DO NOT forget your camera if you visit here. good luck in locating film of coast to coast, but there are many books and films about this beautiful area. (Watch out for Ron though! lol we havnt seen a Yeti yet!) |

Okay Ron, I'll send you the secret location of the priest-hole via registered Jesuit courier (delivered, of course, in the dead of night) only on the condition that you buy me a pint next time I'm passing through Oxford--the Royal Blenheim works for me, or any pub of your choice as long as it serves real ale! |

It runs from 27 dollars to 33 dollars, but is well worth it as you can't seem to find it anywhere else. Good luck. Judy |

I must add a comment here. I am not Australian, I am an American who truly believes i was born in the wrong place. I do love the US, don't get me wrong. But I have had such a strong pull to the UK since i was a little girl, it's a bit otherworldly. My favorite place is the same as yours ... Yorkshire, and York in particular. Many years ago, my pen pal had mapped out a long holiday for us. But when we got to York and the Minster - not to mention Haworth's moors - i said, "This is where we stop." It just took my breath away. Of course, London for it's excitement, the Lakes and Dales for their natural beauty, and the Cotswolds for it's heartwarming architecture are not bad either!

I think even God took pity on me and the first country I got a chance to visit outside India was England! As it was not strictly a holiday (my husband was attending a training prog. in London) we did not get to see much outside London.We took a few day trips outside London during the weekends.I loved London and also liked Oxford,Bath,Stratford-upon-Avon although I would like to see these places a little more in detail some day.Scotland was also hauntingly beautiful.After seeing pictures of the Lake District and Yorkshire on POE I would like to visit these places too. |
