<title>Cathedrals for the Curious</title>
<description><![CDATA[I just received a copy of <strong>Cathedrals for the Curious</strong>, a wonderful new book by Geoffrey Lord, and I thought it deserved mention here. The book is an alphabetical guide to the 'curiosities' of British cathedrals, covering architectural details and oddities. If you've ever wondered what a reredos is, or found yourself bewildered by overly obtuse guidebooks, this is the book for you.]]></description>

<title>English Heritage events, Christmas 2011 and Spring 2012</title>
<description><![CDATA[Our friends at English Heritage have just made available to us their upcoming schedule of events for the Christmas season and the first few months of 2012. Events at historic properties are an enjoyable way to spend some family time over the holidays and at the same time sneak a bit of history under the kid's radar in the guise of good-old fashioned fun.]]></description>

<title>Capability Brown Blue Plaque at Hampton Court Palace</title>
<description><![CDATA[If you have the slightest interest in British stately homes you will be familiar with the name of Lancelot 'Capability' Brown. The foremost exponent of British landscape gardening, Brown had perhaps more influence on the way historic houses and grounds look than anyone in history. In recognition of the profound influence exercised by Capability Brown, English Heritage have announced that a blue plaque in his name has been erected at Wilderness House, Hampton Court Palace.]]></description>

<title>London Photo Gallery</title>
<description><![CDATA[Last year I got to spend a week in London. Now that may not sound like much to those who regularly commute about the city, but for a Cotswold lad like me it was big stuff, I assure you. And being the inveterate photo-snapper that I am, I came back from my week of exploring the city with a few thousand photos. Well, they won''t do any good just sitting in my camera, so it is with no small measure of pride that I unveil the <a title="London Photo Gallery" href="/photos.htm?attraction=3250">London Photo Gallery</a>, an illustrated guide to historic places to visit in the central London area.]]></description>

<title>Applecross peninsula - the most scenic drive in Britain?</title>
<description><![CDATA[I've just returned from three glorious weeks exploring Sutherland and Wester Ross. There's lots to share with Britain Express readers - sheesh, I took over 6,000 photos! But one thing I couldn't wait to share is my vote for the most scenic drive in Britain. I've had the pleasure of visiting almost every corner of the country over the past few years, but the circular route around the Applecross peninsula of Wester Ross is arguably the most beautiful drive I've ever had the fun of exploring.]]></description>

<title>British Heritage Awards - Best Small Historic Visitor Attraction 2010</title>
<description><![CDATA[Yesterday I anounced the launch of a new feature on Britain Express, the 1st annual British Heritage Awards. The awards are a way to recognise people, places, and organisations that excel in promoting an appreciation of British history, culture, and tradition. Gee, that sounds a bit pretentious; let's just say I think these award winners are really cool! Today it is time for the first award; the <strong>Best Small Historic Visitor Attraction 2010</strong>.]]></description>

<title>Cornwall Tourist Pass</title>
<description><![CDATA[I just became aware of a rather useful discount pass covering Cornwall, one of the most popular destinations in the UK for both Brits and tourists alike. Its the aptly named Cornwall Tourist Pass, and it could save you quite a bit of money on a holiday to Cornwall.]]></description>
