotswolds周边徒步源以及沿着泰晤士河徒步。
.
楼上几位，洋洋洒洒给出了英国旅游的不少建议，但私以为，大部分比较类似「欧洲十
..
布莱顿不是沙滩，是石滩，但是一点也不耽误躺在那里晒太阳，我和GF是真的在
..
不得不提的是我最最了解的Cotswolds是典型的充满古色古香的英国最美的乡村。

C. 科茨沃尔德的介绍

科茨沃尔德位于莎士复比亚之乡制的南面，绵延的乡村风情与科茨沃尔德群山融合在一起。 本区历史十分悠久，在中古时期已经因羊毛相关的商业活动而发展，在此也曾出过不少名人。不过其虽然知名，却不是正式的行政区，亦不存在“郡”的称号。此地仅是地区名称，因此没有无确实边界范围。此地保有历代建筑，具有传统风格，并具有浓厚的英国小镇风味。在20世纪此地的英国风味也致使旅游业兴旺，许多旅客是来自于日本与香港等地.

D. 英国的cotswold在伦敦1区去怎么走

E. 英国大部分地区真如诸多英剧那样风景如画吗

我觉得是的吧 英国都是很古典的那些建筑什么的 我自己个人也是很想去看看的但是一直是没有什机会但是我爸去过 看他拍的照片都是很好看的

F. 英国村庄小镇克茨沃尔特 (The Cotswolds) 是属于哪个城市的

英国→英格兰→东南英格兰→格洛斯特郡(非都市郡)→科茨沃尔德(非都市区)

G. 英国旅游英文的介绍啊！！哪位达人帮帮我，小的银子奉上！！

This has always been a most remarkable country. From its ancient beginnings with the Celtic tribes about 3,000 years ago through the colonization by the Romans in 42 AD to the present, Britain has enjoyed one of the world's most interesting and colorful histories. The variety of life throughout England, Scotland and Wales as well as Northern Ireland makes for new and memorable experiences in each and every visit.

Capital: London
Population: 59,000,000

Area: 94, 500 square miles

Language: English

Time: +5 Hours from New York

Electricity: 220 volts/ 50 Hz (many hotels have 110 plugs for American shavers)

Geography: The country is surrounded by water except along the Northern Ireland / Republic of Ireland border. The country is as varied as its weather which is e largely to its geography. Scotland is mostly mountainous in the northern areas and mostly a plains area in the south. Northern England is quite hilly and flat for the rest of the area. Wales is almost entirely mountainous except for the coastline.

International Airports
London - Heathrow (LHR) The airport is about 16 miles from London's West end. It takes about 45 minutes by cab or the Underground. A new train from Paddington station takes only 15 minutes and also operates every 20 minutes and connect to Terminals 3 and 4. Busses and taxis are plentiful. There is bus service from Heathrow to most major centers of the country including rail connecting points.

London - Gatwick Airport (LGW) -The airport is about 25 miles from central London and is connected primarily by a train which takes about 35 minutes. The train operates every 20 minutes ring the day. Bus service is very slow and not advised. Taxis are also slow and expensive from this far out from London. Passengers alighting from the Gatwick Train at the end of their journey at Victoria Station have many taxis waiting for them and also the complete transport system of London.

Birmingham - Birmingham International (BHX) - This is an extremely well laid out airport next to the Birmingham Exposition Centre. Train service from downtown is frequent and some bus service exists. Taxis are plentiful. Train service is available to all parts of the UK from the airport. Travel time by train is about 12 minutes.

Manchester - Manchester International Airport (MAN - The airport is about 15 miles from the city and is most easily accessible by train which operates about every 20 minutes ring the day. Bus and taxi service is available.

Glasgow - Glasgow Airport (GLA) - The airport is about 12 miles from the city. Bus and taxi service is available.

Edinburgh - Edinburgh Airport (EDI) - The airport is located about 8 miles from the city center. Taxi and bus service available.

Tipping: A service charge is usually added to the bill which amounts to 10% in restaurants. If you do not see this on the bill, leave a tip. Otherwise just leave small change.
Shopping: Shops and stores are open 9 am to 5:30 pm daily except Sundays. This is a country of antiques and they are everywhere. Woolens and linens are quite good as well as the Wedgwood, Royal Doulton china and porcelain. Clothing is also very good with the abundance of Harris Tweeds and various cottons and silks.

Food and Drink: Britain is the crossroads of the Commonwealth and so every imaginable cuisine is available here - especially in London. Puddings in England and Wales and various Scottish specialties in the north are very interesting. Pubs are a focal point of communities and are a source of excellent and inexpensive food. Beverages here are not limited to those enriched with alcohol but all sorts of family oriented beverages.

Social: The British are not stuffy, only historical portrayals of them. Most are very down to earth and extremely engaging and willing to help the traveler along the way. If anything, they will want to discover more of the 'colonies' in conversations with you. You will also discover that the English, Scots and Welsh as well as the Northern Irish are very different people as may be found in different parts of North America.

Business: Business culture has changed sharply. Position is no longer engrained into society but a new term called "meritocracy" which has revolutionized the social, political and economic morays of Britain. This is reflected tremendously in business affairs. Three piece suits, umbrellas and bowler hats have disappeared and have been replaced with smartly dressed figures who are bright, energetic and quite knowledgeable in their fields. Business appointments and business cards are essential.

Banking: Banks are usually open from 9:30 am to 4 pm weekdays. A few branches are open on Saturdays.
Currency: The British Pound

Money Exchange: This is fairly easy to do anywhere, but be mindful that travelers checks are not readily accepted unless they are in UK pounds. Best place to exchange currency is at the banks. Be extremely careful about changing currency at small kiosks. You may get a very good exchange rate only to be socked by a very high commission or service charge or no commission and a very poor rate or worst of all poor rates and high commission. Banks are the best.

Credit cards: Visa, Master Card, American Express and Diners Club are well known.

The country has a varied climate ranging from subtropical in the southwest to cold and rainy in the northwest of Scotland. The country has its share of rain which can fall at any time. Scotland's northwest is the wettest area of the country. The southeast is quite sunny and tends to have the overall greatest amount of sun. The southwest is the mildest.

Destination: England

In England's North Country you’ll find the scenic splendour of lakes and mountains, castles, dramatic coastlines and glorious National Parks, combined with the medieval city of York, lively Blackpool and Manchester, world renowned for its football.

Travel south and you'll see a gentler landscape; quiet country lanes and inland waterways, the shimmering fenlands of the east coast and Stratford, Shakespeare’s birthplace and the university city of Cambridge.

Continue south of London and the area boasts glorious gardens, oast houses and stately homes whilst, the southern coast has an enviable reputation for its beaches and resorts, historic market towns, and the charming cathedral cities of Winchester and Salisbury, close to Stonehenge.

To the South West of London, the West Country offers great surfing off the craggy Cornwall coast, picturesque thatched cottage villages in the Cotswolds, cider from Somerset and delicious Devon cream teas.

Destination: The East of England

There are so many places to go and things to see in the East of England you'll find it hard to fit it all in! Each of the region's counties has its very own unique character and all of them have a wealth of places to explore and treasures to discover. Step into the East of England and you step into a subtly different world. Senses are somehow heightened beneath the great wide skies that arch above the area e to its flat landscape.

It's England as you like it - the perfect mix of soft and gentle countryside, ancient cities, stately homes and gardens, charming towns, storybook villages, bird-reserved beaches and old-fashioned seaside fun. And all with that special additive - so very unique to the East of England - a very quirky indiviality. In Stilton, Cambridgeshire, they roll cheeses down the street. At Grimston, Norfolk, they race snails on the cricket pitch for prizes. And at Great Dunmow, Essex, they have a mock trial, complete with a bewigged judge, to find a couple who 'haven't had a brawl for the last 12 months and a day'. Delightfully different!

There are ghosts galore throughout the region. At Blickling Hall, Norfolk, it's not just the horseman that is headless - but the horses, too, along with poor Ann Boleyn who sits with her head on her lap. On the Norfolk Broads there's a phantom skater and a ghost wherry. And at Dunwich, Suffolk, now lost beneath the waves, you can listen for the church bells of a huge and prosperous town.

Follies are a favourite in the eccentric East. You'll find all shapes and sizes from the giant rotunda of 18th century Ickworth House to the House in the Clouds on the Suffolk Coast - a former water tower converted into a unique holiday home. And then there are those other oddities - like the huge Tudor Dovecote at Willington in Bedfordshire, where there are also remains of a Viking harbour down by the river. And to get really confused - try and puzzle out the ancient earth maze at Saffron Walden, Essex. Or how they built the Mathematical Bridge in Cambridge without any nails.

Destination: Heart of England

Like the rest of England, the Heart of England is charmingly indivial, but the bonus is that the Heart of England is at the hub of Britain’s road network, so exploring every last bit of it is made very easy! You don’t have to fly into London because there is the international airport at Birmingham right in the centre of the region. Birmingham is also now able to offer a world-class cultural scene, superb shopping, top attractions, fantastic nightlife, major international events and exhibitions

Take some time to visit the Cotswolds, taking in the many honey-coloured villages. The potteries of Staffordshire to the north of the region are juxtaposed with Shakespeare’s Stratford-on-Avon and the nearby lesser-known parts of Warwickshire. Close by lies the Black Country, and a visit here will reveal a rich seam of art, crafts, tradition and culture with modern architectural design sitting alongside villages from the Victorian era.

Explore the counties of Herefordshire and Shropshire along the beautiful borderlands of England and Wales, sampling the myriad of excellent restaurants and locally proced food. Don’t forget to discover the real taste of the countryside in Herefordshire’s famous cider.

In Worcestershire you can find fine churches, historic buildings and a thriving arts scene with internationally acclaimed festivals and events.

Choose from rural tranquillity, city sightseeing and invigorating coastlines for a break with great variety.

There are dozens of gardens to visit in the South East, which brim with unforgettable pleasures, from the world famous Sissinghurst in Kent and romantic Nymans in West Sussex, or Cliveden overlooking the River Thames near Maidenhead to the Savill Garden in Windsor Great Park or exotic Leonardslee, near Horsham.

History has left a trail of magnificent buildings from all eras, Fishbourne Roman Palace near to arts and culture city Chichester, 12th-century Canterbury Cathedral and spectacular castles such as Leeds Castle in Kent or Windsor Castle, the Official Residence of Her Majesty The Queen.

This part of England is ideal for gentle walking, that special ingredient of a country visit that sends you home relaxed and invigorated. Head for the Oxfordshire Cotswolds famed for its golden charm, or walk high up on the North and South Downs or the Surrey Hills.

You are never far from the coast and its associated maritime heritage. The Historic Dockyard at Chatham near Rochester covers 400 years of maritime history while Portsmouth is the site of Henry VIII's ship the Mary Rose, Admiral Lord Nelson's HMS Victory and HMS Warrior.

So close to London, this region of history and heritage, coast and countryside awaits your discovery!

Attractions like the Lighthouse, the Burrell Collection and Gallery of Modern Art reflect the Glaswegian passion for art. And when daylight fades, there’s the pleasure of a good malt whisky - 300 whiskies are distilled in Scotland. Follow the world’s only ‘malt whisky trail’ and sample a dram or two in Speyside or visit Islay for a ‘peaty’ malt such as Laphroaig or Lagavulin.

Scotland’s closer than you think - just over four hours by train from London to Edinburgh and with frequent fast flights to its major cities. The country has nearly 800 islands (130 inhabited), most accessible by ferry. Popular excursions include Iona, with its ancient monastery, and Skye, romantic refuge for Bonnie Prince Charlie.

Are you interested in researching your Scottish ancestors? There is nothing compared to experiencing first hand the places they lived and worked. Come walk in the footsteps of your ancestors and the first step in your ancestral journey to Scotland.

Scotland boasts over 540 golf courses to choose from including world famous championship golf courses such as The Old Course St Andrews, Royal Troon, Carnoustie, Muirfield, Turnberry and Gleneagles. Considering the quality and range of golf courses with accommodation to suit every golfer's needs, your first choice for a golf vacation has to be Scotland.

H. 看过纳尼亚传奇的请进

威廉姆·彼得·莫塞（彼得 ）
利出生于1987年4月27日，英国的Cotswolds 地区的Sheepscombe。那里离伦敦有向西一个半小时的车程，是有古典气息的英国乡村地区。他从10岁起就想要当演员。威廉姆是家里三兄妹中最年长的，他的妹妹Daisy16岁，弟弟Ben13岁。
爸爸Peter是英国电影摄影师，妈妈是Julie Moseley。威廉姆在Sheepscombe上小学。威廉姆很喜欢茶。他的家人评价他有一点爱指使人，但是有着优秀的领导才能。他不想被人们仅仅以Peter Pevensie记住他，而是希望被认为是一个有天分的优秀演员。他认为自己是一个有主见并乐意与他人分享自己想法和观点的人。
威廉姆·莫塞利非常幸运地从上千人中被选拔出来，饰演C.S.路易斯的代表作《纳尼亚传奇》中的Peter Pavensie。在一次访问中他讲到他如何在试演Peter Pevensie长达18个月后，终于得到了这个角色并且欣喜万分，因为都到这个份儿上了却得不到角色的话他会非常沮丧。他的角色对剑术的要求非常高，他忍受了许多体能方面的挑战，演绎出一个强势的角色。之后他继续出演了该片续集《纳尼亚传奇2：凯斯宾王子》。

安娜·帕波维尔 （苏珊 ）
目前居住在英国伦敦，母亲Deborah是位免疫学者， 父亲Andrew是律师。安娜6岁起就开始在Allsorts Drama学校学习戏剧课程，Allsorts允许孩子们在学业之余在大银幕和电视上演出，她1998年10岁时开始在电视上演出一些角色，之后出演的影视包括《小小僵尸》、《最爱她》、《戴珍珠耳环的少女》等。2005年安娜被挑中饰演《纳尼亚传奇》中的大女儿苏珊，这个幸运的机会令无数人羡慕不已，也使安娜成为了许多青少年的偶像。

斯堪德·凯恩斯（爱德蒙）
有着黎巴嫩血统，他母亲的父辈中有非常著名的黎巴嫩作家和中东问题学者，一般夏天斯堪德都会前往黎巴嫩的贝鲁特度假；尽管家人给他在每个周末安排阿拉伯语课程，但斯堪德未能很好地掌握。斯堪德的父辈系家族则更加显赫。提出进化论学说的英国自然学家达尔文是他的曾曾曾祖父，家族沾亲带故的其他名人还包括经济学家约翰凯恩斯（John Maynard Keynes）、历史学家西蒙凯文斯（Simon Keynes）、诺贝尔得奖生物学家阿德里安（Edgar Adrian）以及哲学家大卫休谟（David Hume）等等。
在成为“纳尼亚”的埃德蒙之前斯堪德·凯恩斯曾为《魔法保姆麦克菲》试镜，但那个角色最终给了托马斯·桑斯特。拍摄第一部《狮子，女巫和魔衣橱》期间他正经历变声，因而一些台词后来是由姐姐为他配音的，宣传期间他还带着傻傻的牙套，可是到了第二部《凯斯宾王子》，人们看到了斯堪德“美少年”的脱变。片中的“苏珊”安娜·帕波维尔与他住的很近，除了交流拍摄外，两人都是英超豪门阿森纳俱乐部的支持者。斯堪德·凯恩斯还同“哈利波特”丹尼尔·雷德克里夫读过同一所学校。

乔基·亨莉（露西）
2005年年仅10岁的乔基·亨莉出演了她的第一部影片(此为影片上映时间，影片拍摄时她还不到10岁)，而这部影片和很多其他人所出演的第一部影片不同，这部影片是根据著名作家C.S.刘易斯所著的享誉世界的科幻巨作《纳尼亚王国》改编而成的《纳尼亚传奇》。乔基·亨莉饰演四位小主角中最小的露西。
在影片拍摄结束时，导演安德鲁·亚当森送给了每个参与演出的小朋友一个ipod，由于年龄较小，乔基·亨莉甚至还不知道这个是什么，经过询问妈妈才得到答案。就是这样一个可爱天真的小姑娘，在《纳尼亚传奇》中为观众献上了出色的表演，她的演技超出了她的年龄水平，扮演的“露西”显得非常灵气可爱。
次年，芝加哥影评人协会(Chicago Film Critics)因为其在《纳尼亚传奇》中表现良好，而将她提名为当年的“最有前途新人奖”。
在这部影片中，乔基的姐姐瑞切尔·亨莉(Rachael Henley)也扮演了一个角色——成年露西。相信她们的父母Helen和Mike Henley应该为她们的出色而感到骄傲。
乔基还将在《纳尼亚传奇》系列的其他影片中继续出演，《纳尼亚传奇2：凯斯宾王子》 已于08年上映，第三部《纳尼亚传奇3：黎明踏浪号》预计将于2010年与观众见面，对于这个小女孩儿，我们值得继续期待。

I. 关于英国旅游的英语资料

英国大笨钟
Big Ben is the name of the bell inside St Stephen's clock tower attached to the Houses of Parliament and is one of the best-known landmarks of London.

The Big Ben is a thirteen ton bell hung into the clock tower that strikes the hours and was named after the first commissioner of works, Sir Benjamin Hall.

The bell was brought from the old Palace of Westminster and given to the Dean of St. Paul's by William III. Before the bell was placed in the tower, it was mounted in the New Palace Yard but the bell cracked under the striking hammer, and its metal was recast at the Whitechapel Bell Foundry in 1858. After the refashioned was carried to the tower that now homes it.

During the second world war in 1941, an incendiary bomb destroyed the Commons chamber of the Houses of Parliament, but the clock tower continued being intact and Big Ben continued to keep time and strike away the hours and became a symbol of hope.

Every year The BBC broadcast the New Year Eve chimes of the bells since 1924 to thousands of listeners.

The best time to see Big Ben may be at night, when the clock faces are illuminated, as is the facade of the Palace of Westminster facing the Thames. The effect from Westminster Bridge or the far bank of the Thames can be breathtaking.

伦敦 London
London has been called a ‘world in one city’ and that’s not just empty rhetoric. The brilliant feat carried off here is that while immigrants, the city’s life blood, continue to flow in and contribute their energy and cultures to the capital’s already spicy melting pot, London nevertheless feels quintessentially British, whether it’s those boxy black cabs, the red double deckers or those grand symbols of Britain – the mother of all parliaments at Westminster, the silhouette of Tower bridge above the muddy Thames or the already world-famous London Eye, barely a decade old.

Don’t miss these essential sights of course, but equally ensure you partake in what really makes London great: a pint and a plate of fish n’ chips by the river, a day in the park or a night out in Soho or Shoreditch. Take a deep breath and prepare to fall in love with the British capital..

坎布里亚湖区Lake District
For sheer scenic splendour, few places in England can measure up to the outlandishly beautiful Lake District, where Wordsworth, Coleridge and their Romantic compatriots famously sought their poetic muse in the 19th century. The landscape of the Lakes is as breathtaking as any you’ll find in Switzerland or the French Alps – a sweeping panorama of humpbacked mountains, razorblade crags and scree-covered hillsides, strewn with mountainous tarns and some of the largest natural lakes anywhere in England.
With such a wealth of natural riches, it’s hardly surprising that the Lake District is one of the country’s favourite places for savouring the great outdoors, but there’s much more to this region than fine views – it’s also packed with history and culture, from the abandoned slate mines around Honister and the ruined abbey of Furness to the literary landmarks of Dove Cottage and Rydal Mount, both former homes of one William Wordsworth.

Bath巴斯
Ask any visitor for their ideal image of an English city, and chances are they’ll come up with something pretty close to Bath – an architectural icon, cultural trendsetter and fashionable haunt for the cream of British society for the last 300 years. With its grand Georgian terraces, Palladian parades and lofty townhouses of honey-coloured stone, it’s certainly one of Britain’s most attractive cities, and still exudes an air of gentility and chi-chi sophistication – in fact, Bath boasts more listed buildings than almost anywhere else in the country, and houses here change hands for truly eye-popping sums. The whole city has been named a World Heritage Site by Unesco, and it’s blessed with a wealth of architectural wonders, including the glorious Royal Cres and one of the world’s finest Roman spas. But it’s not without its problems: the hills are knackering, the bars are snooty, the hotels are expensive, and the rush hour traffic will have you weeping into your steering wheel, but despite all the niggles, it’s impossible not to fall in love with this finely wrought jewel in England’s crown.

The Cotswolds 科茨沃尔德丘陵
Undeniably beautiful, quintessentially English and beloved by tourists and locals alike, the lush rolling hills and picture-postcard villages of the Cotswolds are one of the country’s most popular spots. With glorious honey-coloured villages riddled with beautiful old mansions, thatched cottages, atmospheric churches and rickety almshouses, the region just oozes old-world English charm.
A boom in the medieval wool trade brought the area its wealth and left it with such a glut of beautiful buildings that its place in history is secured for ever more. If you’ve ever craved exposed beams, dreamed of falling asleep under English rose wallpaper or lusted after a cream tea in mid-afternoon, there’s no finer place to fulfil your fantasies. Just be aware that you won’t be alone – the Cotswolds can be besieged by tourists and traffic in summer.
Plan to visit the main centres early in the morning or late in the evening, focus your attention on the south or take to the hills on foot or by bike to avoid the worst of the crowds.
不知道是不是要这些。

J. 关于英国地理方面的英文资料，最好配上翻译，马上就要~~~~谢谢了

England comprises the central and southern two-thirds of the island of Great Britain, in addition to a number of small islands of which the largest is the Isle of Wight. England is bordered to the north by Scotland and to the west by Wales. It is closer to continental Europe than any other part of mainland Britain, divided from France only by a 24-statute mile (52 km or 28.1 nmi)[1] sea gap. The Channel Tunnel, near Folkestone, directly links England to mainland Europe. The English/French border is halfway along the tunnel.[2]

Much of England consists of rolling hills, but it is generally more mountainous in the north with a chain of mountains, the Pennines, dividing east and west. Other hilly areas in the north and Midlands are the Lake District, the North York Moors, and the Peak District. The approximate dividing line between terrain types is often indicated by the Tees-Exe line. To the south of that line, there are larger areas of flatter land, including East Anglia and the Fens, although hilly areas include the Cotswolds, the Chilterns, and the North and South Downs.

The largest natural harbour in England is at Poole, on the south-central coast. Some regard it as the second largest harbour in the world, after Sydney, Australia, although this fact is disputed (see harbours for a list of other large natural harbours).
