Round here: tourism within 45 minutes of Travel Weekly
July 24, 2008
We're are always writing about destinations in the travel blogosphere, and rightly so. But what would a tourist map of your own area look like?
Travel Weekly lives where London blurs into Surrey, so we have city attractions to the north and stately homes, parks and such to the south (and the same in Kent, off to the east).
I've picked out a few of the sights and attractions near TW Towers on a map (we're the red pin)...
- Richmond Park (7 miles northwest) - the biggest Royal Park in London, at 2,500 acres
- London Wetlands Centre (8 miles north) - oystercatchers, egrets and plovers... in London?
- Chessington World of Adventures (6 miles west) - a family theme park and zoo
- Hampton Court Palace (7 miles northwest) - former royal palace and gardens
- Box Hill (9 miles southwest) - beauty spot with panoramic views, near Dorking
It'd be great to see some other travel bloggers pick this up - so tagging Darren at Travel Rants, Kevin at Travolution, Guillaime at Hotel Blogs and the guys at Tracking Tourism.

He he - seems exactly the kind of thing the guys at Tracking Tourism should be doing on a sunny Friday afternoon :-)
