Some ideas to inspire you...
The Cotswolds, England
Carrying the designation “Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty”, the Cotswolds are memorable for their quintessentially English scenery of green rolling hills and meadows encompassing thatched and stone-slated villages. In the Middle Ages the Cotswold Lion, a breed of sheep, supported a prosperous wool trade with the continent resulting in significant local wealth much of it used to build large “wool churches” and stately homes still in evidence today, using the honey-colored Cotswold stone supplied by the underlying bedrock of Jurassic limestone.
Explore the World Heritage City of Bath, the historic towns of Burford and nearby Blenheim Palace, Chipping Campden and Broadway both connected to the Arts and Crafts movement, the iconic hamlet of Bibury with much loved Arlington Row and the picturesque villages of Stanton and Snowshill.
Ancient Castles of the Loire Valley, France
Discover the unique scenery of the magnificent Loire Valley in the center of France and visit the world-famous royal residences of Chambord, Chenonceau, Blois, Amboise and Villandry. With their turrets and flamboyant renaissance architecture often reflected in the waters of the rivers, the spectacular castles and their intricate gardens provide some of the most beautiful classic images of France. Once the favorite hunting grounds of royalty, the Loire Valley is a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its cultural landscapes.
The Dolomites, Italy
The Dolomites of northern Italy are among the most dramatic mountains on Earth. Stunning pale peaks rise abruptly from rolling green meadows. Their geologic composition includes both dolomitic limestone and volcanic formations, and the inhabitants ae equally mixed: Italian, Tyrolean, and Ladin influences all co-exist here. Villages dot the steep, narrow valleys. The area has been inhabited since the first humans came to Europe. Control of the region has variously fallen to Celts, Rhaetians, Romans, Tyrol, Austria, and today, Italy.
Nowhere else can you find such craggy peaks so easily accessible, with many trail reached by cable car. Nowhere else such stark, white mountains contrasting with such lush, green meadows.
