Eton Wick is a village currently in the English ceremonial county of Berkshire, but traditionally in Buckinghamshire, on the River Thames. According to the Grid Ref at the 2011 Census the population was included in the civil parish of Eton. It is very close to both the historic towns of Windsor and Eton, as well as Slough and Dorney Lake, the rowing venue for the 2012 Summer Olympics. The village has grown rapidly between the 1880s and the 2000s.

2. Stonehenge Amesbury
Stonehenge is a prehistoric monument in Wiltshire, England, 2 miles west of Amesbury. It consists of a ring of standing stones, with each standing stone around 13 feet high, 7 feet wide and weighing around 25 tons. The stones are set within earthworks in the middle of the most dense complex of Neolithic and Bronze Age monuments in England, including several hundred burial mounds.Archaeologists believe it was constructed from 3000 BC to 2000 BC. The surrounding circular earth bank and ditch, which constitute the earliest phase of the monument, have been dated to about 3100 BC. Radiocarbon dating suggests that the first bluestones were raised between 2400 and 2200 BC, although they may have been at the site as early as 3000 BC.One of the most famous landmarks in the United Kingdom, Stoneheng...

3. Hampton Court Palace East Molesey
Hampton Court Palace is a royal palace in the borough of Richmond upon Thames, 11.7 miles south west and upstream of central London on the River Thames. Building of the palace began in 1515 for Cardinal Thomas Wolsey, a favourite of King Henry VIII. In 1529, as Wolsey fell from favour, the cardinal gave the palace to the King to check his disgrace; Henry VIII later enlarged it. Along with St James's Palace, it is one of only two surviving palaces out of the many owned by King Henry VIII. In the following century, King William III's massive rebuilding and expansion work, which was intended to rival Versailles, destroyed much of the Tudor palace. Work ceased in 1694, leaving the palace in two distinct contrasting architectural styles, domestic Tudor and Baroque. While the palace's styles are...

Chessington World of Adventures Resort is a Theme Park, Zoo and Hotel Complex in Chessington, Greater London, England, around 12 miles southwest of Central London. The complex opened as Chessington Zoo in 1931, with the theme park being developed alongside the zoo by The Tussauds Group and opening on 7 July 1987, as one of the first themed amusement parks in Britain.

6. Blenheim Palace Woodstock
Blenheim & Woodstock was a railway station constructed in the neoclassical style which served the town of Woodstock and Blenheim Palace in the English county of Oxfordshire. The station, as well as the line, was constructed by the Duke of Marlborough and was privately run until 1897 when it became part of the Great Western Railway. The number of trains serving the station was cut in the late 1930s, and again in 1952 down to only six trains a day. The last train ran on 27 February 1954 adorned with a wreath. The station building was initially converted into a garage and petrol station. Then the forecourt of the site was no longer used as a petrol station, but for used car sales only with a building company using some of the land behind the station. There were proposals for demolishing the b...

7. THORPE PARK Resort Chertsey
Thorpe Park is a theme park located between the towns of Chertsey and Staines-upon-Thames in Surrey. It is operated and owned by Merlin Entertainments. After demolition of the Thorpe Park Estate in the 1930s, the site became a gravel pit. Thorpe Park Resort was built in the 1970s on the gravel pit which was partially flooded, creating a water-based theme for the park. This essentially allows guests to view the park as an island, which is where the park's current island like no other slogan originates from. It was officially opened to the public by Lord Louis Mountbatten in 1979. It has since grown into one of the major theme parks in the UK and now also features a hotel. Major attractions include a large water ride Tidal Wave, a number of rollercoasters including Colossus, Nemesis Inferno,...

Around Eton

A short tour around the Eton and Windsor areas, including Eton College and Windsor Bridge over the river Thames in England UK. Comments welcome.

I used to live very near here, about a 15 min walk away. It's a great spot for a walk in summer. And if you're a tourist visiting, then obviously Windsor Castle is a must see.

Best hotel in Bakewell? H Boutique Hotel in Town Centre, Peak District National Park

View the bedroom, beds, bathroom, shower, restaurant, cafe, reception in this video.

The H Boutique Hotel features a cafe and restaurant open to the public. It has ten rooms – three suites and seven luxury doubles – decorated to a high standard. Natural colours and light oak adorn the space. The en-suite bathrooms are modern and feature bath amd shower in the ones we viewed. Central location, 2 mins walk from town square and bus stop. 1min walk to the river.

Throughout the premesis all areas were clean and well furnished, everything appears brand new.

The bar and the restaurant welcome guests and public for breakfast, lunch, dinner. There is a roast on Sunday.

When we visited, the portions were generous and the service was on the whole very good, with some inconsistencies such being asked by multiple staff the same question (have we been asked for our drinks order) or not knowing (or finding out for us) the difference between the two elderflower drinks on the menu being made up for by going the extra mile on several other things. The menu included, chicken cesear salad, fish and chips, Eton Mess Cheesecake, a generous and great cheeseboard with decent crackers and exceptional butter.

All information correct at time of publishing.
This is an independent commentary based on one visit in July 2018. We have no connection, personal or business, with the hotel and receive no financial or other benefits from the hotel, it’s owners or any other party connected to it.
