service.
You could travel from Castle to Castle from England to Ireland to
Scotland stopping at all the pubs along the way. Rent a car. Also, by
driving from South England to Ireland, you can drive through Wales and
cross that off your list, because you can take the ferry from Fishguard.
(We've done Wales twice, the second time was to take the Fishguard Ferry
to Ireland.)
Now, bear in mind. To drive from south of London to Fishguard took us 6
hours. Another 3.5 hours on the slow ferry to Ireland. You'd need to
book a ferry out of Ireland to North England. From there, Scotland is
still another 6 hours away to get into the really scenic mountains and
Lochs. totally doable in your ten days, if all you want to see is
Castles, scenery and pubs.
This type of travel is our specialty. Remember, we did 6 countries (2000
miles) in 4 days AND fit a trip to the Louvre in there! LOLOLOL
If you did this, you'd need to fly into Gatwick (which is FAR easier to
get in an out of than Heathrow in a car) and then fly out of Glasgow.
Is this something that interests you? I've done this research and
spending a little time finding alll thelinks again, I could give you
tons of information to make something like this a reality.
Cheers,
Erika

Subject: RE: I'm going to England!
Unfortunately, we'll only be there 8 days with 2 days travel time for a
total of 10 days. We want to start out in England, probably outside of
London, or would London be a good place to stay. My brother and I
aren't
real artsy, so we're not going to want to visit art galleries or
museums.
We both like castles. We like beer......a lot. We're also big into
scenery. Would it be possible to do a circuit of England, Ireland &
Scotland in that period of time, or would our time be better spent
concentrating on one area. You've got to understand that I'm an
American
whose never stepped outside the country (not even to Mexico though I
live in
Texas) and I'm not sure of the scale of things.
