Rick Steves on a lively 21/2-hour romp through England and the UK in five half-hour "Rick Steves' Europe" TV shows. 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 new British Library roll with the drums at the Changing of the Guard and cruise the Thames to Kew Gardens. 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. After bantering with Beefeaters at the Tower of London we do some riverside beach-combing along the Thames from the Tate Modern to the dizzying London Eye.South England: Dover to Lands' End: From the white cliffs of Dover to Land's End we ponder Roman Norman and threatened Nazi invasions. After exploring Admiral Nelson's flagship we chase wild ponies and discover an ancient stone circle. For refreshment it's cream tea and Cornish pasties.Heart of England and South Wales: After King Arthur country at Glastonbury we go 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.Scotland's Islands and Highlands: In Scotland legends of Bonnie Prince Charlie swirl with pipers and kilts around crumbling castles. After tossing a caber (log) at a Scottish clan gathering we remember Highland massacres. We play hide-and-seek with the Loch Ness Monster tour a whiskey distillery and take a ferry to sacred Iona.
