The past is not another country in the tradition-led lands of
England and Wales but at least the plumbing has improved. Once the
despair of travellers for its obstreperous hoteliers, dingy beds
and ration-led breakfasts (and this is where B&Bs were
invented!), the UK has now firmly taken advantage of its historic
housing. Grand but down-to-earth manors, comfortable lived-in
castles, redoubtably cheery roadside inns, spiffed-up townhouses
– the range is as varied and stimulating as the
landscape.
Whether you’re ambling through ‘green and
pleasant’ Devon, hiking Yorkshire’s wild and windy
moors or charging through the throngs of London, there’s a
very good chance you’ll come home to an affable host
who’ll serve a terrific smoked haddock paté with an
excellent Chablis and be pleased to discuss the Euro, after which
you’ll slumber heavily in a cushiony double duvet.
You’ll wake up to the sound of tea being poured and rain
pouring down, but then, some things never change.
The weather. It’s a wet island and not always warm. It’s pretty crowded too, especially in London where tubes and trains seethe with travellers. Motorways are often clogged with cars and if you’re coming from North America or Europe, remember to drive on the left!
