It's good to be mobile and free again. We find that it's a good idea to book each campsite a day in advance. Campsite facilities and access to public transport are generally very good.
Day 1
CLOVELLY- It's still a pretty seaside village but now the only access is via a visitor centre and a 8GBP entrance charge. (At least no 3D experience, pirate rides or fake pasty shops like at Land's End ) This rampant commercialisation of the countryside is beginning to irritate us.
GLASTONBURY - With the festival over for another year, it's a quiet market town full of hippies and crystal shops
WELLS- Smallest city in the UK, with a gorgeous cathedral.
Day 2
BATH- A must on any UK itinerary. We enjoy the award winning Indian Restaurant lunch and the Roman Baths tour. The Bill Bryson commentary on the hand held guide is fun.
Free Day
WANTAGE A visit to Craig's pub.
Shopping and Laundry
Day 3
BLENHEIM PALACE - One of the most beautiful estates in England, with fabulous gardens. We loved the secret garden.Birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill.
OXFORD -A nice City.The usual Costas and All Bar Ones squeezed in between the hallowed halls of learning. A tour of the Bodlian Library is a must.
MORETON-IN-MARSH - The Cotswolds villages are very quaint with lots of gift shops, kitchen shops, restaurants and local delis. A good place to overnight.
Day 4
COTSWOLDS - Pretty scenery and a few more towns like Stow-on-the-Wold and Chipping Norton.
Its hard to enjoy strolling through villages in the rain.
STRATFORD-ON-AVON - Birthplace of the Bard, good examples of Tudor Architecture, a few good pubs,less rain and a lot more tourists.
Day 5
SHREWSBURY - This is a good little city. Not as touristy as some other places we have been to but busy because of the flower show. It's also the birthplace of Charles Darwin, but they hardly make a thing of that at all, except for a statue outside the public library, which used to be the school he attended.
