My husband and I just spent a few days in London, before heading to Barcelona for a week.  It was great.  We met his mom and step dad in London, saw the sights, saw a couple of shows, stayed in a great hotel right on the Thames, practiced my night time photography, then spent a day driving in the English countryside to see Windsor Castle, Stonehenge and it's sister site at Avebury.  

I thought Avebury was really interesting.  It's a huge place...much, much larger in scale than Stonehenge, but not as complete.  It has a huge trench circle surrounding it and there is a very cute little village that was built partially inside the circle.  I loved the church there.  You can walk all along the trench and through the standing stones.  Silbury Hill is nearby and is a giant neolithic mound with no known purpose.  

The English countryside is gorgeous.  I'm pretty sure I would move there without hesitation.
