Each year more and more people in Britain travel round their own country and abroad; more and more of them visit such European countries as France, Spain, Italy, Germany and even Russia. Today they can travel by various means of transport - by plane, by ship, by train, by car or even by bicycle.

Of course, the fastest way of travelling is by air and in Britain there are many big airports. The biggest airport in Britain is Heathrow; Heathrow is an international airport which connects London with many countries of the world. For example, from Heathrow to Paris you can get in one hour by plane.

But some people prefer to travel to Paris in an old-fashioned manner - by train. Thanks to the railway tunnel under the English Channel it takes only 4 hours to get from London to Paris now.

Many Englishmen prefer to travel by car, often with tents and caravans or take part in group travel by bus. If they like to travel abroad, they board a ferry­boat with their cars and buses and it carries them to one of the ports in Holland or Belgium; from there by highways they travel through France, Germany and other European countries.

But there are still people in England who like to travel by water; in summer some English people prefer to spend their holidays by taking a cruise around the Baltic or down the Mediterranean. But even more people prefer to so end week-ands and holidays travelling along rivers and canals. In Britain there are many canals which connect the main rivers of this country; most of the canals were built in the 18lil century and played a great role in the country's economy. Although today sailing a yacht round the coasts is very popular among young Englishmen, many people prefer the canals because even in bad weather they can easily move along them.
