September Road Trip

We have recently returned from a short road trip in the south of England.

Our first stop was Oxford were we strolled around some of the many

University and college buildings.

Our next stop was Windsor and a tour of Windsor castle. The castle is

the oldest royal residence in the British Isles to have remained in

continuous use, and has been the home of 39 monarchs.



Photography is not allowed inside the castle buildings, but the tour includes

visits to several State and Semi State Apartments including the recently

restored St Georges Hall.

Our next destination was Hastings, but was stopped along the way

for a look around Tunbridge Wells and had some lunch along the Pantiles.

We stayed for two evenings in Hastings Old Town at a beautiful

Bed and Breakfast called Swan House. Hastings Old Town is full of

Trendy Gift shops, along with antique shops and several shops run by local

craft workers. We could not resist making a few purchases.

Whilst in Hastings we had a trip out to Eastbourne Via Bexhill on Sea

and visited the pebble beaches.

Despite the wet and windy weather forecast for our 4 day trip, we were

extremely lucky with the weather and only got wet once in Oxford

and during our time in Hastings it was actually quite warm.
