Smart Travels Europe with Rudy Maxa Bath and South Wales Edinburgh and Scotland SEASON IV
Bath and South Wales We conjure a bit of magic when we visit the Georgian city of Bath and follow tales of Camelot into South Wales. In Bath, we marvel at ancient Roman spas and peek into the high society of Jane Austens day. We stop by Wells to admire that citys spectacular cathedral, and we quest for the Holy Grail in the mystical town of Glastonbury. The poignant landscape of Wales Wye River Valley offers a wealth of scenic riches. We investigate Caerleons claim to King Arthur and explore a ruined abbey that inspired poet William Wordsworth. Tips on bookstores and country fairs.
Edinburgh and Scotland Friendly and feisty, Scotland makes us feel right at home. In Edinburgh, we climb the ramparts of this citys famous castle, shop for kilts, visit mysterious Rosslyn chapel and thrill to a spooky ghost tour. Then we head to historic St. Andrews to practice our swing on the worlds most famous golf course. In the Scottish highlands, we try our hand at skeet shooting and falconry, and tour the Dewars whisky distillery. Then its off to historic Stirling to stroll the battlefields of Braveheart before setting sail on legendary Loch Lomand. Tips on golf and Scotch whisky.
