Oxford, England, United Kingdom: Steve, of Sarah and Steve Travel the Long Way Round, shares Just Came Down from Oawxford, Dahling, saying “I loved wandering around the university. It gave me a feeling I don’t often experience – of yearning for a life unchosen. It would take years to even explore each college and many more to be invited into its traditions and secrets.”
York, England, United Kingdom: Yorkshire – God’s Own County presents Top York Churches. If you are looking for beautiful architecture, a cultural getaway or a romantic holiday then visit York. It looks wonderful.
