The Compleat Angler. Marlow. |
|
|
|
“Oh the brave Fisher's life, It is the best of any, 'Tis full of pleasure, void of strife, And 'tis belov'd of many: Other joys Are but toys; Only this Lawful is, For our skill Breeds no ill, But content and pleasure.” |

|
|
Cliveden. Taplow. |
|
|
|
Ask almost anyone who knows Cliveden House about its history and they’re almost certain to say “colourful”. This, it should be said, is something of an understatement for anywhere that is reputed to have played host to just about every British monarch since George I. |

|
Hartwell House. Aylesbury. |
|
|
|
First mentioned in the Domesday Book and belonging to the son of William the Conqueror, Hartwell has a rich history which touches upon more than England alone. |
|
Shakespeare House. Grendon Underwood |
|
|
|
Today dispensing fine guest house accommodation, this attractive Elizabethan structure was once a coaching inn on the road between Stratford and London. It makes perfect sense, therefore, that the building is rumoured to have been used by William Shakespeare on several occasions while journeying between the two. Indeed, the Bard would certainly recognise it today. |
