Though having a rough time these days at least in part thanks to Brexit, Britain is still a treasure trove of travel treats, from capital London out into England and Cornwall to Wales and Scotland. And across to Northern Ireland, too, of course!

  • A Special Invitation to a Public Flogging.

    Apologies if this flogration was too much of a flog to get through.

    We allow travel products and services to be added to our program at the same price that they are sold TO wholesalers or retailers....ie... the 'outlet' or ' source' price....they DO NOT have to be further discounted....hope this helps...this allows the smallest of quality travel businesses to promote their services at no cost to our members....full info onsite.

  • THE COTSWOLD WAY #PROJECT - ENGLAND - WALKING FROM CHIPPING CAMPDEN...

    www.edwhatamidoinghere.blogspot.com wants to explore with you the world in a different way. This time it will be walking along one of the most famous and most beautiful long distance walks in Europe: The Cotswold Way. And the media this time will be not just photos but videos too!
    The Cotswold Way is a long distance walk of 102 miles (little more than 150 km) starting in Chipping Campden in the heart of the Cotswolds. The Cotswolds, also known as Cotswolds Hills, are a large area in the West of England, North of the cities of Bristol and Bath designated Area of Natural Outstanding Beauty.

    www.edwhatamidoinghere.blogspot.comwants to introduce you to the beauty of the Cotswolds with videos with posts and photos. As we haven't followed all the Cotswold Way, but we indulged to some detours to visit some beautiful places just next to the Way, you will have the chance to plan your walk in this area, or, if you already know the Cotswold Way, discover some attractions you have missed keeping on the path and that you may want to visit.
    SAM_6949.JPG
    We divided the walk in 11 sections and every week we will publish a new section of the walk.
