England
Traditionally, the southwest of England has been well known for producing Cheddar cheese, named after Cheddar in the Mendip Hills, for Devon cream teas, and for Somerset cider. It is now probably equally well known as the home of the Eden Project, Aardman Animations, the Glastonbury festival, trip hop music, Cornwall’s seafood restaurants and surfing beaches. Two national parks and four World Heritage Sites (only London and Scotland match it amongst the UK regions) fall within the region’s boundaries.
