While here you will want to visit Gawthorpe Hall where
Charlotte Bronte was a regular visitor. And, if you are a real
Bronte fan and enjoy novels like Jane Eyre and Wuthering
Heights, you will just love wandering around this area. You
can also see the village of Cowan Bridge (near Ingleton)
where the local school provided the inspiration for the Lowood
School in Jane Eyre and find Ann Bronte's grave at St.
Mary's Church in Scarborough. Visit this site for more
information. Haworth,
Bronte Country and the Brontes
Cambridge
Cambridge is an interesting town and one I really enjoy
walking. Be sure to spend at least a day in this wonderful
town. And, be sure not to miss a tour of King's
College while you are there.
Covent
Garden
Covent
Garden Life is a great web site where you can find all about
Covent Garden's restaurants, bars, shops and clubs, and much
more. The site will really help you to understand how Covent
Garden can make it the ideal location for a great day or night out.
Visit CoventGardenLife.com,

enjoyable hours in Covent Garden and I am sure you will also.
Maidstone, Kent
Leeds Castle has been called by many the "Loveliest Castle in
the World" and if may just be. You can either visit the castle
on your own or on a tour with Evan Evans (0208.332.2222), Frames
Richard (0207.837.3111), or Golden Tours (0207.233.7030). By rail,

Warwick
I love Warwick Castle and am sure you will also. It is
perfect for the entire family. Climbing around the ramparts, towers
and fortifications is great fun. The inside of the castle, the Great
Hall and the State Rooms are wonderful. And, the wax figures
depicting the Royal Weekend Party and the Kingmaker will be enjoyed
by all.
Warwick Castle
Woodstock
Blenheim Palace is a wonderful place to visit. This is the
birthplace of Winston Churchill. The palace is filled with wonderful
furniture, paintings, and much more and the grounds that surround
the place are outstanding. Be sure make time for a visit to Blenheim
Palace when you are in the Oxford area and stop in the village of
Woodstock for lunch. Blenheim Palace is a World Heritage Site.

Tourist Authority - The Great British Heritage Pass
The Yorkshire Dales
The Yorkshire Dales is filled with things to see and do in Northern
England and I have found this area a wonderful place to rent a

several movies and television programs including All Creatures
Great and Small. Check this site The
Yorkshire Dales for some interesting things to see and do in the
Yorkshire Dales.
