kiwidoc's post reminded me of my time in the UK last summer on holiday. My family and I essentially traversed the length and breadth of Britain.
My favourite memories are visiting old monoliths:
1. The stone circle at Castlerigg, outside Keswick in the Lake District.
2. Climbing up to the top of Glastonbury Tor - magnificent views all round. Pity we couldn't climb up the monument.
3. Not a monolith, but ancient nonetheless - Glastonbury Abbey. So peaceful and serene in there.
4. Visited the stone circle at Aylesbury(?) - a bit of a disappointment as there were many tourists (like me) and the stones were scattered all over the village. But intriguing, nonetheless.
Of course, my children's favourite memories were of Legoland in Windsor and Hamley's in Regent Street!

My one dislike - the price of petrol, almost one pound per litre!
