Putting together plans for a two week trip to the UK for family of four adults. Tentative plans are flying into London, 1-2 nights, mainly for Warner Bros Studios/Harry Potter, then renting a car to start tour. Will travel to North York (Moors National Park) 2-3 nights, via Bedford and Lakenheath. From there to Edinburgh area for another 2-3 nights. Travel to Fort William (Jacobite Steam Train) for 1 night Will travel to Cotswold for 2-3 nights. From there back to London for return flight. We lived in the Bedford area in the early 70s for a couple years, so are somewhat familiar with driving habits and public transportation. Would prefer less traveled routes for scenery purposes, and lodging in the smaller villages to the extent possible. Will be flying from Arkansas. Would like your thoughts on the following as well as any other advice
1/ Staying in Watford Junction area vs London
2/ Bed n Breakfast vs Motels
3/ Points of interest at each of the locations
4/ Is London best for arrival and departure
5/ Car rental companies
