Fly & Drive Zuid West Engeland

Über das Reiseziel: Of all European capitals, London lives deepest in the imagination of travelers. We absorb London before we know it exists and when we finally approach the city, it does not disappoint. There are the red double-deckers, the bobbies and impassive guards at Buckingham, Westminster Abbey, and the notes of Big Ben, sounding familiar, as we have heard them before. We see these things with satisfaction. Yet there is much to surprise. London is not quaint. London is not a museum, though you could spend all of your time going from one to the next. It is a booming, urban sprawl, with traffic snarls, shops, and an astonishing international population. Visit the many monuments with nearly a millennium's worth of history, from the grave of Chaucer to the pub where the captain of the Mayflower drank to Piccadilly Circus, one of London’s most photographed sights. But don’t miss contemporary London, with its intensely active theatres, international cuisine, political demonstrations, the latest in music and fashion, punks and peers, and everyone in between. In 1777, writer Samuel Johnson said when a man is tired of London, he is tired of life, and the phrase is still true. There's something different to experience every day in London.

Über das Reiseziel: Falmouth (auf Kornisch: Aberfal) ist eine Stadt und Seehafen an der Mündung des Flusses Fal, an der Südküste von Cornwall, in England. Sie hat laut der Volkszählung von 2001 eine Bevölkerung von 20.775 Einwohnern. Ursprünglich hieß sie Peny-cwm-ciuc, was zu 'Pennycomequick' (Penny kommt bald) wurde. Falmouth ist bekannt für seinen bemerkenswerten Hafen. Zusammen mit Carrick Roads bildet er den größten natürlichen Hafen in Westeuropa und den dritten der Welt. Es ist auch berühmt dafür, der Start- oder Endpunkt mehrerer Rekordreisen um die Welt zu sein, wie zum Beispiel die von Sir Francis Chichester und Ellen MacArthur. Es war auch der Hafen, in dem am 5. Juni 1808 die asturische Botschaft an König George III. landete, nachdem das Fürstentum Asturien den Krieg gegen Napoleon erklärt hatte.

Über das Reiseziel: Bristol is one of the most dynamic and cosmopolitan centres outside London, as well as one of the largest commercial ports in the country. Bristol is a modern, vibrant and attractive city with richly varied architecture and a fast lifestyle. Nonetheless, the Old City district remains almost unchanged, with cobbled streets and historic architecture. One of the most valuable architectural sights of the city is the church St Mary Redcliffe. This ancient church was described by Queen Elizabeth I as 'the finest parish church in England' and its architecture is the most perfect expression of the Gothic style. Located in the beautiful College Green Park, opposite the town hall, the Bristol Cathedral stands. Founded in the twelfth century, it is an imposing landmark and a beautiful building with marvellous gothic features, vaulted ceilings and beautiful stained glassed windows. Tired with the old? No worries, Bristol is known for being a hotspot of trends and popular culture and its urban and street art scene is unrivalled in the UK. This is Bristol. A modern, artistic, and multicultural city, full of exciting attractions and bursting with events and festivals throughout the year.
