I am an expert on family travel to London, England and the United Kingdom. I can provide practical, up-to-date advice and information for families planning to visit London. I have traveled to the city numerous times with my two children and have written a guidebook based on these experiences. The fourth edition of the guidebook—LET'S TAKE THE KIDS TO LONDON—is published by Roaring Forties Press (Berkeley CA). The book and eBook are available online from Amazon.com, BarnesAndNoble.com, Apple iBookstore, and other booksellers. My website is www.KidsToLondon.com. I enjoy helping fellow travelers and welcome questions from families and others visiting London. | |

I should be most interested in questions on Yorkshire. Since I live in Yorkshire, I should not be able to contribute suggestions on accommodation and very few on restaurants. On the other hand I have walked a considerable amount in the Yorkshire Dales and the South Pennines and my job used to see me covering all parts of the county. | |

As a full time, UK based, travel journalist, I travel almost constantly around the whole of the UK, searching out restaurants, hotels and "must see" places. Visitors for both business and pleasure are welcome to ask questions. I almost always travel by public transport, so questions on rail, air and coach / bus travel are also very welcome. I also regularly write about and use the "Eurostar" rail service between London and Continental Europe - which uses a tunnel under the English Channel - so I am able to help with any questions there, too. | |

Hello, Anna! I am not a resident of the U.K., but rather an American with enthusiasm for visiting Britain. However, I think I can help at least a little bit. You mention that you will be staying in
I would suggest that you stay in the county of Devon, which also has 250 miles of coastline - this way, you'll see a lot of the countryside *and* not spend a lot of time driving. Your priority, though
Please get a good map of England so you can have it to refer to. In addition to the counties of Somerset and Devon to the south of Bath and Bristol, there is the coastal county of Cornwall which is great
Paul, thank you for your interesting question. To help me best respond, can you tell me how you're getting around the areas mentioned, please - I presume you're intending to hire a car? There is
Dear Paul, while I have been an enthusiastic visitor to England in the past, I am not a resident there. So I want you to know that I'll share my knowledge as a tourist rather than a resident. I have
