Castles, Countryside and Cottages are all covered in this review of
magnificent England. Rudy Maxa, the Savvy Traveler, answers London’s
call with this expert tour of its traditional sights and contemporary and
cutting edge attractions. Galleries, museums, restaurants and the best of London’s
sights get close attention.
In London’s
breathtaking countryside, Rudy points out mythic castles and palaces, like
Henry VIII’s Hampton Court; then he visits the ultimate college town,
Oxford. Browse in the real Alice in Wonderland’s candy store, visit
Jane Austin’s house, and gaze upon the mysterious megaliths of Stonehenge.
In Bath and
Wales, experience Georgian loveliness in Bath, where its history stretches back
to ancient Rome. King Arthur comes alive in the legends of Camelot
in Glastonbury. Visit castles and county fairs in Wales and the Wye River
Valley. Stops include a trip on a vintage train through Brecon Beacons
National Park.
Tour the
royal castle, abbeys, and stately homes outside of London. Visit Blenheim Palace, birthplace of Sir
Winston Churchill; Woburn Abbey, home of the famous afternoon tea; and Harwood
House, home of Princess Mary.
Then tour medieval Warwick Castle, the baroque
grandeur of Castle Howard, and Beaulieu, that dates back to William the
Conqueror. Finally, delightful Chatsworth, the grandest country house in
England, and Broadlands where Royalty spend their honeymoons.
