UK in Two Weeks

A spectacular cathedral located on the Severn River. There are beautiful swans and ducks that swim by gracefully. The ancient bells that line the outer halls are something excellent - they date back many centuries. Take a walk down by the river and you will see flood levels marked on the walls and it is so amazing to see how high the water gets.

Try not to get lost when figuring out where to park for this cathedral. It is worth the fuss though! The grounds are wonderful and the crypt in the basement is awesome!

This is one of England's hidden treasures that not many folks know about it. These stone circles date to pre-Stonehenge times, so there is more history! They are kind of in the middle of nowhere, and the views are breathtaking when the fog is good or the sun is shining brightly.

The Malverns are a beautiful place to visit. When driving down to it from the North it seems like a large hill in the middle of flat lands. Explore the Malverns, there are lots of things to see! The Malvern Priory is an awesome cathedral to visit!

A lovely little cathedral located just north of Shipston-on-Stour near the A429 and Stratford Road.

A very nice church located on the A3400 just south of Henly-in-Arden, which is also another great little town to walk up the main street on! The Saxon Sanctuary dates back many hundreds of years and is still an active church.

This is a very nice caravan park in Wales just north of Barmouth. You can get a nice 2 bedroom caravan on the shores of Cardigan Bay (opens to the Atlantic Ocean). This park comes equipped with a lovely cafe (good English breakfast), an indoor swimming pool, and a nightclub for young folks. The views of the Welsh mountains are spectacular as they surround the park on the coast!

Shell Island is a small "island" north of Barmouth Wales. What makes it an island is when the tide comes in it floods everything around it and makes it inaccessible certain times of the day.

You can find all sorts of different shells, so if you are a shell collector, this is the place to go! TIP: Go to the North side of the "island" to get your shells, because that's where the folks in the gift shop get their shells from!

The church of mary in the hollow of the white hazel near the fierce whirlpool and the church of Tsyilio by the red cave. Yes that is what that translates too, and it's supposed to be one of the longest named towns in the world. Otherwise simply known as Llanfair in Wales.

If you are going to Wales, it is on the Isle of Anglesy just across the Menai Bridge. It's a must see stop on the way to Holyhead.

Holyhead, Wales is located at the tip of the Isle of Anglesy. It is a very picturesque place and they even offer tours of the beautiful lighthouse at the bottom of the cliff!

This is a really pretty castle with a moat and everything! Nothing is better than seeing the beauty of a castle in ruins, AND having a moat full of water. Your typical castle in the UK may have a ring around it where a moat used to be, but this one still has a beautiful moat. Enchant your young ones with stories of monsters (crocs or dragons) in the moat protecting the castle... he he.

Beaumaris Jail has a lot of history to it. It was recently featured on several ghost hunting television programs as being very haunted. I didn't get that impression when I was there, but it is an interesting place to visit. Located a short walking distance from Beaumaris Castle in Beaumaris, Wales.
