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!

Likewinter This famously scenic corner of Cumbria in the northwest, a 5½-hour drive from London, is dotted with hills and mountains (including England´s highest, Scafell Pike, 3,209 feet) as well as charming villages and towns like Grasmere, Kenwick, and Windemere.

  • I think this piece is a bit off when talking about when to go to find a spot along the processional route. Typically for a royal occasion people camp out the night before and sleep on the street to keep their space. The area in the circle in front of the Palace will be controlled access. There are bleachers set up, but those come with a cost and connections. The international TV networks are having 22 studios built on the side nearest Canada Gate. So after the wedding and when the Royal Family have returned to the Palace, then the crowds will be allowed to walk up The Mall to gather around the Victoria Memorial and greet the family on the balcony.

     

    The train connections into London can be somewhat problematic. Aside from delays, those trains will be packed so the stations will be crowded. The day of the wedding is an official holiday in the Kingdom so most people who know where they're going will either be there or stay in.

  • Interesting piece on suggestions and strategies for visitors to experience the reoyal wedding at the end of this month! http://on.msnbc.com/ganttz
  • Great blog for a hotel in Brighton - if you are promoting tourism to the UK and sending clients to London - look to Brighton, its only 40 mins away with great beaches and the most eclectic shopping and cultural experience in the UK. Brighton

  • Here at The World on Wheels, we thought we'd lost a batch of photos we took on our first trip to London forever. A house cleaning turned up the photos in a box of CD's, so enjoy some of those restored pictures in today's report on London: http://tinyurl.com/y4us2l9
