Geo: 51.3814, -2.35745Viewed the prehistoric setting of Stonehenge and later the Roman Baths in get this the city of Bath (makes sense huh). But Bath is also a Georgian city with extensive architecture built largely during the 17th and 18th century.Stonehenge is actually small, but it is remarkable that people without the wheel or equipment with which to hoist could have developed this place.

Westminster Abby, London Bridge (which actually is very plain), Tower Bridge (which is not), Buckingham Palace (Queen's home in London) and Sheila had a hankering to see where Churchill directed the war from (his underground War Rooms).The Abby here is absolutely enormous and beautiful.

In addition to viewing this document we saw a handwritten ... read more
