Bamburgh Castle sits above a beach on the Northumberland CoastEngland was pipped to top-spot in by Bhutan.
Quaint villages Quaint villages like Robin Hood's Bay on the North Yorkshire coast can be found across EnglandThe quaint country village, with its cobbled streets and stone, thatched houses astride serene streams and babbling brooks, is a staple of England .
Picture-postcard scenes can be found in many an English villageHaving so many picture-perfect places is one of the reasons England is worth a visit, according to Lonely Planet .
The Top 10 countries in The List were:
Stunning Seaside England has almost 3,000 miles of coastline"Once the country's first line of defence against invaders, the English coastline these days is a peaceful place where locals and visitors can enjoy more tranquil pursuits," Lonely Planet judges said.
The Seaside as seen at Saltburn in North Yorkshire"Taking a bracing walk on a windswept pier, eating delicious fish and chips, searching for marine life in rock pools, finding fossils in ancient cliffs, building sandcastles and dolphin-spotting on picturesque Beaches are just some of the activities offered by the English Seaside . "
Beaches like The One in Brighton are popular with English holiday makersLonely Planet said the addition of new stretches of The Almost 3,000 mile-long England Coast Path in 2020 would allow visitors to "explore Beaches and foreshores right up to the water's edge".
