Hey all,

can anyone staying in London tell me if there's any beautiful visiting area 2 or 3 hours from London that's worth visiting? I'm more into natural places.. I'll be travelling to London for 6 days 5 nights.. Any suggestions will be helpful. Of course, if anyone knows any cheap and nice hotels, feel free to tell.. Thanks heaps..

Do you mean for day trips outside London, or for a short stay?

Although I've been to London quite a few times, I don't really know the surrounding area at all. Will have a think, though.

I assume you'll be using public transport? (Car driving and parking is an absolute nightmare in London itself - plus there's the dreaded congestion charge.)

This might help. There seem to be some pretty good suggestions on here: http://www.visitlondon.com/city_guide/beyond_london/south_east/index.html

Oxford, Cambridge or Canterbury are relatively near to London, accesible by public transport, and worth to visit. What about Stratford-upon-Avon (Shakespeare) or Windsor/Eton ?
Or you can take the tub and go to Kew (a wonderful and huge botanical garden, where I can easily spend a day), or go for a walk to Richmond & neighborhood (I spent an entire Sunday there, when I visited London in May).
Have fun !

Wisley is another lovely botanical garden just on the outskirts of London: http://www.rhs.org.uk/whatson/gardens/wisley/. I used to go there a lot when I lived in London.

The lake at Virginia Water is also lovely for a more rustic, less manicured walk: http://www.royal-windsor.com/greatpark.htm

If you mean a dry trip then I'd suggest maybe Stonehenge & Bath. I can't remember what company I went with but it was a really nice trip and I'd highly recommend visiting both places if you have not yet done so. I'm not sure if Bath qualifies as a "natural place" for you but it has some lovely scenery.
