I recently posted another thread about the magazine Discover Britain, but got an email this morning with links to some of their articles. One in particular caught my eye, as it was called Chocolate-box heaven: 8 prettiest villages within a day's reach of London. I checked it out and the article is dead on accurate. Looking through it made me want to immediately jump on a plane, head for London and start making the rounds of these lovely villages!
You'll get a pop-up (maybe 2) but it's worth it to have a look at these places. These towns are just luscious!
