Focus on…

Although at the beginning Val does not want to spend her holidays in the countryside, the English rural landscape is something unbelievable. Every years it is visited by a lot of tourists who are fascinated by the patchwork hills, dramatic dales, ancient woodlands and winding country roads. In this amazing countryside you can travel back in time admiring the grand interiors of a stately home before, having a look at the surrounding gardens. If you are interested in the ancient time, you must sightseeing the gorgeous ancient stone circles and crumbling castles, or step into a chocolate box of quaint villages and market towns and live like a local citizen, tasting farmhouse cheeses, cream teas and authentic ales along the way.If the story of Alice in Wonderland has enchanted you, take an Oxford River Cruise trip along the Thames just like the real protagonist of Louis Carroll’s novel many years ago.
