      I don't remember many details now as it really was a long time ago, 1973 I think, but I spent a week not far from Loch Lomond camping with the Sea Scouts. Some of the older boys got to canoe on the loch, but I hadn't done enough training on the marine lake back home in Southport so I never got that chance, but I did spend two days hiking around one side of the loch. I remember both the midges and the beautiful scenery.

    Hi. There was an American couple who recently posted videos about each day of their 9 day walk of the 102 mile walk of the Cotswold Way (finishing in Bath)) and they used a firm that sets the itinerary (so you can do it in fewer or more days than they did) and they book you into the hotels for each night of your stay and take your luggage from hotel to hotel so all you have to do is carry what you need for each day’s walk. I think their Chanel is called Off Day Adventures.

    Steam Trains in the UK are usually part of heritage lines, private groups of volunteers who keep history of the train alive and recreate their stations as they'd have been in the early to mid 20th century. They're usually on old sections of track now disconnected from the main network, though there's some exceptions! Paddington Bear was named after the station where they found him, which is a huge contemporary station in London.

    The Cotswolds isn’t a National Park, plans were put forward but rejected over concerns that it would be detrimental to local people, creating an increase in house prices and placing restrictions on planning and infrastructure. I live in the South Downs National Park, it has pros and cons, but inevitably it will push house prices even higher at a time when affordable housing is a priority.

    One site that was missed out was Arlington Row (15th century cottages) near Bibury. It's said that Henry Ford liked it so much he wanted to buy it and ship it stone by stone back to the US. He was unable to do this, so instead he purchased Rose Cottage in Chedworth. Dismantling began in early 1930 and 475 tons of stone and other building materials were shipped from London to New Jersey, and then on to Dearborn, Michigan. The cottage was rebuilt by Gloucestershire craftsmen and Ford factory workers at Greenfield Village, Dearborn MI, where it's the oldest building at the Henry Ford Museum.

    I got married in Gloucester cathedral, in July 1991. My, now ex, wife, went to the school affiliated with the cathedral. This gave her the right to get married there. It was the hottest day of the year and I was hungover beyond belief, after about an hour's sleep. When we signed the marriage cerificate, the vicar who married us, said he thought I was going to be his first invertebrate bride groom. It was a close run thing.
    I'm from a pretty rough area of Manchester, Wythenshawe. As we came out, there were lots of people clicking away, taking photographs and I saw my dad chatting to a few of them. I asked him later who they were. He said they were a group of Americans on tour and they asked who was getting married. He told them Lady Kate of Gloucester and The Earl of Wythenshawe

    If you want to know where the fictional island of 'Sodor', home of Thomas the Tank Engine is, find the map of the UK, and look for my home town of Barrow in Furness (where, I mentioned before, the submarines are being built) off Barrow is Walney Island, where I live, and further out to sea is the Isle of Man. Sodor sits between these two places. Also the first narrator for the animated series in 1984 was Beatles drummer Ringo Starr.

    I am fortunate to live on the edge of the Cotswolds. Our many villages are so beautiful, really chocolate box views. All those places are small towns and villages and these days extremely busy with tourists in the summer months. Bourton on the water is our often visited place as we are not too far away. In the summer, if you're lucky, you will catch the duck races which are such great fun. You can visit a railway set up and the model Village (of Bourton itself), but they are expensive. Do indulge in a cream tea. Our cathedrals are magnificent and on the whole, very old. They are not always free to enter, but if they are you are expected to donate money. The reason for that is, that a proportion of visitors like to deface, chip and steal artifacts which means replicas have to be made, the buildings take a lot of upkeep, and are always locked when not staffed. I am so proud to be English, I love our history and our decreasing scenery. I believe Linsay has a Scottish soul when she was so moved by the sound of the pipes. My family is a mix of English, Scottish, Irish and possibly French. I love that your beautiful wife joins you now it is so lovely to get her input, Steve.

You can also do smaller sections of it, ie 1 day hikes between villages. Some of the villages like Bourton on the Water can be extremely busy tourist spots especially during the summer months.

    I live in Kent, the so-called garden of England, but the Cotswolds is in my opinion the most beautiful County in England with its natural cream stone buildings, Boughton-on-the-water is just stunning

      The Cotswolds is an area not a county it’s in six counties including Somerset just ,Wiltshire Gloucestershire, Oxfordshire, and more

    I wonder how many 'wows' you said this time. It's so lovely to see your reactions - I think we get too used to it all. Cathedrals and castles and churches like that are all over the place, not just in the Costwolds. I was sat on that very bench in Bourton on the Water this summer and actually read my book there.

    Can confirm the Cotswolds is totally gorgeous. If you go to Gloucester cathedral nip down to Hereford cathedral too for largest chained library in the world, actual medieval map of the world and a Magna Carta. Then stay over in Hay-on-Wye bit further, as book lovers there's no way you should miss it! Bibliophile's nirvana set in picture perfect setting. 😉

      Shouldn't that be nip up to Hereford? Definitely a good recommendation though, I am a Gloucestrian but I really like Hereford it's so much calmer and a very nice place.

    There are LOADS of beautiful cathedrals in England so it's difficult to say WHICH to visit (or research). York Minster, Beverley Minster, the cathedrals in Durham, Ely, Coventry (modern re-build after wartime bombing), Gloucester, Wells ... And in London: Westminster Abbey, St Paul's. Enough to satisfy any visitor of modern still-used ecclesiastical sites.
    If you wanted to visit ruined abbeys, priories etc (but still with LOTS to see and usually exhibitions etc within them to explain), you'd hardly need to leave Yorkshire. In North Yorkshire alone I'll suggest a few there: Whitby Abbey on the cliff-top overlooking the North Sea (and the site where Dracula is said, in Bram Stoker's novel, to have come ashore in England), Rievaulx Abbey a few miles outside Helmsley with its castle, Mount Grace Priory (the most complete Carthusian monastery remains in England), the incomparable Fountains Abbey outside Ripon (the enormous wealth those institutions had in the Middle Ages), Jervaulx Abbey. The list goes on. You'd better book some holiday time off ...

      Thank you for such a detailed and thoughtful post, I love cathedrals/churches, they vary across different nations and reflect the nature/surrounding and people, the fit so well, of course very interesting history and very beautiful.

    I had my honeymoon in the Cotswolds back in 1992. We stayed in a beautiful old stone built cottage in Malmsbury. Definitely one of the most scenically stunning places I’ve ever visited. Kinda sad I never found the chance to go back. If you love our railways, check out The Romney Hythe and Dymchurch Railway in Kent.💞🇬🇧

      Railways - mmm The Cheltenham Spa Express from Paddington London to Cheltenham Spa, passing through The Golden Valley (Chalford). Seeing the rolling hills and valley where the sheep were prolific, providing for the wool trade. Stop off at Gloucester city, then travel onto Cheltenham Perfect day😍😊

    For many years I wanted to move out of London and buy a small house in the Cotswolds. When I was finally ready, we got hit the virus, the economy went south , so now I guess I'm stuck in London , and my dream is delayed. But only delayed. 🇬🇧 🇺🇸
