	Holme Pack-horse bridge. Dating from 1664 situated on the outskirts of Bakewell in Derbyshire. Ashlar gritstone. Narrow bridge with 5 segmental arches and cutwaters which rise as pedestrian retreats; offset band beneath parapet of deeply-coursed blocks with single-chamfered copings.		Bibury is situated in the Gloucestershire Cotswolds on the River Coln 9 miles from the market town of Burford. One of the village's main tourist spots and overlooking a water meadow and the river is Arlington Row, a group of ancient cottages with steeply pitched roofs dating back to the 16th Century.
	Bolsover Castle a romantic residence built by Sir Charles Cavendish in 1612 and completed by his son William. Marvel at the outstanding craftsmanship everywhere - the rich panelling, elaborate fireplaces and painted ceilings. Enjoy the glorious enclosed garden. The structure known as the 'Little Castle' is shown here.		The Hampton Court Pond Gardens. One of three sunken gardens which were originally ornamental ponds, used for holding freshwater fish until they were needed in the kitchens for cooking. Today they contain impressive displays of spring and summer bedding.
	The Tulip Festival at RHS Harlow Carr Harrogate. It is well worth taking time out for a relaxing stroll this Spring around RHS Harlow Carr Gardens where more than 25,000 tulips will be on show in an amazingly colourful display.		This garden at Sezincote surrounds a fine house built to encompass Indian character in 1810. It is reminiscent of the Brighton Dome. The Indian influence is seen in the garden and the drive that goes over an Indian Bridge with statues of bulls.
	Welford-on-Avon is 4 miles downstream from Stratford-upon-Avon. The pretty village is situated south of the river which meanders around it in a large loop. There is an attractive mixture of timber and thatch, stone and brick buildings. The distinctive maypole has been on the village green since Shakespear's time.		The National Railway Museum at York. The most wonderful display of both historic and still running locomotives one could wish to see under one gigantic train shed roof.
