Writers, Royalty and the River
A great day out from London - Try something a Brit Different!
Windsor, The Chitern Hills & the Thames Valley
A stone's throw to the west of London lie the Chiltern Hills and the Thames Valley. Here, set amidst unforgettable countryside, thatched cottage villages, old coaching towns and along the banks of the rolling river Thames, are houses lived in by some of the greatest writers in the English Language and the graveyards where their bones now lie. John Milton found his 'Paradise Lost' here. Mary Shelley was inspired to write 'Frankenstein'. Jerome K Jerome lived besides the river and thought up the classic comic novel 'Three Men in a Boat'. Thomas Gray composed his still resonant 'Elegy' in the same churchyard where he now lies buried.
Kenneth Graham, also inspired by the river and 'the Wind in the Willows' gave birth to Toad, Ratty and Mole. Also there’s Windsor, best associated with H G Wells... oh, and that Royal family who have a castle here! This is a truly magnificent day out. The very best of Britain at London's back door.
