Northwest England

Narrated by Rick Steves

30 minutes; European Travel Guide

Rick brings his family along to enjoy the diversity of north England. They visit Ironbridge Gorge—the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution—and Blackpool, a high energy beach town with neon night life, vintage trolly cars, ballroom dancing and a world-class roller coaster. A scenic drive takes us to the calm Cumbrian Lake District where we enjoy B&Bs, Wordsworth’s cottage, hearty walks and sheep shearing. Finally, we explore the Norman cathedral at Durham for its magnificent architecture and Evensong service.
