We've just visited: |  Welwick, St Mary's Church
Welwick, Yorkshire, EnglandIt isn't easy to get to Welwick; it is situated off the beaten path in the most southerly area of the Holderness peninsula, but its well worth the trip, for the church of St Mary is full of historic interest, with a fantastic late 14th century tomb and associations with the Gunpowder Plot.

Brighton - Brighton, East Sussex, England
The major town and beacon for visitors in East Sussex, Brighton spreads out along the coast so that it is hard to tell where it stops and the surrounding urban areas begin.
