Until this year everytime I was in England it was either on a short trip to London or just going through. But I had always dreamt of seeing places like Liverpool, York or Newcastle.
Now I finally had the chance to see more of this beautiful country. And .... VT mad it possible :)
I visited Steve and Susan Tilly who I met on VT ages ago and we travelled around the north of England. Along the way I met many other friendly VTers who showed me bits of their country, cooked for me, let me stay in their house. Thanks to everybody I met. I had a wonderful time!
The itinerary of my 12 days through England was like this:
DAY 1 - Cologne - Brussels - London - Darlington by train.
DAY 2 - York.
DAY 3 - Lake District: Ullswater, Keswick.
DAY 4 - Lake District: Grasmere, Rydal, Ambleside, Keswick.
DAY 5 - Liverpool, West Kirby.
DAY 6 - Chester.
DAY 7 - Middlesbrough, Darlington.
DAY 8 - Durham, Newcastle.
DAY 9 - Runswick Bay, Whitby.
DAY 10 - Oxford.
DAY 11 - London.
DAY 12 - London - Brussels - Home.
I will use this page for a general overview on England, see my location pages for more detailed information on the places I visited.
Enjoy!

Oh, jetzt moechte ich am liebsten sofort ab nach Nordengland fahren! Schoene Seite!
great summaries of the english areas outside of London! I was only in the Lake District for a night, wish I could have stayed longer!
Very interesting page. Enjoyed looking at all the photos especially like the sheep ones.
Really good England pages Sabine! Perhaps one day Manchester will be on your visiting list? You have been to some lovely and interesting places:-)
Hope there's more to come!! Great pics!
OH, so there IS more than just Burton Agnes Hall in England then? :-PP
A great page on England! There is so much to see and you have inspired me to get moving!
You are so right about the taps. Actually, it explains why so many people in UK just wash in cold water!
Of course I had to have a glass in front of me!!! You are as bad as me for shoes I see! Great page on your recent hols.
you can delete Steve's comment now ;)
