           "We drove around the immediate area, but didn't go too far afield: Castle Combe, Bibury, Lechlade. We went twice to the Westonbirt Arboretum — excellent — and watched Wimbledon on television. The weather was absolutely perfect! Thanks you for arranging it all for us — it was all wonderful."
                                                          —C. Curtis, New York

 HISTORY COMES ALIVE AT WARWICK CASTLE IN THE NORTHERN COTSWOLDS.
TAKE THE KIDS!

Family-friendly London.            
        Should we bring the kids along? Are you kidding?! There are great parks, steam train rides and boat rides better than in any amusement park, and, oh yes, amusement parks, too. Want history to come alive for your kids? Why not take them where so much history has been made? Worried about being away from McDonald's and TV? Don't be. Kids of all ages can get their burgers, fries and CNN all over Britain. And, who knows, maybe the kids will discover new tastes: fish 'n chips, ice lollies, and the fun of exploring thousands of years of English history from Stonehenge to Warwick Castle to the Industrial Revolution.
