PICKWICK LODGE FARM  

Set in a wooded valley, the charming stone cottages, the 17th-century Dower House, the arched bridge over the Bybrook and the ancient market cross all have a picture book prettiness. No wonder it was once voted the prettiest village in England. The village can trace its origins to the middle ages, where a castle was once situated(some reamins can still be found). Today, the village is more famous for its many TV and film roles, most notably for its starring in "Dr Dolittle". The Georgian city of Bath which is designated a World Heritage Site, presents some of the finest architectural sights in Europe, such as the Roman Baths & Pump Room, the Royal Crescent, Pulteney Bridge and the Circus. The city can trace its origins to Roman Britain, but came to prominance in the 18th century when its spa baths were used for relaxation. Bath is most famous for its fabulous wealth of architecture. Its main bulidings date from the middle of the 18th century and is of classic Georgian style. Not to be missed is the Royal crescent and Circus which were the first(and still rare) circular shaped town houses. Bath has a magnificent range of museums, restaurants, shops and wonderful places to see. One of the places which brings together all these things is Pultney Bridge. One of only a few bridges in the world that contain buildings, they give a small sense of what the old London bridge from the song, may have been like. Avebury is one of the most important neolithic sites in Britain and contains the largest stone circle in Europe. It was built between 4000BC - 2000BC and is made up of many stone monuments and earthworks. The area is thought to have been a site for the ancients to worship, but much mystery and speculation surrounds these stones.
