The pictures found below are from our trip to England and Scotland in June of 2002.  We drove from London to stay with our friends at Fersham Lodge in York, then on to Haltwhistle where we stayed a couple of days, on to Carlisle for a few hours, and then drove to Oban, Scotland where we began our Scotland trip.  Click here to see our Scotland pictures.  After leaving Edinburgh, we drove south and spent a couple of nights in Durham, then left for York stopping at Alnwick Castle along the way.  After spending a few nights in York, we drove back to London where we spent a couple of days seeing local London sights and even a day trip to Stonehenge and Avebury (the day after the Summer Solstice).  This page includes a few of the many pictures we took in the various locations throughout England as we drove to and from Scotland.

These pictures have been "optimized" for download speeds but if you are interested in the original larger pictures, just let me know.  They average around 700K in size and were taken with a digital camera.  Some of the pictures below may be around 100K in file size since although optimized, the quality was needed to show the beauty of the various sites we visited.
