Feel Safe & Be Safe
A Few Appetizers
London & The South East
All the sites of one of the world's great cities, plus Kent and Sussex, where all the major history of Britain unfolded. Canterbury, Hastings, Rye are a few of the famous places, but I will take you to places you have never heard of, but which are of great historical significance or general interest.
Stonehenge

The West Country
On our way west we can see Stonehenge, Salisbury, Bath and then onto the lovely counties of Devon and Cornwall - moors, lovely little fishing villages, gardens, a theatre on the cliffs, gorgeous scenery.
The Cotswolds & The Midlands
Honey stone villages and towns in rolling hills. Quiet streams, cream teas and peace are the hallmarks of the Cotswolds. A short ride away there is Warwick with it's mighty Castle and Stratford-upon-Avon, the birth place of Shakespeare. Come with me to Sulgrave Manor to see where the Stars and Stripes originated.
