Wells

This morning we joined our tour group for our 7 day Corners of Cornwall Tour with Backroads Tours. There are 17 of us and mostly Aussies.

As we left London we drove through Westminster and it was if yesterday hadn't happened. The city was clean and all the barricades etc were gone.

Our destination today was the city of Wells and then on to Dartmoor National Park for the night.

We drove through the green farmlands and villages of Wiltshire (famous for its pork) and across the Salisbury Plains.

Wells is the smallest city in England but has a magnificent Cathedral. When we were there they were celebrating the coronation with a community fair on the cathedral green, which added to the atmosphere. A highlight here was Vicar's Close, said to be the oldest continuously inhabited street in the world.

After leaving Wells, we drove through Glastonbury, saw some gypsy caravans and made our way on the back roads and country lanes through the picturesque countryside and villages of Somerset and Devon to Dartmoor.Okumaya devam et
