10 of Britain's most fascinating literary landmarks

Here, from VisitBritain, are ten must see literary destinations to add to your bucketlist. Click on the link at the bottom for details. I've attended a play at The Globe, which was riveting. The action on stage was so absorbing that I didn't even notice standing on a hard concrete floor for three hours. A modern day groundling. And Dylan Thomas's Wales was beautiful, atmospheric, poetic in fact. Love his writing shed overlooking the Taf estuary in Laugharne. Even got up to Hay-on-Wye with all of its photogenic bookstores. As for the rest? Plenty to look forward to!
