So, 10 weeks after I got back from this year’s summer holidays, I have finally managed to get my photos sorted out.  This years trip brought me over the water to travel through Wales and then onto the South of England.

The first few days of the trip was spent travelling the length of Wales to our base in Ebbw Vale. From here I visited Cardiff, seen a lot of the old coal mines in “The Valley” and day trip to Gloucester visiting some old family friends returning to Ebbw Vale via the Forest of Dean.

The next part of the holiday was to set off on the long journey from South Wales to our new base close to Haywards Heath in the very South East of England (South Downs / Sussex / Brighton area).  From here we explored the local area including villages and towns such as Lewes and Brighton. Parts of the South East coast was also explored such as the Seven Sisters, onto the coastal town of Hastings before heading inland to the village of Battle – where the Battle of Hastings took place.

Also fitted in was a day trip on the train to London – seeing  attractions such as the Emirates; Tower of London; Westminister; Buckingham Palace and Harrods.

Some of the photos from the trip can be seen below.  The full collection is on my flickr page – click here.
