This itinerary is more of a guideline of where we are going, and the things we "can" do. I know some of the days have a lot of stuff, but we will most likely have to decide what we want to do. Definitely let Ryan or I know if you have suggestions of what's worth or not worth doing. Thanks for all the help so far!

Because I have ran into a wall here due to our 8 day train pass, I have found that with RyanAir if we wanted to we could fly over to Ireland for a couple days from Liverpool, London or Glasgow for £30. We are going to have to do something like this or find another city in the UK to stay in for a couple days.

I've been to the UK before and have just done London a few of the things around London like Stonehenge, Bath and Salisbury but I was curious what everyone thinks about this itinerary I have... I just made it from looking around at other peoples. Any suggestions?
