Hot Spots
Oxford is the big dinosaur central of England, and home of the very first dinosaur un-earthing - Megalosaurus. For non-dinophiles there is no end of sickly-scenic places well worth a holiday. While your boring spouse is off fossil finding you could kick back in the Quantock Hills, Devon, Cornwall, or the Lake District, make the most of world famous North of England wine tastings, or just learn English.
