My sister Carol and I visited the UK in September 2011 to visit our roots in both Wales and Northumberland. We had some very interesting and rewarding personal contacts, saw some attractive places and visited at least ten graveyards in our search for our ancestors. Among the interesting sites were Tintern Abbey and Aberglasney Gardens in Wales, the black and white buildings in Chester, the spectacular Minster in York, the coastline of Northumberland including Holy Island and the remains of Hadrian's Wall.
