As you can see, we concentrated on the historical/mythical sites. We spent a few hours in London, but we really didn't like it. First of all, a few hours just isn't enough time to see London. Second, our aunt just dropped us on Oxford street, so we never saw the usual places, like the Tower or the museums or anything. Lastly, we went to London after all these other places, and it's quite a shock to go from the peace and quiet of Tintagel Head to the hustle and bustle of London. Someday I hope to go back and properly do London, as well as visit other places we didn't manage to see, like Hadrian's Wall, Glastonbury, and Wales. Especially Wales.
Walk over England's mountains green?
(Supposed birthplace of King Arthur. The waves in the photo are breaking at the mouth of Merlin's Cave, which runs all the way under the island.)
On England's pleasant pastures seen?
(Where St. George slew the dragon. Across from chalk carving of Uffington White Horse)
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
Among those dark satanic mills?
(Where we stayed, in Edwinstowe. If you're going to be there, I highly recommend it!)
Bring me my arrows of desire!
(Where Robin Hood and his men were reputed to hide. It is hollow and can hold 20 men. It is over 1000 years old, and is still growing! That's why they need the planks to hold the branches up.)
Bring me my chariot of fire!
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand,
In England's green and pleasant land.
