For various reasons, I will get to use a reasonable amount of my annual leave just for me this year.

I live in London but want to devote one working week to literary pursuits. All ideas very welcome. I’ve done a lot of British Library/pottering about Bloomsbury but not averse to a day doing that. Keen to visit Westminster Abbey for Poets’ Corner. I’ll need to do everything by public transport. Hit me with your ideas along with food recommendations.

I am planning a few weekends as well. High on my list is:

Dorset - Jane Austen, Hardy
Devon/Cornwall - Agatha Christie, Daphne du Maurier

Harrogate for the Literary Festival - easy travel from London.

Howarth - Brontes
Hay on Wye - full of book shops
Stratford upon Avon - Shakespeare

This sounds like my idea of fun! I'd like to visit Whitby and do some Dracula tourism.

Apologies for my appalling sentence structure.
