Travel Resources
We consulted “DK Eyewitness Travel Guide Great Britain” for identifying specific attractions to include during our trip. The book was helpful to identify walking tours, museums, as well as providing days and times that specific places are open to visit. We recommend purchasing a book similar to this one when planning a longer trip.
