England Road Trip
In November of 2024 we took a circular road trip around England. We rented a car through Turo and began at St. Pancras train station in London. At the end of the week we ended at the train station also! Here is the route of our trip:
We began our trip in London and saw some of the most famous sites there. Below are photos & links to my blog posts about each place:
