Check your local public television station for this Rick Steves’ Europe episode or watch it on: https://www.ricksteves.com/watch-read.... The quintessence of charming England is the “West Country”: quaint Cotswold villages with their fine churches, manor homes, and gastropubs; Wells, England’s smallest cathedral town; and the New Age capital of Glastonbury, with its legends of the Holy Grail and King Arthur. We'll finish by pondering the dramatic prehistoric stone circles of Stonehenge and Avebury.

I joined my film crew in Munich this year for Oktoberfest — the last festival we’re filming for our “Europe’s Top Ten Festivals” special that will air on public television in 2017. Oktoberfest goes for 16 straight days, usually starting on the third Saturday in September. Here are some thoughts and a few tips after my visit this week: http://blog.ricksteves.com/blog/octob....

I always find Tintagel Castle, on the rugged coast in Southwest England, evocative and brooding...especially in gloomy weather. It’s amazing to me that way back in the sixth century, people could have chosen this godforsaken bluff on a desolate coastline, so far from anything, to build a mighty castle...but they did. Was it the legendary King Arthur? We’ll never know. But it’s fun to imagine. (BTW, we’ve had a string of rainy days, and one thing I’ve noticed is that English vacationers don’t let a little bad weather get in the way of their fun. I’ve nicknamed them "armadillo tourists.")

This is Day 76 of my 100 Days in Europe series. As I research my guidebooks and make new TV shows, I’m reporting on my experiences and lessons learned in Vienna, the Alps, the Low Countries, England, and beyond. Find more on my travel blog at http://blog.ricksteves.com.

We include half the dinners on Rick Steves Europe Tours, and for the other dinners, we set people free to enjoy meals on their own. That means we can dine in smaller places where larger groups can’t fit. One of my Venice favorites is Luca’s Osteria alle Testiere. Luca is a classic quality restaurateur — look at the joy on his face as he describes the vintners who produce his carefully chosen wines as friends, and then how he cuddles up with his beloved wine drawers. The challenge of dining in Venice is finding a quality, personality-driven restaurant. It can be done, but you need a good tour guide or a good guidebook. Buon appetito!

Dropping in on the Land’s End Farm, we visited with Roger Wilkins — whose enthusiasm for cider is in itself intoxicating. After a long day of making new TV shows, we had a riot filming Roger and his impromptu scrumpy pub.
