Of course I do not pretend in the few suggestions I have made in this chapter to have named a fraction of the points of interest that we did not visit—­only the ones which appealed to me most when I had become more familiar with Britain.  I only offer these few comments to show how much more might have been compassed in the space of a week or two, leaving out Ireland, John O’ Groats, and the Isles of Wight and Man.  One week would have given ample time for us to include the places I have enumerated.  In planning a tour, individual taste must be a large element.  What will please one may not appeal so strongly to another.  Still, I am sure that the greater part of the route which we covered and which I have tried to outline will interest anyone who cares enough to give the time and money necessary to tour Britain.
