England is renowned for its iconic landmarks, as well as historic castles, world-leading museums, diverse festivals and top-notch sport. England became a unified state during the tenth century and takes its name from the angles, one of a number of germanic tribes who settled in the territory during the fifth and sixth centuries. From medieval cathedrals to postmodern towers, from prehistoric stones to one-pub villages, england is a spectacular tribute to the strength—and flexibility—of tradition.
