Picturesque places

Forge memories that will last forever against the backdrop of chocolate-box villages and picturesque towns in England. Thank goodness for digital cameras and their capacity to capture those myriad images of cricket teams playing on village greens, charming duck ponds and colourful hanging baskets. Look up from the quaint cobbled streets to marvel at historic hostelries and scenic market squares. Hand-in-hand discover stunning modern architecture as well as centuries-old buildings. These scenes from picturesque English towns are to feast your eyes on and remember for years to come. And unlike the photos, the memories won’t ever fade.
