| Stratford-upon-Avon | What are some great Cotswold villages to visit? Posted: Sat June 28, 2008 06:41 AM UTC
I have about 2 days to see some Cotswold villages in September. I like the look of Chipping Campden and Broadway (and of course Stratford-upon-Avon) but am wondering if I am missing out on any other must sees.
I am travelling with mum and we are more interested in short walks (less than 5 miles within villages or in the countryside), and looking at lovely houses, etc than being inside museums. We will have a hire car. Sorry to have to post this in the Stratford-upon-Avon section. I couldn't find a 'Cotswolds' section. |

| Stratford-upon-Avon | Getting from Stratford to Birmingham Airport early Sunday morning Posted: Fri February 8, 2008 07:49 PM UTC
Hi, I've got a 9am flight booked from Birmingham on a Sunday morning. I've since discovered that not only does the bus outside my house not run into Stratford on a Sunday but the first train isn't until about 8am. Any bright transport ideas??

| Stratford-upon-Avon | Injured Birds on the river Posted: Sat June 2, 2007 09:38 PM UTC
I was walking near the river tonight and spotted an injured canadian goose with a bad leg. It couldn't put weight on it and didn't look to be able to swim.
Do people check the birds over at any time? I heard that they were looked after but wasn't sure if they just fed them. I hate seeing any animal hurt so hope that people do check them, because Stratford isn't the best at night and would hate for it to get hurt. Your response would be much appreciated. Kind Regards Caroline Wright |

| Stratford-upon-Avon | Hertz car rental in Stratford Posted: Sat March 31, 2007 06:41 PM UTC
Hello,
I see on Hertz car rental's website that they have a pick-up office at 1 Abbey Road in Straford-on-Avon, but I can't find any evidence of that on Stratord's websites, including the official tourist site or the railway station's site, so I'm a little suspicious of Hertz's claim. :) Can anyone verify that there are Hertz cars typically available to hire near the rail station in Stratford? Thanks, Tara |

| Warwick | Warwick from London? Posted: Thu January 29, 2004 04:28 PM UTC
Hello,
As I've said in a previous post, I intend on visiting Warwick Castle this spring on a backpacking trip. I am on a very tight budget and need to figure out the absolute cheapest way to travel to Warwick from London (and back). I also would like to find out if there are any hostels (good) or campgrounds (better) close to the castle that would allow me to travel on foot from the castle to spend the night. That is, unless there's public transportation in the area... as you can see I'm pretty much clueless about the area. Any help is greatly appreciated! Ken =) |

| Warwick | Warwick in spring... Posted: Tue January 6, 2004 12:08 AM UTC
Hello,
I plan on visiting Warwick between April/May of this year. It will be my very first time going abroad, and I will be backpacking (I love hiking/camping). Here is my question... 1) I hope to visit Warwick Castle to do either the Kingmaker's Feast or the Highwayman's Supper. Has anyone been to either of these and do they recommend the,? Is one better than the other? How is the castle itself? 2) What other things are there to do in Warwick? Cheap places to camp/stay? How is the atmosphere there during that season? Thanks ahead of time, Ken |

| Warwick | Heathrow to Warwick Posted: Wed June 18, 2003 05:13 AM UTC
Hopefully someone has done this trip and can advise a first-time visitor! I'm assuming the Heathrow Express connects somehow with trains that will take you out of the city and, in particular, to Warwick. Does anyone know which train lines travel to Warwick (I'll check the internet for their schedules). Also, is there any way of getting to Warwick without coming into London first? Time is of the essence in getting to Warwick, so Iappreciate any help offered!
