West England

Rick Steves' Europe Travel Guide © 2016 | The quintessence of charming England is the “West Country”: quaint Cotswold villages with their fine churches, manor homes, and gastropubs; Wells, England’s smallest cathedral town; and the New Age capital of Glastonbury, with its legends of the Holy Grail and King Arthur. We'll finish by pondering the dramatic prehistoric stone circles of Stonehenge and Avebury. #england #ricksteves #ricksteveseurope

[@stevedl3150]

That is, I`ll have to admit, true - notwithstanding I`m English ( England having in recent years been ruined by unrelenting over-development ). I remember visiting St. Augustine`s Monastery, Ramsgate, Kent in January 1983. I was woken up in the very early hours of the morning and invited to what I understand was Lauds ( Morning Prayer ). Looking out of my window into the Monastery garden I observed that it was snowing heavily, and a thick blanket of snow weighed down on the evergreens. I heard the chanting of Monks without. The most surprising thing to me was that the journey from my room to the Church was by way of a tunnel under the road between the Monastery Cells and the church, as I followed these black hooded Monks into Lauds. It was all so Medieval like. Then the beauty of the church within.... But then there is mainland Europe, which is altogether far more fascinating a place than England, I reckon. In 1989 I was in the City of Valladolid, NE Spain, staying at what I think was called St. Catherine`s College. A Priest gave us a tour of the place, and led us into an old Library which some workmen had found. They also found some books ( as I suppose they would, it being a Library ). The Priest opened some of the books for us, which were all in printed form. But in many parts the printed words had been crossed out and in their place was the hand-written remarks and `corrections` of The Order of Preachers. Ie, the hand written `corrections` of The Spanish Inquisition. It shoved history - alive and kicking- right into my face. I wouldn`t want to live anywhere else but in Europe. This is where both the old world died and the new one was conceived.

It's unappreciated because it doesn't exist. England has long left behind whatever culture it had, the people have no identity and are just existing.

[@Eadric_The_Wild]

​@@N_ei_L our identity and culture hasn't been destroyed yet, despite the best efforts of our dear, benevolent leaders we're being oppressed, repressed and persecuted in our own ancestral homeland and one day there will be a backlash. i don't know how much more it will take before the backlash finally occurs, but it is coming. English people are of a stoic and reserved character, so it's not in us to be brash and constantly force our culture and identity down everyone's throat - but English culture and identity is there and is very much alive in the hearts and minds of English people. when you subject a specific group of people to oppression and intentionally try to destroy their culture and identity, it's only a matter of time until they begin fighting back. it's not over yet. we will win in the end. our ancestors resisted the Normans for decades, despite all the torture and executions. we're still the same as we ever were. we haven't changed. if need be, we can resist just as our ancestors did. *"Now in the primitive state of the kingdom after the Conquest those who were left of the Anglo-Saxon subjects secretly laid ambushes for the suspected and hated race of the Normans, and, here and there, when opportunity offered, killed them secretly in the woods and in remote places: as vengeance for whom when the kings and their ministers had for some years, with exquisite kinds of tortures, raged against the Anglo-Saxons; and they, nevertheless, had not, in consequence of these measures, altogether desisted"* _- Excerpt from Book 1, Chapter 10 of 'Dialogus de Scaccario' by the Norman exchequer Richard FitzNeal. 1180AD._

[@FriedEgg101]

Many of the villages he visited look perfect and idyllic, but they don't look like that for no reason. Rick mentioned that you can only build out of that one type of sandstone, but that isn't the only rule. What I'm trying to say is the local bylaws, and living in a listed building, would probably drive you nuts. To live there you have to be part of the tourist attraction. I imagine it's hard to be overly private. One does not simply live in Lacock. Plus house prices are astronomical. There are places in the area that are almost as pretty where normal people can live, but house prices are still astronomical. So if you can't afford a £500k+ mortgage your choices are council house/flat (long waiting list unless you have kids), spend half your income renting, or go live in Trowbridge.

As a British person, a Londoner, time and again, even my jaw drops at the beauty of the countryside and coast of my country. I have stayed in a very old cottage in the Cotswolds and it was beautiful. Any moment you half expected a Tudor Gent or a Regency dandy to appear around a corner. You might listen for the swish of a lady's cloak while a fire crackles in the parlour. If you dream of visiting then please do it, you will not be disapointed!!

I'm from Scandinavia, I visited England the first time when I was 11yrs old, in -76, with my mom. We stayed a few days in London and I loved that big city, especially I remember that the huge parks like Hydepark made big impression on me, and Trafalgar square! Then we travelled by bus far out to the countryside, I believe it was somewhat near to Wales, where we stayed at a farm with bed and breakfast for one week! From there we made day-trips to small beautiful villages. At nineteen I backpacked around England for a month! I still go back for holidays every now and then, there is so much to see and to enjoy.

Can't imagine why it gets hate. I'm from the US and visited London for a few days. The people were so lovely and friendly. Anytime my friend and I looked around with a puzzled expression or looked at a map someone offered to help us. We never even had to ask. Lovely land, lovely people. As friendly as fellow Texans (Texas comes from tejas meaning friendly) any day. And the charm factor is like a fairy tale.

[@rijoola]

I'm an Indian. Every piece of history that we learn is closely connected to England and being one of her colonies, it's we who should have been angry on the English for looting our resources. But the fact is we still love the British don't know why. I studied English literature for my UG and PG, sometimes I think I'm better versed in English history or the history of Britain than any other.. It's seriously a dream to visit the English countryside

West country girl here It's definitely pretty and so much history that it's not surprising you'll go to a coffee shop only to find out that once upon a time a king danced on the table there or something The weather isn't as bad as its made out to be, that gets worse the further north you go. Down in the south the weather is much warmer. I'd say the biggest downside (or upside if you like closeness) is how everything is very compact here. Our houses are fairly small and you can never truly be more then an hour away from civilisation.
