My name is David Ford and this site records some of my favorite places and attractions in England, particularly around London And the South East which is where I live. "Places to Go" also includes information on other picturesque areas of the UK including the Cotswolds and the
Derbyshire Peak
district. Every place and attraction has been visited by myself and each is
described in a separate page which includes selected photographs and a concise
narrative with local information and personal impressions. The places described
were visited on holidays or day excursions. This site is complementary to my other to my other two photo collections "A personal tour of Yorkshire" and "Gardens to Go" in the South East of England. The linked images on the right will take you to these sites should you care to view the content.
Although the prime function of these web sites is a showcase for my amateur photographs, I also hope they will provide useful information about the locations and perhaps help you decide if they are the sort of places you would like to visit or perhaps spend a holiday.
Creating these web sites
has become a hobby of mine since taking early retirement in the year 2000, from
my job as an electrical engineer in the Petrochemical and Offshore
industry.The links to the main areas covered by this site are at the top of this home page, these take you to an introduction for the area selected and further links to each place or attraction. This site is non commercial and conveys my personal impressions of the places visited, I hope you may find it useful.
Many of my earlier pictures were taken with a Fuji Finepix 4700 digital camera and later with a Fuji F700. I have now upgraded to a Panasonic DMC-FZ30 8MP with a 12X optical zoom which takes more detailed and sharper images, as can be seen from more recent additions. Be warned with the onset of digital photography there is always a better camera appearing on the horizon.

This web site is being updated and expanded regularly, so please visit again in the future and also call in on my Yorkshire and Gardens sites. Try my "Places Wallpapers" from the Site Links above, I think you will be pleased with the quality. Also send a free E-Card to your friends incorporating a choice of Photographs from this site. Best wishes David Ford Please email me  with any comments or suggestions you may
have. |

| Multimap Search We have included a Multimap search box to assist you in locating places or finding routes. Please enter a place name, address, or postcode in the search box, click the button and see a map on the Multimap site. The search may not always work well with attraction names such as Hever Castle, it prefers a Village or Town name or an address, a postcode is even better as it will highlight the location with a red circle. |
