It’s
well known that many sports were originated in the United
Kingdom: soccer, cricket, rugby, golf, tennis, among
others, are sports as much practised as followed. Between
these last ones, soccer appears at the top of the list.
The Premier League runs between August and May, and
although it is possible to obtain tickets, the ones
for those teams like Arsenal, Liverpool or Manchester
United are sold out with months of advance.
The main championships of cricket and tennis are played
in England, while rugby is particularly popular in Wales.
For those who want to play golf, they will be glad to
know that there are courts in almost every corner of
England. A detailed guide of the best ones can be obtained
through the England Direction of Tourism. Trekking,
hiking, speleology and cycling are also sports for which
it is possible to obtain facilities in the island.
Although the land in England is in its majority private
property (even in the national parks), those who visit
them can find footpaths properly marked.
