Hi everyone, I'm new to this site, but really want to do some exploring so wanted some information about England.

I come from Woodley which is in Berkshire near Reading. My favourite ever place is Germany, but in England it is probably my hometown - does anyone else find that home is always where the heart is? Any suggestions about somewhere to visit at Christmas?

Hello Laura, welcome to the forum.

As for Christmas, there is Christmas Common in Oxfordshire  .

Kidding aside, every time I look at this picture I wish I could be in England at Christmas time so I can visit Westonbrit Arboretum.

Hi Laura, welcome to POE Smile

Yes, I think home is where the heart is.  It's a joy to visit other places and see new things, but it's always good to get back home too. 

Not sure if you would want to travel as far as Nottingham, but I think this picture of the Christmas Market there looks very inviting!

Hi Laura and welcome to the site. I hear York is one of the best places in England to visit at Christmas, with its Christmas markets, concerts and lots of other 'Christmassy' events. It's wonderful there at any time of year, so I imagine Christmas time must be really special.

Hello Laura, welcome to POE. Yes you can stay up all night here if your not carefull. There are so many photo's of so many places. I dont go out normally at Christmas, so cant offer any sugedtion, but I'm sure you will get a few from the other members.

I now live in the south eaast of England, but my heart is in Wales where I was born, so yes you are spot on there. Wales is still my home.

All the best with your search.
