Last year, I was fortunate enough to travel throughout the English countryside by car. Let me rephrase- I was lucky enough to have a family member live in England who was kind enough to take me around the island from east to west, and North to South. I still think about that trip, and I know that if I want to repeat the best two weeks of my life in terms of travel, I would need to learn to drive on the wrong (left) side of the road. Which scares the daylights out of me or find a private tour company willing to go off the beaten path to see some of the most beautiful picturesque towns and storybook homes:

Chiswick

Honington

Rye

Wherwell

Wiltshire
