Sussex, Devon or Cornwall, N. Yorkshire and Northumberland? I would greatly appreciate any info and yes I plan to book through this site. |

Often, this is a bit cheaper way to go than B&Bs since cottages have full kitchen facilities and allow you to eat in as opposed to spending a small fortune eating at pubs or restaurants all the time. |

Angie said to thank you for the recommendation and to say hello. I will check out cottages in Yorkshire and Cornwall. I have the south and north covered but don't really have a place in the middle. If you had to pic your favorite spot between Whiltshire and York what would it be? Thanks again, Ellie |

In regard to favorite places between Wiltshire and Cornwall, are you looking for just one stop or several? I would certainly recommend spending some time in Derbyshire and the Peak District. From there, you could cross over east to Lincoln, which is a very cool place to visit with a spectacular cathedral. You could also visit Lincoln Castle very near to the cathedral to see one of the original copies of Magna Carta. From Lincoln, you could make it to York in about 2 1/2 hours. I like staying north of York near the North Yorkshire Moors National Park--Helmsley is a very nice town with a spectacular ruined castle and near to the very atmospheric ruins of Rievaulx Abbey.

 Picture by Nand de Rijk Rievaulx Abbey--a beautiful place! Helmsley is also close to Goathland and the nearby stretch of original Roman road on Wheeldale Moor--definitely worth a bit of a hike to visit (very atmospheric as well!).
