For over 20 years, the Britain Express family have toured England, Scotland, and Wales, visiting historic sites, taking thousands of photographs, and sharing our passion for Britain with the world. We love exploring the UK, and hope that whether you're a Brit or a tourist, you'll take every chance to discover British history and landscape for yourself, and enjoy the wonderful heritage that awaits in every corner of this wonderful country. Get inspired - Explore Britain's Heritage!
Most of our family travelling is done via stays in self catering cottages, where we can unwind and tour one area in-depth for a week or even 2 at a time.

Our look at the lives of famous people in art, architecture, science, and literature.
Gloucestershire, England
Little Rissington is a small village just east of Bourton-on-the-Water, halfway up a hill, looking out over Bourton Vale. There are some lovely Cotswold stone cottages by the road, and a path leads to the 12th-century parish church. Though the church is worth a visit in its own right, most people come to see the RAF cemetery in the churchyard, a legacy of the village's association with RAF Little Rissington during WWII. There is an RAF memorial stained glass window inside the church and excellent views across the Vale from the churchyard.
