In October, I vacationed in an area of England I'd never seen...the south west portion. It covered the counties of Wiltshire, Dorset, Devon, Cornwall, Somerset, and Gloucestershire.
I visited Stonehenge, Salisbury, Lyme Regis (on the Jurassic Coast), Exeter, Dartmoor and Dartmoor National Park, Widecombe in the Moor, Plymouth (and the Mayflower Steps), Polperro, Charlestown (filming location for Poldark), Falmouth, Jamaica Inn, St. Michael's Mount, Penzance, the Minack Theatre, Land's End, St. Ives, Port Isaac (filming location for Doc Martin), Altarnun, Tintagel, Bath (Roman Baths), the Cotswolds, and Castle Combe.
Insert deep breath. Simply mentioning the areas doesn't do the tour justice. It was filled with beautiful scenery, incredible history, pleasant surprises, agreeable weather (for the most part), good food, and an excellent tour guide. Hopefully I will be able to focus future blog posts on some of the stops, etc. I'm very grateful for the experience and it was wonderful. For now, I'm sharing some screen shots of photos that can be found on my Pixels and Fine Art America sites. To view higher resolution images, please visit veronica-batterson.pixels.com.

Hoping everyone in the US has a safe and happy Thanksgiving Day in a couple of weeks.
