The plans for the last half of our 2 week trip are suddenly up in the air as our reservation on a flat just outside of London was abruptly cancelled yesterday (long story!). Our original plans went like this:
~fly into London, take train to Matlock and spend first night there
~see Chatsworth the next day, then train to York for the next 2 nights
~drive through North Yorkshire Moors, spending the night in Whitby
~drive back to York the next morning, then catch the train to Oxford
~2 nights in Oxford
At this point we were supposed to go to the flat in Wimbledon for the remaining 7 nights.
I think we've decided to go from Oxford to Bath for at least 2 nights (maybe 3?) and we want to spend the last 3 nights in London.
So our problem is where to go in-between? My mum suggested Dorset, but I think we'd have to rent a car to do that as the transportation links from Bath seem rather convoluted.
Don't want to do Stratford, have considered Brighton for 2 nights (but again, getting there...?), or we could just pick one of the small Cotswold towns and stay there I suppose??
Any great ideas...we're open to all suggestions right now!
