We left southern England and visited Liverpool to see some Beatles sites; The Cave where they played, their museums, Strawberry Field and Penny Lane. Then to Newcastle, while in Newcastle we took day trips to Edinburgh and a cave hotel built in 1705 that is still in use. Hadrian Wall was great experience, we walked 5 miles of it then stopped. However, walking the coast line for miles was our favorite activity.

Still southern England: Wells, Oxford, Cornwall
The second half of our time in Southern England we visited Wells, Oxford, Glastonbury, Portland, Cornwall, Cheddar and other places too many to name. Wells is the location were they raise the Queen's swans, Oxford of course has the oldest university in England which has 39 different colleges. Glastonbury (fairy land) is full of mystical shops and activities. However, returning back to our village of Nether Compton every night was the best thing we did. In our village, people rode horses every day on the tiny road. On our daily walks on their "Pathways" we talked to villagers tending their gardens and they shared interesting things about Nether Compton.
