We'll be spending our last night in England at the Novotel at Heathrow. We'll drive up from Rottingdean (just east of Brighton) on Friday morning. It's less than 90 minutes from our rental to LHR, so we'll have the entire day to sight-see along the way - but where? We never did make it to Windsor last time, so that's a possibility. Since we're in Rottingdean for 2 weeks, I'm pretty sure we will have covered most of the towns within a 90 minute drive, unless we specifically save something for that last day.
My biggest concern would be parking in Windsor, in general, because we'll be there in mid-August, but specifically because all our luggage will be in the car. That will be a problem no matter where we go! What about Epsom - but I can't imagine there will be races in August. Or Weybridge - John Lennon used to own a house there, but other than that...... How about Walton-on-Thames?
I don't want the day to be stressful, and I'd prefer one stop rather than lots of short stops. If anyone has any thoughts, I'd love to hear them. If all else fails, maybe we can drop off the luggage first, then just drive to Windsor for the day. thanks!
