But, this isn't just any tour, as we were able to walk INSIDE Stonehenge after hours. We had the most amazing and beautiful day and we were so lucky with the weather.

    The Great Hall in Harry Potter is actually based on Christ Church college in Oxford. Oxford is an amazing very cultural place that I can't recommend enough that you visit some day. It has a castle,beautiful gardens, great museums and its famous river that you can go boating on. It also around 30 minutes away from The Cotswolds, which is arguably the most beautiful place on Earth

    As a bit of trivia you may not know, though Salisbury Plain is famous for Stonehenge, in that same area, Salisbury Plain has a huge section owned by the military. The UKs largest military training area is there. It's also got unique wildlife in that area with several things only really being able to exist due to the military vehicles essentially tilling the land, constantly driving around there. I have a video on the wildlife in that area. One of the worlds largest flying birds also inhabits the area, the Great Bustard "Wild Britain with Ray Mears - Series 3 Episode 4 - Salisbury Plain - 2013 HD"

    The trio of little pies looks nice. I like variety in a meal. I'm from the North West of England and pies are a main stay in these parts. In my home town youd find easy atleast a dozen places offering some sort of pie within a 5 minute radius 😅 be it a bakery selling hot pies, or a pie stall on the market or butchers selling chilled pork pies 😋

      I think so, for Stonehenge you have plenty of time and you don't have to walk very much and with Windsor you are doing it at your own pace if you go in the castle. However, you don't have a ton of time at Windsor Castle (2 1/2 hours) which it takes about 10 minutes to walk from the bus to the castle.

    Our food can be amazing, our bad rep comes from the war and GI's. This is very annoying we were 2 years into the war so all food was restricted, so when they- Americans turned up 2 years late they had no idea how bad we had it. So the bad food is rubbish mind In the 70's our food was not great. Blackberry and apple crumble is by far the best combo, but it has to have Birds custard. I stir some double cream in the custard, naughty but wonderful.
