My friend and me traveled 3 weeks through England & Wales by rental car. We slept in B&B's, at private houses and in the car:)

| From Heathrow we drove to Frome in Somerset. We started our tour there. Frome is just a charming small english town. You can have nice walks in the fields around and it's just lovely there. |

| Ok, we were really impressed by this huge & beautiful cathedral! We spent a whole afternoon there, walking through the cathedral, discovering a lot of things inside, lying in front of the cathedral in the grass, having a picnic, it was beautiful! And ...there was no entrance fee:) |

| We were not very keen on visiting Stonehenge, but we've been close so we decided to go. And - that was a good decision, we were pretty early in the morning so it was'nt so crowded. And it was totally fascinating and it was more than worth the visit! |

We stayed there 2 nights, and the tourist information in Bath gave us the tip to stay there. for us it was the perfect place to stay. 60 Pounds for a double room per night, including breakfast. The room was very tiny, but with a nice decor and very clean. The manager was a really nice lady who made a delicious breakfast.
And also great: They gave us a parking pass and we could park for free on the street! |

7. Botanical Garden Bath, Somerset
|
|
| It's not big, but beautiful:) With hidden pathes and no entreance fee.... |
|
|
|
|
|
| It's not the beautiful landscape you can find here, it's more to watch people at a typical beach promenade. |

| We loved that place! we spent about 4 hrs walking around (outside) with our audio guides. Inside it was'nt that spectacular...but walking outside and having a picnic in front of the castle was nice. |

|
| This was our favourite castle on that trip! We arrived very early in the morning, we were the only people there, no entreance fee and a kind of mystic. We felt like in movie, waiting for some knights coming around the corner:) |

|
| We were disappointed from Swansea, because we expected much more. But...there was a very nice city beach! |

|
| We spent there 1 night, and we really enjoyed our stay! Especially the breakfast:)))) |

|
| We loved Barmouth! How great is that, having the ocean and the mountains so close together. We did great hiking tours and always with a nice view to the sea. Oh, and we met a lot of sheep! |

|
| What a lovely pub! It's very old and cosy, but there's also a lot of space to sit outside. Very crowded in the weekend....students everywhere. |
