Sherwood Forest

After a bit of a frustrating time trying to actually FIND Sherwood forest- and yes we followed those darn brown signs for miles- we finally came across the Major Oak and the info centre. So glad we persevered. The kids were so excited! 




The interactive display was excellent. The last tome Zi was here, it was really just a hut and a walk to the tree. They have made cafes and restaurants, displays and playgrounds. I even saw signs for a medieval fayre in August.

B and B breakies

Did I mention how good English breakies were? Well, the B and Bs take the prize.

We've stayed in the most extraordinary places.. The decor so bad, its good..




Gorgeous Stratford on Avon

Beautiful tudor buildings, lovingly restored and maintained.

Just a few shots from our walk this evening. Great to see some places now restored and opened.Hope to take the kids to a few famous spots tomorrow.
