Mystical England: A Backpacker's Dream
#solotravel
My backpacking adventure in England was a journey through fairytales and legends. I stepped into Middle-earth at St Edward's Church, where the iconic Lord of the Rings door transported me to a world of wonder. The charming Cotswold villages and picturesque Castle Combe stole my heart. Bath Cathedral's grandeur left me awestruck, while the rugged beauty of Snowdonia's Pen-y-Pass and Ogwen Valley trails tested my limits. The serene Llyn Ogwen lake reflected the majesty of the Welsh mountains. England, you have a piece of my heart, and I'll return for more of your mystical charm and natural beauty.

A super hot spot in the most beautiful countryside in the UK, the Cotswolds!
Castle Combe Village
Castle Combe has always been called the most beautiful village in England. The winding narrow streets in the village are lined with century-old stone houses, and there is a stream flowing through the village.
The Bridge Tea RoomsThe Bridge Tea Rooms
This century-old teahouse in the small town of Bradford is really easy to photograph. The entrance to the teahouse is right at the Hale Lane.
Hale Lane is a super beautiful local check-in location. There are many stone huts standing on both sides of this alley going down. You can also see the hills next to the village in the distance.
st edward's church
A very mysterious little church. There are two huge trees at the entrance of the church, hiding the door.
Bibury Bibury
Although Bibury is small, it is very easy to take pictures, especially the Swan Hotel at the end of the village, which is a shooting location for many photographers.
The Chipping Steps.Tetbury Tetbury
This step in Tetbury is the best vantage point to admire the village, with cobblestone paths and many bright flowers planted on the roadside.
lacock bakery
This bakery is very old, but it is very well preserved. The entrance looks full of medieval style, Sherborne Street, Burton-on-the-Water
Bourton-on-the-Water is close to the road, so transportation is very convenient. The small bridge in the village is also an off-camera location.
broadway tower
Broadway Tower is located at the highest point in the Cotswolds. It is said that you can see 13 nearby towns from the top of the tower.
