Harrow is a large suburban town in the London Borough of Harrow, northwest London, England. Harrow is centred 10.5 miles northwest of Charing Cross. Harrow was a municipal borough of Middlesex before its inclusion in Greater London in 1965. Harrow is home to a large Westminster polytechnic campus and its oldest secondary schools are Harrow School and Harrow High School.
Harrow-on-the-Hill includes the conservation area with a high proportion of listed buildings with a residential and institutional array of Georgian architecture and a few 17th century examples. Harrow gives its initial letters to a wider postcode area. The administrative offices of the borough are in the town which currently is made up of the Headstone North, Roxeth, Marlborough, Greenhill, Headstone South and West Harrow electoral wards.
Harrow historically included Harrow on the Hill, which sits on top of an outlying knoll and is contiguous with the centre of Harrow. Much of Kenton and before 1716 all of Pinner were parts of Harrow, geographical facts which root the importance of Harrow as a meeting place and a place of business. Harrow Weald, is the district north of Wealdstone, both of which were historically also part of Harrow. Harrow may also include the wards of Roxeth, Marlborough, Headstone North and Harrow on the Hill as well as the Greenhill, West Harrow and Headstone South wards listed above.

Wells, Somerset, England
The City of Wells is the second smallest cathedral city in England, after the City of London, but it packs a lot into it's small space. The cathedral, with it's magnificent west front, scissor arches, and it's 'sea of steps' leading up to the Chapter House. Vicars Close, thought to be the only complete medieval street in England; the moated Bishops Palace; and the twice weekly farmers market.

ROB ROY WAY - Part Two
ROB ROY WAY: This video was our Day 2 on the currently unofficial 79-mile Long Distance Footpath that is referred to as the Rob Roy Way, although later in the week there is also an association with our National Bard Robert Burns. From Aberfoyle, this is another 10-mile trek, this time to the popular blue-rinse tourist Highland stop of Callander, a burgh in the region of Stirling, Scotland, situated on the River Teith and often referred to as the Gateway to the Highlands. The River Teith is host to Salmon and Sea Trout fishing and is where Kingfishers, Heron, Swans, Mink and otter can be spotted. It emerges as the Eas Gobhain from Loch Venachar on the Way and flows some 16 miles (26 km) south eastwards past Doune (of Python 'Castle Anthrax' fame) before joining the River Forth 3 miles (5 km) north west of Stirling.
Heading north-eastwards through the Menteith Hills and above Loch Venachar, this section of the (now also partly waymarked) Way is mostly along stony paths or forest tracks complete with styles to negotiate and of course the usual few boggy bits, with the final section into Callander rather unfortunately along a very busy race-track of a minor road. In Callander the converted St.Kessogs church overlooking a paved square across from the 'Trossachs' shop, lies the Rob Roy & Trossachs Visitor Centre, where as well as tourist information services, the Rob Roy exhibition and audio visual show can be viewed.
In hillwalking terms Callander is synonymous with Ben Ledi, both of which achieved prominence during the 1960s as the setting and backdrop for Tannochbrae in the first TV series of Dr. Finlays Casebook. The second series of Dr. Finlay was filmed in Auchtermuchty, perhaps more remembered of late for its mention in the Canadian Millers advert that got banned. As you may just recall the ad featured a Mounty who announced during the first of a two-part advert that he had informed his grandmother that he was going to visit Scotland for which she had given him a fox hat. In the second advert screened just a few minutes later, he proudly announced to his grandmother from a Scottish phone box that he was now in Auchtermuchty, to which she famously replied Wear the fox-hat. It got banned after only a few showings.
Callander's attraction to visitors goes back a long way. The Romans named this place Bochastle when they built a fort beside the River Teith here in the first century AD. Today this episode in Callander's history is marked primarily though the name of the Roman Camp Hotel, near the eastern end of the town. Check the pink Roman Camp building if you ever visit here. The last person to be tried and imprisoned for the crime of Witchcraft in the UK was Helen Duncan from Callander. In 1941 during World War II she held a séance in Portsmouth at which she indicated knowledge that HMS Barham (a Queen Elizabeth-class battleship of the Royal Navy named after Admiral Charles Middleton, 1st Baron Barham, built at the John Brown shipyards in Clydebank and launched in 1914) had been sunk. However, the Admiralty had decided not to inform or rather delay informing the British public of this information (they waited until the following year in 1942), so instead made the initial decision to attempt to discredit her.
Dominating the town to the north are the Callander Crags, a visible part of the Highland Boundary Fault (the geologic fault that traverses Scotland from Arran and Helensburgh on the west coast to Stonehaven in the east).
On this Day Two of the RRW we headed through 'Dounans' school camp, past Aberfoyle Golf Course before entering the Malling Forestry Estate followed by a walk through the Menteith Hills to the hillside wooden picnic bench-set with views over Loch Venachar to Ben Ledi. Lochan Allt a'Chip Dhuibh could be considered the highlight of the day although later that evening reflections in the River Teith were equally impressive. Once the Invertrossachs East Lodge Gateway is reached, theres still a three-mile road walk left to complete, the halfway point of which is denoted by the hump-back bridge that comes into view on your left.
Day three (next video) sees the RRW continue to Strathyre. Wordsworth described Rob in a flattering portrait - Rob Roy The MacGregor: -
Heaven gave Rob Roy a dauntless heart,
And wondrous length and strength of era,
Nor craved he more to quell his foes,
Or keep his friends from harm.
Yet was Rob Roy as wise as brave
Forgive me if the phrase he strong
A poet worthy of Rob Roy
Must scorn a timid song.
Bear witness many a pensive sigh
Of thoughtful herdsman when he strays
Alone upon Loch Veols heights,
And by Loch Lomonds braes!
A few years after that poem Sir Walter Scott published his novel 'Rob Roy' firmly establishing the Trossachs in literature. Our Day 2 ended at the Bridgend Hotel bar on the Way. We stayed overnight at the central Dreadnought 'Battle Cry' Hotel and visited the Crown Hotel.

Bridgwater is a market town and civil parish in Somerset, England. Bridgwater is at the edge of the Somerset Levels, in level and well-wooded country; to the north are the Mendips and to the west the Quantock hills.
Bridgwater lies along both sides of the River Parrett, 10 miles (16 km) from its mouth, has been a major port and trading centre and maintains a large industrial base. Bridgwater is linked to Taunton by the Bridgwater and Taunton Canal. Bridgwater is between two junctions of the M5 motorway and Bridgwater railway station is on the main railway line between Bristol and Taunton.
Historically, the town of Bridgwater had a politically radical tendency. The Battle of Sedgemoor, where the Monmouth Rebellion was finally crushed in 1685, was fought nearby. Notable buildings include the Church of St Mary and the house in Blake Street, largely restored, which was the birthplace of Admiral Blake in 1598, and is now the Blake Museum. The town of Bridgwater has an arts centre and plays host to the annual Bridgwater Guy Fawkes Carnival.
Bridgwater is home to the Somerset Brick and Tile Museum, built on part of the former Barham Brothers site (brick and tile manufacturers between 1857 and 1965). Castle House was built in 1851 and was one of the first to make extensive use of concrete demonstrating an innovative interpretation of traditional masonry features in concrete.
A house in Blake Street, largely restored, is believed to be the birthplace of Robert Blake in 1598, and is now the Blake Museum. It was built in the late 15th or early 16th century, and has been designated by English Heritage as a grade II* listed building. His statue from 1898 by F. W. Pomeroy has been repositioned from the front of the Corn Exchange to face down Cornhill. The public library by E Godfrey Page dates from 1905.
Sydenham House was previously a manor estate built in the early 16th century, which was refronted and rebuilt after 1613. Its owners were on the losing side in the Civil War and again in the Monmouth Rebellion.
As trade expanded during the Industrial Revolution, Bridgwater was linked to Taunton by the Bridgwater and Taunton Canal (1827), although initially it ran from a basin south of Bridgwater at Huntworth. The Drove Bridge, which marks the current extent of the Port of Bridgwater is the nearest to the mouth and the newest road bridge to cross the river. With a span of 184 feet (56 m), the bridge was constructed as part of the Bridgwater Northern Distributor road scheme (1992), and provides a navigable channel which is 66 feet (20 m) wide with 8.2 feet (2.5 m) headroom at normal spring high tides.
