Stratford-Upon-Avon

We spent the day walking in the footsteps of William Shakespeare.

Bourton-on-the-Water and The Slaughters

Margaret and I visited three more Cotswolds villages as we made our slow journey north.

Possibly the most photographed location in all of England is in the village of Bibury, in the heart of the Cotswolds.

This site of a natural hot spings has been revered, celebrated, and visited by tourists for thousands of years.

The architecture in Bath was heavily influenced by the Romans from 43-410 CE and by the Victorians in the 18th Century.

With its central grid of four streets, Lacock today looks much as it did 200 years ago.

Our stop in Avebury included more of England’s “biggest,” “oldest,” and “only” sites for tourists to visit.

We left our friends and New Forest, and were soon at the most famous ancient site in the UK.

Beaulieu Motor Museum tickets also admitted us to the gardens, the Palace House, the Abbey, the Domus, and the BBC World Gardeners’ Spring Fair.

We spent the day exploring New Forest, in two important locations.
