How to go there
 

May 17th to May 31st we will be visiting the UK and Ireland. In 13 days we would like to see Bath and the Cotswolds as well as South Wales. What other suggestions to see with London as last stop before returning home. We would like a bit of Ireland and Scotland if possible, but do not know if that would be taking too much. We would like to rent--by the week, or partial. Any suggestions would greatly be appreciated. Thanks.

Just to warn you that May 31 weekend is a Bank Holiday weekend in the UK and also the Queens Jubilee Weekend so I would book the last portion of your trip first.

I suspect that you would get more answers with a more specific title.

A better title would help since you could be asking "how to go ANYWHERE?"<BR><BR>But to answer you questions - wee need a lot more information to be able to help you much. What are you interested in, etc.<BR><BR>You start out fine - 14 days for London, Bath, the Cotswolds and S. Wales. Very good choices for a short vacation - BUT Then you fall into the trap many visitors do - trying to squeeze in too much. Yes - squeezing in Ireland and Scotland would be too much.<BR><BR>If you have 14 days, you could rent a cottage in the southern Cotswolds for a week and from there be within an hour or 90 minutes drive of both Bath and South Wales. Few cottages rent for partial weeks except in the winter offseason. A week would give you time to really get to know the local Cotswold area and also do day trip to Bath and Chepstow/Tintern, etc. <BR><BR>Then you could go somewhere else for a couple of days and spend the last 5 in London. OR better yet, spend the last seven days in London - there would be more than enough to fill the time and you could do one or two short day trips out of the city (Windsor or Canterbury or Hampton Court, etc.)
