Stonehenge is an impressive
megalithic monument which origins has been lost in
time. After visiting Stonehenge we went to Bath, a friendly town famous for it’s Roman baths and it’s
Georgian architecture like the Circus and the Royal Crescent. For stamp collectors (like myself) Bath is the town from where the first letter with
a stamp was sent. |

The Cheddar Gorge is the deepest gorge in England
and of course famous for the cheese that comes from there. Today it has
become a bit of a tourist trap. After a tiring day. Astrid and Dagmar still
had energy left to fool around before going to sleep. |

In the New Forest there a lots of half wild horses.
Astrid and Dagmar tried to pet them all and take pictures of all of them |

The next stop was Dartmoor
that is a lot more rugged than the New Forest but the horses were almost as
tame and the landscape much more wild. |

Dartmoor National Park contained
more than horses and moors. This old stone bridge is one of the interesting
sites. On our way back to London we stopped at a chalk horse which
unfortunately does not come out too clear in the picture. |

A stop in Oxford, one of the nicest English
University town. In the center of Oxford there is a
copy of the famous Bridge of Sighs from Venice. |

It is impossible to drive close to London without
stopping and also we did not succeed. Instead we spend time looking at some
of the sights and of course shopping. |

Just before going back into the tunnel we stopped in
Canterbury, which besides a famous cathedral also has a very nice center. A
last stop at the white cliffs of Dover completed this short vacation in the
UK |
