Photography: Southern England (2000).
Aug 13th, 2009 | By Rob | Category: PHOTOGRAPHYEngland has such a long history dating back thousands of years, from Roman to present times, and the number of historical landmarks just littered across the landscapes, in between towns, is just staggering. Trying to see all of them in one trip is impossible, and England isn’t a very large country. These photos are from the second half of our 2000 trip to England - which began and ended in London - and cover a few of those “in between” spots. I only included the ones that were of reasonable quality, as it was my first trip and I had obviously not honed my photographic skills.
London we drove north, through Oxford and up towards Stratford, visiting Warwick Castle and the birthplace of Shakespeare, before heading back south - past Glastonbury and Stonehenge - towards the coast. We spent one night at the Mendip Lodge, just outside of Bath and met the most hilarious truck driver, two exchange students from Australia and a bartender who obviousy took his concierge duties a lot more seriously than his drink serving duties. Lets just say we poured ourself a few freebies, and the parts of the night that I remembered were fairly hillarious. Before heading back to London we made a trip to Brighton, visiting the sights there before the short journey to our home base.
