If anyone has any further information on Attractions, towns, villages and what to see/where to go, stories or pictures please feel free to add them at any time to any of the tours. The more information contained in any of the county tours will help others to plan their visits. |

The tours are much more interesting when members add their own pics of places they have visited and enjoyed and tell us about what they saw and did. So please members tell me if we should continue with the rest of the English Counties and if you will participate where-ever you can. Even if it is to add other members pictures of the counties/towns/villages or attractions that are your favourites. |
