Oh the places you'll go! Click here for my Travel Articles.
I wrote these articles after my travels to various places in the UK and Europe. Some may or may not contain valuable information. Presented in chronological order.
Oxford: Where Dodos and Academics Happily Co-exist Not quite all you ever wanted to know about Oxford.
Stonehenge: Ancient Astronomical Observatory, or Christo's Muse? Stonehenge as modern art? Plus Salisbury Cathedral, "modern" architecture's masterpiece.
Bath: Where Romans Bathed and Jane Austen Observed Getting to, and around, Bath.
The Lake District: Fells, Forces, Tarns and Thwaites Wandering lonely as a cloud, during a far too brief visit to the Lake District in Cumbria.

Fairford: A Cotswolds Jewel A complete set of pre-Reformation stained glass. That's all you need to know.

Scotland: Bring Hiking Boots, a Dog, and the Rough Guide Everyone should visit the Highlands of Scotland at least once in their life. Even teenagers.

Florence: And the Food Was Good Too What I didn't like about Florence, mostly.
A Picture of Dublin From The Book of Kells to James Joyce, and Guinness to Jamesons—Molly Malone's town has a little bit of everything.
Brussels: The Chocolate Is Not All There Is to Admire There are frites too.
Brighton: Designed for Shock and Awe. And with veggies in mind, including the ones on top of the Brighton Pavillion.
