Last Minute Sales & Specials

All 8 half-hour "Rick Steves' Europe" TV shows on England and Wales, filmed entirely on location, are together on a single DVD. Here's where we'll take you... "London: Mod and Trad": We check out the new (the Millennium Bridge and the British Museum's Great Court), and admire the old (well-wrapped mummies and a rare Leonardo). Then we do some riverside beachcombing along the Thames, from the Tate Modern to the dizzying London Eye; "London: Royal and Rambunctious": We whisper secrets across the dome of St. Paul's Cathedral and eat our way through Soho. Then we check out the treasures of the British Library, roll with the drums at the Changing of the Guard, and cruise to Kew Gardens; "Great Side Trips from London": After a double-decker bus tour of London, we visit the Tate Gallery, the reconstructed Globe Theatre and Churchill's Cabinet War Rooms. Then Rick's family joins us for day trips to Stratford, Warwick Castle, Cambridge and York; "Northwest England": Rick and his family head to Ironbridge Gorge - the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution - and the beach town of Blackpool. A scenic drive takes us to the calm Cumbrian Lake District. We end our journey with a traditional Evensong service in the Norman cathedral at Durham; "South England: Dover to Lands' End": Hugging the coast, we ponder Roman, Norman, and threatened Nazi invasions. After exploring Admiral Nelson's ship, we chase wild ponies across the moors and discover an ancient stone circle. Then it's time for cream tea and Cornish pasties; "Heart of England and South Wales": Beginning our time travel in King Arthur country at Glastonbury, we go further back in time to prehistoric Stonehenge. We sample hard apple cider in Wells, meet an eccentric lord in the Cotswolds, and visit an evocative ruined abbey in South Wales; "North Wales: Feisty and Poetic": North Wales is a poem written in landscape.
