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.
