What kinds of biting insects does England have?

I'm a walker.  When I lived in Vermont, certain biting insects--black flies, mosquitoes, and such--would eat me alive when I went to the woods and trails there.  They were worst in Springtime and early Summer.  Now that I'm in the finger lakes in NY state, the bugs are much nicer--I can walk in short sleeves and not go mad!  The only things that bother me, and only for a brief time in high summer, are deer flies and horse flies, buzzing around my head and alighting to bite, forcing me to wear a hat.  Do England's trails in rural areas and wild country have similar biting insects that might discourage people at certain times of the year?

Some of England's biting insects (and/or those that sting) include the horse fly, flea (more than a thousand species), bed bug's in the home, wasp's, hornet's, ticks, mosquitoes, bee's occasionally and red ants in the garden. There are more...

Not to mention midges--culicoides, the biting type! These little critters (we call them "no-see-ums") have traditionally been a problem in Scotland, but over the past few years, due to climate alterations, these vicious little pests have been increasing in England and will be more of a problem. And their bite is extremely painful--having been caught more than once in swarms of them in the Highlands, I can readily attest to that!
