In Cornwall in Sept 2015, I almost caused an accident--saw a sign that said Ancient Mariner--Home of Samuel Taylor Coleridge!!! Hubby had to put the car into reverse. Place was closed but this time we're going when it's OPEN. Great pubs in Cornwall too and nice old fashioned places to stay. It's well preserved, as you said--of course hubby thinks it's spoiled because he remembers it way back when.
I've visited the Lake District--loved that too. Wordsworth's Cottage--to die for! Dales=love and especially Skipton with its castle. Been to the national park--north moors and out to Whitby one time. York Minster too. Favorite place in all of Yorkshire is Shibden Hall. There may be a genealogical connection to it, maybe that's why it draws me back.
Distant cousin in the Cotswolds so I've been lucky enough to have been there too. WOW, so pretty.
But Cornwall may have the best climate in the country. I don't know, but any place that has palm trees, seashore with turquoise waters, is not sweltering hot and muggy in summer and not piled with ice and snow in winter cannot be that bad a climate.
Bloody 'ell, suitcases are packed, awaiting taxi to train to airport...and getting ready to say Bloody HELL in the land in which such a great saying originated! Maybe I'll say it all the way over the on the plane for practice.
Have a safe trip; and I think the weather here is going to be fairly mild over the next few days.
And don't forget: we drive on the correct side of the road, ha!

That's a misconception. It just has the warmest winters, which is why the palm trees can grow. There's other places in Southern England with better climates IMHO.

There probably is: but nothing quite beats Cornwall, especially St Ives

Just relax, and enjoy the plane journey sweedie. Hope you have a great time while here!!
Try driving up to North Wales, we have lots of mountains and medieval castl
Been to N. Wales and it was pretty but I missed those castles. Thank you for those amazing pictures.
You people seem to have great year round climates down south. Our Down South is Florida and it's Bloody 'orrible in their long, suffocating summers, May to October. (Complete with herds of mosquitoes.) which you called mozzies? Poisonous snakes and man eating alligators too. No thanks. and nearly zero sense of history.
Putting St. Ives on my list. Lyme Regis, Dorset is on the list because when we were there in late summer the place was heaving. We couldn't even get out of the car. I'm getting knackered thinking about all this. Hubby drives on the correct side of the road--he comes from there. I simply sit there and scream. (about the beautiful countryside, lol.)
I'll be listening carefully for "Bloody Hell" and maybe some other, less popular expressions. I have a little book in which I write expressions that I hear. It started first time I went to Lancashire--couldn't understand a word of that language.
and here is a prime example of an instance requiring "Bloody Hell" and needing a smart phone to get out. A Yorkshire moor at 10 at night. (It stays light and I lightened the picture a bit.) Lost, just north of Huddersfield. Nice, in retrospect, but hubby wanted to spend the night crossing those endless moors to find a place to sleep? Bloody HELL! Turn the car around and go back!

Bloody hell! Aren't you on the bleedin' plane yet?
