I have not heard of this town before, what is it near and how far from London? We were thinking of going to Wales would Cornwell be a better place to visit than Wales? We love open country side and beautiful lanscape. Thanks for your help, Debbie |

Here is the POE (Pictures of England) page for Cornwall http://www.picturesofengland.com/England/Cornwall It's all very beautiful over there Debbie, you'll not go wrong with Cornwall or Wales. |

Sue H Posts: 8172 Joined: 29th Jun 2007 Location: USA | Posted at 02:57 on 9th March 2009 We do have some pictures of Wales on the site, but I'm not sure if there is a separate link to them yet, as initially this was a site for pictures of England. I have a few pictures of Wales that I took, and I know that a few others have welsh pictures up too, but I don't know how to direct you to them. |

Try the search box at the top left of the page and if there are any pictures available it will find them for example 'Pembrokeshire' in Wales, 'Highland' in Scotland, 'County Cork' in Ireland. Hope it helps a little. |

Ron and Sue are right. if you look at a map/picture of Great Britain (looks like a man sat down with his legs outstrectched lol) you will see that the County of Cornwall is in the bottom South west, (the mans feet and legs below his knees).Wales is a small CountRy bordering the west of England (No visable border) a lot larger than cornwall. (Where the mans hands appear to be lol ) Both these places are worth a stay but quite a distance from London. My tip is only go to London if you want to visit London. England (as in Wales, Scotland and Ireland) is abound with beuatiful countryside and each county is a joy to visit. my advice is do your homework well before you come, you'll probly come back again anyway. if you want warm and pleasant sun, the best time is april to september, although the sun does shine troughout the four seasons. But be prepared for rain also, thats what makes us a beuatiful green island. As I live in Northan England, theres so much beauty up here, that we dont really have to go to the south but some do. Anyway I'm sure you'll enjoy your visit, whichever you choose. |

My suggestion if you want to look at scenes in Wales on the site is to type in the counties in Wales in the search option. The ones I found are Pembrokeshire, Ceredigion, Gwynedd, Monmouthshire, Conwy and Powys. |

Can anyone tell me how long it would take to drive from London to Pembrokeshire? In the brochure it tells me from London to Cardiff takes 2 hrs 53 mints but it does not tell me about other areas. |
