I recently went to England and many of my memorable experiences took place in smaller quaint towns England. I personally visited Chester and York. I also visited the area of Greenwich, in London.


Here are some of the highlights from these towns:


Greenwich



  • Visit Cutty Sark - this ship is a record-breaking tea clipper that travelled the globe and visited every major world port

  • Make a stop at The Painted Hall which is the highlight of the Old Royal Naval College

  • St. Paul’s Cathedral is breathtaking


Chester 



  • Walled City - is known for being the best preserved walled city in England as its medieval walls form the most complete circuit around any town or city in England

  • There are beautiful cobblestone streets wherever you turn

  • You'll really enjoy the authentic English feel

  • There are many small boutique hotel accommodations for you to chose from

  • If you're a whiskey lover don't miss the whiskey store – they offer tastings, have very reasonable pricing and it's very easy to get from London via rail


York



  • Calling all CHOCOLATE LOVERS - make a visit to York Chocolate Story. Enjoy the history of chocolate making and taste some amazing chocolate

  • Jorvik Viking Centre is another stop to add. Here you can enjoy a Disney-like ride experience the winds you through the Viking's life experience

  • There are endless thing to do in York - lots of shops, bars and restaurants for your enjoyment

  • Did you know? Diagon Alley was modeled after York. There are plenty Harry Potter shops to stop in


Experience England beyond London. I would be happy to assist with your travel arrangements.
