Canterbury is a jewel. The Cathedral’s stained glass windows are glorious. Visit St Margaret’s church for a walking tour through the world of Geoffrey Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales – complete with sights, sounds, and smells! If you have a sweet tooth, you can pick up some wonderful hand-made fudge at the Fudge Kitchen on Sun Street.

One of the best "things to do" at Cambridge is simply walking around the different colleges. I suggest you begin at the Round Church on Bridge Street, as from here you can embark on a stroll south along the most famous colleges. The Round Church is the second oldest building in Cambridge; dating back to 1130 when the Normans settled here from France. Just south of the Round Church is Sidney Sussex College, where Oliver Cromwell's head is said to be buried about two blocks from the Magic Joke Shop on Bridge Street. The rest of this walking tour proceeds south on St. John's Street. Note that this street will change names twice as you pass Trinity College and King's College before becoming Trumpington Street in front of Pembroke College. When you approach a college, you will see a person wearing purple standing at the entrance gate. The purple people are porters; trolls who seek tolls from tourists. When they ask you "Are you a member of the college?" the secret password is "Yes" as long as you are dressed like a preppy student or look like a professor. I wore a black pants and big wooly sweater on the day of my walk in anticipation of having a gauntlet of portentous porters inquire about my membership status. Highlights of the tour include the Bridge of Sighs at St. John's and the Mathematical Bridge at Queen's College. Each time you infiltrate past a porter you will want to see how far west you can go toward "The Backs" in order to see more of the magnificent architecture. For example, the King's College Chapel is best seen from behind. You can end your tour with a right turn at Mill Lane and a meal at Dojo Noodle Bar or continue south to Fitzwilliam Museum on Trumpington Street.

Rugby has a KFC and a McDonalds

An attractive an typically english small village just to the south west of York. An attractive duck pond overlooked by a good pub, the Rose and Crown.

A small village to the north of Banbury with a great pub, the Griffin and an excellent walk. Park near the church and follow the path south into a wood and through too old gate posts. Carry on over a stile up a marked path, turn right onto the road then left after the small church and into the second field via a gate (signposted). Walk down the field to the river and admire the old stone bridges. Walk straight on back up a small road into the village and bear right back to where you are parked.

Visit the historic quay and allow plenty of time for your visit - it is well worth it.

best thing about Reading is the Reading Festival!
