BRIGHTON, SUSSEX


Brighton Pier, originally built in 1891, is one of the city’s most popular landmarks, attracting more than 2,000,000 visitors a year. Stretching out 525 metres into the sea, it offers a wealth of entertainment in the form of arcades, rides, a funfair, fortune tellers, bars, a bingo hall and even a night-club. Brighton simply would not be Brighton without it!

NORWICH, NORFOLK


This is a traditional English pub on the bank of the river Wensum situated near Norwich Cathedral between Tombland and the Saxon river crossing of Fye Bridge. This 14th century building has seen Norwich grow as a port, witnessed medieval traders unloading onto Quay side and was the haunt of wherry skippers who sailed on the Norfolk Broads. The sign dates back to Henry VIII and proclaims one of his favourite dishes. Well worth passing a few pubs for to look and try some local brews and Norfolk dishes.
Very soon I'll show you other pictures of the very charming city of Norwich

WINDSOR, BERKSHIRE


Windsor Castle as you probably know is an official residence of The Queen and the largest occupied castle in the world. A Royal home and fortress for over 900 years, the Castle remains a working palace today. But the town itself is very charming and one must absolutely walk along the river Thames...

TEWKESBURY, GLOUCESTERSHIRE


Abbey Row Cottages.
Typical village of Gloucestershire. Worth a visit!! These cottages were built in the late 15th century for the Benedictine Monastery as a commercial venture and consisted of shops which were opened to the street by lowering their shutters to act as counters. Today this row houses the National Trust Shop and the John Moore Countryside Museum.
