monuments of the British Isles. Stonehenge is in the form of a circle of
massive stones dating from the Bronze Age. Then, we see the medieval village of
Lacock, owned by the National Trust, and the setting for Emma and Pride and
Prejudice. We continue to the beautiful Georgian city of Bath, providing
visitors with a vivid picture of life in Roman Britain almost 2,000 years ago.
Nearby is enchanting Tintern Abbey, on the Welsh side of the River Wye. Thanks
to Wordsworth, Tintern is one of Britain's best known monasteries. The church
itself is graceful and delicate, with majestic arches and a beautiful traceried
rose window. Stay in Cheltenham, known for elegance and gentility, with its

Cotswolds, a gentle rural landscape of classic English countryside, ancient
Anglo Saxon settlements and old medieval towns and villages. In Shakespeare's
home town, Stratford upon Avon, with its half timbered Elizabethan
architecture, we see Anne Hathaway's Cottage, a picturesque thatched home. We
have time at leisure to explore this delightful town with its ancient houses
and unusual crafts and antique shops. We end our day in the Roman city of
Chester. No city in Britain is richer in archeological and architectural riches
than Chester. One of it's specialties is the "Rows", a double row of
shops one on top of the other, dating from 1485. Romans arrived here in AD70,
and Chester is riddled with Roman buildings and walls. Chester is the only
English town still encircled by a medieval wall. (B) ![]() Tuesday - LAKE DISTRICT/EDINBURGHDrive through the Lake
