The outmost Southwest of Great Britain was always a site of special events of English history. The prehistoric stonehenges and menhirs, the historical mines of Cornwall and the Victorian Manor houses and gardens are examples which allow us a manifold insight into Englands history.
On our fototour round the counties Somerset, Devon, Cornwall and Oxfordshire you will experience the flair of historical buildings. You will throw a glance at the wild romantic coast of Devon and Cornwall and you will immerse yourself in the legendary life of King Arthur. You will visit the blooming gardens of Victorian and Edwardian times, where gardeners established tropical flora from the far reaches of the British Empire in deeply carved fertile valleys.
A short excursion to Bath takes you on a journey to Roman Britan, where hot springs and mineral water provided health-giving waters. The sacred springs as a place to meet, to discuss business and to entertain and as a place to communicate with the presiding deity served as a site to perform a sacrifice to make shure the healing powers of the gods were at work.
With a trip to Oxford we will end our tour and we will look insight the College gardens and Botanical Garden, where generations of College students, teachers and gardeners cultivated valuable plants and created islands of beauty and floral abundance.
