An English Easter

For our first travel in the UK/Europe, we decided on a roadtrip to Bath and Devon/Cornwall over the Easter long weekend. We hired a car and explored Avebury (similiar to Stonehenge), the city of Bath and the Roman Baths, clambered over a number of castles, ate Cornish pasties and soaked up the gorgeous English countryside and narrow lanes. We had a very quaint time and it was lovely to get out of London and see some new sites. With our English Heritage passes in hand we were able to visit many castles and heritage sites, which opened our eyes to how old England is - so many buildings here have been around longer than Australia has been settled for!
