Palaces and Castles...

My first trip to England was May, 2003 - and it won't be the last. This land of palaces, abbeys, farmland, and gardens is enchanting to visit!
My trip included London, Windsor, Warwick, the Cotswolds, Stonehenge, Bath, Glastonbury, and Wells before we moved on to explore parts of Wales. My only problem was a lack of time to see everything I wanted to see in my limited time...but that just allows me the opportunity to return and see more!

Cottages and Kings...

While London is a not-to-be-missed destination, the countryside is spectacular...the only problem being trying to decide where to go! I will always head for gardens...its in my blood! And theCotswolds have some lovely ones. This thatched building is beside the entrance to Hidcote gardens. Its even more lovely in person!

from Abbeys to Abbey Road

I hope you can enjoy my photos and my thoughts on this visit to the British Empire....
this is a work in progress, a sharing of a trip I'll always cherish

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:ancient wonders, modern society

    You avoid the £9 charge for entry so you didn't miss out. You can see as much from the road as they do not let you near the stones.

    great page - Silbury Hill looks like Maes Howe on orkney. That is an ancient burial tomb but there have not been any bones found at Silbury.

    Wow, tea at the Ritz looks spectacular. I had tea at Brown's, which was also lovely, but the Ritz has more glam. :)
