England Picture of the Day

January 19, 2017: Gold Hill, Devon, England

A Village stuck in the past. Cobbled streets and thatched cottages.

Did you know that wherever you are in England you're never more than 70 miles from the sea ?

And that England is 74 times smaller than the US ?

That's not just a Picture of the Day, it's a picture of a lifetime. Makes me want to be there right now!

So beautiful and peaceful!

A surprisingly steep hill -- not what I normally think of when picturing England. But a truly great photo, thanks.

The steepest residential street in Europe is in Bristol, England.

That's a very steep street, Garry -- more along the lines of San Francisco than London. I see the cars go this down hill sideways. Safe move!
