England: The Counties


England has 47 counties, each one laden with history ancient and modern. In this round-up of major features and attractions we include Hadrian’s wall in Northumberland, Bamburgh & Warwick Castles, the Yorkshire Dales, Manchester’s Old Trafford stadium, Liverpool, the inland canals, the Lake District, Wordsworth country, the Cotswolds, the Whitbread Hop Farm, the British spa town of Tunbridge Wells and the Sussex Downs. We also find time to learn about Devonshire teas and Cornish pasties and visit a vineyard at Penshurst which is also a wildlife sanctuary for rare breed sheep, exotic waterfowl and a mob of wallabies.
