I'm not sure when this will happen, but I've started planning my next big trip: England, Wales, and Scotland (Yay!). So I thought for this weeks TT I'd list 13 places I'd like to go on this trip. This list is not in any particular order.
1) Bath (the Abbey, the city, the Roman Baths)
2) Stonehenge (I turned 21 there- reason enough to go back, no?)
3) St. Ives- beautiful light, great hiking trails, and a branch of the Tate gallery (if you click on the link and look at the picture- I don't remember any of those buildings being there-sigh).
4) Isle of Skye (and hopefully the Northern Lights)- didn’t get that far north the last time, but I intend to).
5) Lake District- my idea of heaven. With flowers. And poetry. And great walking.
6) Edinburgh (and of course, the Castle)- saw the castle last time but only spent one measly day in the city (long before J.K. started creating Harry’s world).
7) Hadrian’s Wall-milecastle forts, housesteads, and more great walking.
8) Rosslyn Chapel (yes, I read the book- and enjoyed it- but the pictures of the building in the movie did it for me- gorgeous picture).
9) Hay-on-Wye- 30 used bookshops in one town, what’s not to love.
10) Oxford- Yup, gotta go. I’d love to see the Bodleian Library, but I don’t think it’s open to the public.
11) York- city walls, Roman buildings, the River Ouse.
12) Loch Ness- yup, we’re looking for Nessie.
13) Inverness-another great place to walk.

I would be happy just to travel more than 6hrs from here:)
Wonderful places though!!
I love the places I've been on your list and would really like to visit the others.
Happy TT.
Sounds great! One of these days, I really want to get to England.
Sounds like a wonderful trip. I'd love to visit most of those places someday!
Lori- I know what you mean, I've been trying all summer just to get to the mountains and visit my mom.
Thanks for stopping by -e, that's why I'm planning this trip.
Hi Darla and N.J.- it's a really great place to visit (just rather expensive at the moment- the exchange rates is somewhere around $2 per pound. Ouch!).
That sounds like a wonderful tour. I hope we can explore when we make the family trip.
Great list. Especially Nessie!
Awe, don't do this to me. You'll have me daydreaming all day of traveling. Nice list.
Think we can fit me into your suitcase?
I'd LOVE to see these places. Heck, I'd love to see England, period.
Oh, I would *love* to go to these sites! Sigh. Maybe someday!
Thanks, Ann, England, Scotland, and Wales are great places to explore.
Thanks, Charli, now all I have to do is wait and prepare *g*.
Ciar, I do that frequently.
Susan- I'll be taking a backpack, otherwise I would say you might fit. I will however bring back lots of pictures to share.
Joely, Ya never know (I'll keep thinking you will, how's that?). Happy TT.
I was completely impressed with Bath. It was fascinating! I saw a thing about the forgotten undergrounds of the world on history channel this weekend and now I simply must go to Edinburgh.
can i come?
I've seen that one. The program on everything that is beneath the city of Paris was fascinating as well. They found the remains of a Roman settlement under Notre Dame.
Shiloh- Sure. Do you have a passport? :)
