We would be grateful for some help on planning a self drive trip through the UK. Our problem is that there is too much to see and do and only limited time.
We can allocate about 30 days in England, Wales and Scotland and included in that time we want to spend about 5 or 6 day in London (we have been to London before and love it) We are thinking of going in either late May and all June or alternatively in September and early October.
We want to go to the following areas and need to know where we should make our base for day trips and how many days should we devote to each area
Cornwall and Devon and SW England generally
The Cotwolds
The Lake District
Yorkshire Dales area
Towns of York, Bath, Durham
Northern Wales
any other suggestions
We are interested in beautiful scenery, quaint villages, stately homes, short walks of no more than 2 hours. Local culture. We intend to self drive but want to try to avoid busy highways etc. We want to stay in B and B's or small hotels.
We are two seniors in our 70's but are fit. We are from Australia and so speak the language and drive on the "correct side of the road"
Any comments or suggestions would be most welcome.
