A day walking around the fabulous Cheshire county parks of Tatton and Dunham Massey. Great views and deers in abundance.
Also had a good look around the affluent areas of Alderley Edge and Knutsford before moving to the trendy Altrincham Market for lunch with an array of independent eateries.
Now moved on to The Vicarage in Holmes Chapel and plan to explore Chester tomorrow.
After an enjoyable nights stay at The George in Cheltenham, we have headed north to Cheshire.
Our first stop being a coffee & cake in Congleton, before a stunning drive through the Peak District to the spa town Buxton, in a wet Derbyshire. Enjoyed our walk around this impressive town and the stunning opera house and former baths.
Had a great drive back over to Cheshire mid-afternoon and arrived at The Bridge hotel and restaurant which has proved to a real find, helped by a room upgrade to a super delux pad!
Drinks by a roaring fire and a delicious Malaysian curry and beer helped to finish off an enjoyable day in the North West.
After a great breakfast at the Hotel Du Vin looking out to Clifton suspension bridge, we had one more walk around this beautiful part of Bristol before getting in the car and heading north up the M5 to Cheltenham.
Michelle took up the mantle to create her own walking tour of yet another spa town, we managed to see the sights of this charming town and the array of Georgian terraces and majestic town houses.
Dinner was at Bosco Pizzeria followed by beers in Harry Cook pub. An enjoyable evening all in all. Off to watch the Spurs v Chelsea game back at the George Hotel.
Fab city, great hotel and superb location opposite the Clifton Suspension Bridge.
We had an enjoyable day walking the beautiful parts of Bristol seeing the River Avon, the old docklands and the independent shops that offer lots of fashion both for men and women.
More of the same tomorrow.
A full day in the spa city. Excellent walking tour with our guide Adrian. So much to see and understand about the history – hot water springs, the arrival of the Romans, the many cathedrals, the Georgian influence and the wealthy ‘Company‘.
After more walking along the impressive parks and canal (and the sight of an incredible rainbow) we finished off with a glass or two of vino at the Beckford Bottle Shop.
Finishing the day watching Strictly Come Dancing. Michelle’s a happy lady!
Woke up to sunshine and headed out for a circular walk around the New Forest. Beautiful woodland and sightings of deer, wild donkeys & horses.
Moving on in the pm to Bath, with visits to The Royal Crescent, Circus & the cathedral.
Drinks in town was a great intro into our first weekend on the road.
Rain, rain go away come back another day. We saw some sunshine after the heavy rains, but these returned in Milford and Lyndhurst. Managed to get to see my new cars…Ferrari, Ferrari, Ferrari!!!
Despite the rain, we managed to make it Beaulieu, Lymington, Highcliffe Castle, Christchurch before finishing off at The Pig Hotel & bar in Brockenhurst.
The sun did show itself and was in full glow when on Friars Cliff Beach.
Happy full sightseeing day.
After leaving Hungerford we travelled to the pretty market town of Marlborough, home to the famous private boarding school and a selection of well healed shops for the landed gentry. After that we headed south to the city of Salisbury and the beautiful cathedral. The centre is split between the old characterful historic part and high streets which have seen better days.
Goodbye Jericho, Oxford, thanks for the last 2yrs of city living. Hello to our first stop Hungerford and the home of Jenna, Martin, Enzo and Eira.
