Getting the best out of Visiting England



    This blog is for all those people who are thinking of visiting England and are looking for information to help them with their planning of where to visit.

    I spent four years living in Oxford and, apart from visits to Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy and France, searching out beautiful and quaint villages occupied the occasional weekend.

    All that is written is of experiences enjoyed while visiting each of the villages.  The blog will have routes taken using Oxford as the start point with hints as to how to gain the most from the experience. Public transport is only used to travel from Oxford to London, Hop-on Hop-off busses and Park and Ride where applicable.  Rail is not considered except in Wales where a steam train trip is written about.

     Most journeys are day trips although there are two extended stays which include accommodation.  Best times to visit are explained as are satisfactory snack/meal locations.

    Most of the locations will be from Warwick through to Lands End with a brief look at Dover and making the trip across to France and beyond using  the tunnel or Chunnel as it is affectionately called.

    I trust the information will be of use to those who are looking to visit the areas shown in this blog and are looking to do it on a budget.  There is no five star accommodation and certainly no, other than pub or cafe, dining experiences although this should not deter those who wish to indulge from experiencing the locations visited.
