While being in the land of Alcyone you should have some activities to do when the weather is not as good as you want, assuming you already have your good addresses for exhibits and pub (although it is often easier to prove the case, since it pays), Today I will suggest another experience, suitable for those who like to browse the centuries old shelves and do not care too much about the dangers of dust. The historical tour of the library is the place for you, a great way to visit the country and admire its architecture, antique shops because often these houses are set in Hansel and Gretel.
The site of Velvet Scape offers us a first handful of ideas to consider while we are planning our itinerary (train maybe?) It is absolutely a must to visit the library St.Ives in the village of the same name in Cornwall, Blackwell Bookshop Oxford, the legendary Booka Bookshop which is also a Cafe in Oswestry in Shropshire (according to the Independent it is among the 50 most beautiful libraries in England), The Society Club which is also an art gallery with a bar and it is also dog-friendly, the old Sam Read Book Shop in the wonderful village of Grasmere (pictured above, in the Lake District) and Browsers Bookshop & Cafe in Woodbridge in Suffolk, where before you go you must try at least one of the homemade desserts of his Café.
