I have to disagree with Vince about the moorland in Cornwall ...Dartmoor is much more spectacular, and the coastline is equally good! :) James, I totally agree with you about the pasties. I wouldn't dream of buying one (not even in Devon) Ha! Ha! My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

Welcome Carol to POE and for my tenpennyworth I shall nominate Cornwall for a visit, there is so much history there and sights of coastline (one of the longest in UK), superb moorland and so much to eat and drink. You will have a problem getting to see it all in the time you have. One of our forum members is there now so watch out for his report later in the week. Speaking of the forums you can join in and meet the POE family have fun, learn allsorts but most of all on POE see the stunning collection of pictures. Once again Carol- Welcome. Ah! Says the Surrey Pasty! lol My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

My favourites would be Kent, The New Forest in Hampshire, and The Malvern Hills in Worcestershire (I like Herefordshire too!) Then of course there is the gorgeous Cotswolds!! You can see that you can just about visit anywhere in England and find something gorgeous or scenic or spectacular or historical. So you can't go wrong with whatever you choose. At least I don't think so. Just beware of Lancashire - there are some strange people live there ..... isn't that so James? LOL! My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

Minehead to Illfracombe is lovely, you'll pass Dunster castle ...well worth a visit!, Lynton Lynmouth, Porlock, it really is nice! the road touches on the north of Exmoor too so you have views both ways! From Burnham your not far from Cheddar gorge, great place to visit too!! Thats if your definately staying at burnham ...but like the others have said, theres loads of beautiful places to visit!! the lakes, North Yorkshire, Peak district, Cotswolds ...i could go on and on.

Deeann Harkness Posts: 3 Joined: 30th Dec 2011 Location: USA	quotePosted at 15:18 on 30th December 2011 My name is Deeann Harkness and I am looking for a place to visit in England. I am from the USA and live in FLorida. I lived in Upper Heyford, England at the AFB a long time ago with my husband for 3 years. I loved England and I have always wanted to go back. I was thinking about visiting Surrey, England. I heard it was very beautiful there. Everything about England I love. The people were so nice when we were there so long ago.My husband has passed away, but I still want to visit. I think Upper Heyford has closed down and it is no longer an AFB. Those were the good ole days living there. Here in FLorida, I watch House Hunters International just so I can see what they have to offer in houses and cottages in England. I know one thing it is really expensive to buy a house there. I guess a person really needs to rent a place. I just want to visit and tour some of England. I hope I hear from someone, so I could hear all about Surrey or any other place that would be good to visit. By the way I loved going to the pubs when we were there.
