The nice thing about the British hills is that they aren’t covered in trees, so you aren’t slogging through bush that all looks the same, you have a good view around and down.

The Cotswolds
Cambridge was a complete washout – we didn’t even bother going into town, so no pics from there.
Our campsite was at Bourton-on-the-Water, a very popular village, as you can see:-)
Norwich and the Norfolk Broads
This area is not as pretty as Constable Country, and we didn’t find a single thing in Yarmouth worth photographing. It is very run down and I doubt we will ever return. Still, we wanted to see the Norfolk Broads, and the windmills!
South Suffolk – Constable Country
Years ago, it was popular to have a print of John Constable’s famous painting “The Haywain” above the fireplace, and I always thought it was awful, and he must be a rubbish painter. However, about 25 years ago I went to the National Gallery in London, and saw the original, which is beautiful, and ever since then I have wanted to visit this area. It is lovely – the countryside makes you feel as though you are walking through Constable’s paintings. There are lot of medieval villages with half timbered houses and sagging roofs. Imagine a cross between a Constable landscape and Downton Abbey plus roads and traffic!
Southwold
We have long wanted to visit Southwold with it’s famous beach huts, a mecca for photographers, and here we are!
