We headed to Bath which has a lot of Georgian architecture and is a world heritage site and known for its hot springs. We had a drive around a circle of multi level houses called the circus - these apparently have the same dimensions as Stonehenge!
We got dropped off in town for a couple of hours to have a look around. Despite the wind and rain (just like good ole Wellington) we had a look at the old roman baths and round by the river etc. This would be a lovely place to spend some time on a sunny day
Next stop Glastonbury where the legend of King Arthur originates and an annual rock festival is held. Also known for being a magnet for hippies and new age shops - very like Byron Bay in Ozzie . We had a quick lunch at a very old pub - was like something out of a King Arthur set.
We then headed up towards Dartmore National park being treated to folk music on the way!!!! While on the motorway we passed heaps of caravans and motorhomes heading in the opposite direction - I started taking snapshots of them and couldn't stop!
The national park has clusters of rocks throughout them - very beautiful scenery and narrow windy roads. We had a quick stop at Widecombe in the Moor - a small village. Then we drove to Plymouth city by the sea. We drove to the oldest area by the Mayfair steps for a look around. Lovely area - saw the pilgram steps where all our rellies hopped on the ships to head to Oz and NZ.
We are in Plymouth for the night - 2 more nights left on our tour!
