Cotswolds & The Seven Sisters in The UK

February 19, 2022

This was meant to be our 10 days' Xmas holidays trip, but due to the severe Covid-19 restrictions, which were applied in the UK, we had to call everything off. Because we had already paid for the hotel and plane tickets, me managed to change the dates of our stay and go on our journey. We shortened it by means of celebrating a short Saint Valentine's trip.

It was a trip I had planned to do with Bilbo, but Iberia wouldn't allow him to fly.

With much regret I had to leave without him.

These are some of the highlights of the trip.

This is Belle Tout Lighthouse in Eastbourne, which has been converted into a very special and beautiful hotel. It is rather pricey, but well worth it.

This is as big as a supermarket can get in one of the villages at the Cotswolds.

This is Cotswolds' Little Venice

The dates of our stay coincided with the celebrations of the platinum jubilee of Queen Elizabeth

One of my fave English words is loo :)

Tolkien found inspiration to write his stories right here

Cotswolds Cemetery

This building was home to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, creator of the fictional character Sherlock Holmes. The writer, got retired in Eastbourne, and spent his last days of life in peace here.

We booked a cottage to stay at, right in front of his house. They organise annual hikes to celebrate him and visit the Seven Sisters, and people disguise themselves in Sherlock Holmes and Mr Watson's kind of attire, or so they say.

There is a wide variety of hikes.
