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.
Pluckley, Kent, England
Pluckley is known as the most haunted village in England, but there's more to see than apparitions! For a start, there's the lovely old parish church of St Nicholas. There was a church at Pluckley at least as early as AD 1090, though it seems very likely that a Saxon building must have preceded it. The oldest section of the current church is the north-west corner of the nave, which dates to the Norman period.
