There are some trains from Paddington<\/a> that cost only \u00a320 (including the return).\u00a0The visit to the Windsor Castle<\/a> is a must! But I strongly encourage you to buy your ticket in advance. Otherwise, be prepared to face the endless lines.<\/p>\n There are so many amazing restaurants, cafes and pubs there. They surely suit all tastes and budgets. And do not forget the gardens! Windsor has gardens that have different seasonal displays. If you are visiting Windsor in the summer, pay a visit to the Summer Gardens or to the Summer Wood in the Savill Garden<\/a>. You can’t miss the cherries in the Savill Garden if you are visiting in the autumn. Also you can’t miss the magnolias in the Valley Gardens in spring. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n This beautiful city is located only 2 hours away from London by train. You can get tickets from \u00a330 (including the return) from Waterloo<\/a>.<\/p>\n Bournemouth<\/a> has seven miles of sands and sparkling sea that you can enjoy especially in the summer. Also, it\u00a0hosts the Bournemouth Air Festival<\/a>, which normally takes place in August. What an incredible air display festival!\u00a0There also a wide range of choices of fresh seafood, delicious pork and lamb. Plus a vibrant atmosphere that will steal your heart!<\/p>\n If you appreciate visiting small galleries and funky shops, as well as having incredible fresh seafood and relaxing on the beach… well, Folkestone<\/a> is my recommendation for you. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n It takes around 1 hour to get there and you can get a train ticket from \u00a318 (including the return) from Victoria Station or St Pancras<\/a>.\u00a0I really recommend you to have a beautiful coffee at Steep Street Coffee House and lunch at the Red Cow. You won’t be disappointed.<\/p>\n Stratford-upon-Avon<\/a> is the Shakespeare’s birthplace, where you can not only visit his house, but also incredible venues such as the romantic Anne Hathaway’s cottage and Mary Arden’s farm.<\/p>\n You can get train tickets for less than \u00a315 (including the return) and it takes around 2 hours to get there.\u00a0I would recommend the Vesuvio Caffe to enjoy a nice hot chocolate and the The Garrick Inn pub to have a nice lunch.\u00a0If you have time, do visit the Royal Shakespeare Company & Theatres<\/a> and try the sightseeing cruises that run daily. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n The last but not least lovely city recommended is Cambridge<\/a>, which is one of the most beautiful historic cities in England indeed.\u00a0There are some train tickets that cost less than \u00a315. It is an amazing opportunity to visit astonishing museums and galleries, and explore the college buildings.\u00a0If you are a “foodie” like me, you might find irresistible some food and wine experiences<\/a> that Cambridge provides. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n While visiting these cities, if you decide to stay overnight by any chance… well, I wouldn’t blame you! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" You will probably find out that London is one of the loveliest cities in the world at some point.\u00a0But there are also some astonishing places you can reach from this incredible city which are absolutely affordable.
