Swamps or bogs. I can't believe you've never seen An American Werewolf in London... Make sure you rent it before you go....

BWAAAHAAAHAAAAHAAAAA :shocked::mouthonfire:!!!!!
 
Moors - Hound of the Baskervilles etc. A broad area of open land, often high but poorly drained, with patches of heath and peat bogs according to the dictionary

I've always wanted to check them out..I've heard theres a bunch of neolithic cave sites in one or two of them...thats gotta be fun. Wow just had a thought of you eating a Naga at Stone Henge lol
O.k so if I were going I'd be bent on the history of the place, the Picts in the north, the walls of York, hadrians wall, Globe Theater etc., etc., etc.
 
If you cross the English Channel at Dover in the tunnel to France, you might plan to go to the Castle at Leeds. Wife and I went there and spent the whole day touring the grounds and castle. Richard I started construction on it in about 400AD. One of the more notable owners of it was Henry VIII.



If you do go here, you can't see it in an hour or two...the grounds are imaculate.

The most amazing thing to me was it has a spiral staircase carved out of a single Yew Tree. It is simply amazing. The art work is dated back to 900 AD I think.

In my opinion, a must see.

Of course, a day in London can not be missed....Westminister Chapel, Big Ben, and the palace horse guards. I got one of the horse guards to talk to me while he was sitting on his horse. It was about 80F and he had on an all wool uniform, leather boots to the knee and a brass breast plate on. I looked up at him and said "dang, I bet your hot in that get up. He said "Yes sir, it's typically British". Just funny.
 
If you're into the historical stuff IGG I can scan through a map & info sent to me by a friend - shows you where to go to see what...only covers palaeolithic through to iron age though...Ancient stuff....will be on your own with the written history.

pssst! Richard I (the Lionheart) wasn't born until the 1100's. Must have been a different Richard.

My memory does fail me sometimes.......like now I suppose.

I just know it is almost as old as some of the Pubs I went into...I was sure it was a Richard but looking it up, it says the castle was not started until 1100...I knew is was a King I somebody...it was Edward I and I would have sworn there is more to the history than it says.

wiki, wiki....William II (third son of William I) until 1100 (chaney style hunting accident) then Henry I (fourth son who was in the fateful hunting party) tch tch nasty accident.

Yeah - he seems like a cool dude, but it's still a 1981 movie...Hard to believe that movie was seen as state of the art, when you see the computer graphics involved in todays movies...


And I am an old guy who has seen the movie too. I just didn't get the referance at the time

Yeah - memory is the first thing to go...:confused:

Wait...what were we talking about? Where the hell am I?
 
He'll wake up in a sweat in the middle of the night "Oh Hell! Where the...Oh Thanks GOD!! I am asleep in a grave yard in transylvania. I had the worst nightmare! I thought I was at WORK!!!" lol
 
I'm not old (nor I will ever be!!!), but 'An American Werewolf in London' is a great movie.
'An American Werewolf in Paris' on the other hand sucks.
