@glorybe  ~ You should go! All of the U.K. Is magical. I've never been to Scotland and its on my bucket list. 

England is just amazing and having family there is amazing. Definitely see London. But, then get into the countryside. That's where you see the real lives of everyday people. 

I took my daughter when she was 15 and it was a wonderful trip. We did the touristy things~even saw Stonehenge, Stratford on Avon, Bath, and the Cotswolds. Then the rest of the time was with family. I took her to the church my parents were married in, my Grandads pub, and the school I went to as a child. Once in a lifetime trip that neither of us will ever forget!

FYI:  Poldark takes place in Cornwall, I believe, not England.

And the Cornish are Celtic, not English.

I loved the first Poldark series done in the 1970's and I've read all of the original novels. I haven't watched the new series. Both series were originated on BBC.

Hi NoelSeven - just to reply to your post Cornwall is in England.  As you have states here we have counties and Cornwall is a county of England.  If you google counties in England you will see the whole of the country is divided into counties - like you have states here and they all make up the U.S.A that is how England is but we call them counties.  I lived in Vornwall for a long time and my first granddaughter was born in city of Truro we go home all the time and Poldark country is all around our village - very beautiful but very cold and windy too.

Hi dulwich

I go with the Cornish nationalists, my great grandmother was from Cornwall.  It is also considered one of the Celtic nations, as are Wales, Ireland, Scotland and two others.

Details from Wiki:

Nationalist activists amongst other Cornish people, question the constitutional basis for the administration of Cornwall as part of England, arguing that the Duchy Charters of 1337 place the governance of Cornwall with the Duchy of Cornwall rather than the English Crown. These charters and various constitutional peculiarities related to the Duchy of Cornwall are claimed to distinguish Cornwall from England to such an extent that Cornwall should not be described as part of England in a constitutional sense.

dulwich,

I've wondered about your name and if it's Celtic.  I don't want to pry if you don't want to say, but I've wondered about the pronunciation

[dulwich]

Great talking to you NoelSeven - my name is pronounced "Dullidge" but spelled Dulwich and is the name of the "village" I lived in in London.  The City of London is divided into Boroughs - like N.Y. has the  Bronx, Brooklyn, etc. London has boroughs e.g. royal Borough of Kensington, - well Dulwich is indeed a village within the city of London - we have a toll gate, a duck pond, a College and an art gallery and no buses allowed to go through the "village" and it is in the Borough of Southwark - pronounced Southark.  Sorry getting carried away - we should do lunch at the Ritz - my treat.
