When visiting a country as vast and as beautiful as Britain, it’s easy to get caught up in the country’s magnificent sites, rich history, and fascinating culture. But we want to encourage you to include time for sampling some of the country’s best cuisine on your next trip to England. They say when you visit a new place to ask the locals where they like to eat and it’s best to go to the destinations loved by the locals instead of hitting the touristy hot spots. So without further ado, here are 5 can’t-miss destinations from “<a href="https://www.dabl.com/talkback-thames/escape-country" target="_blank">Escape to the Country</a>” where you’ll be able to eat like a local!

<h2>1.) Cornish Fish At Watergate Bay:</h2>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-entity-type="node" data-ctd-entity-uuid="581ce5df-0a71-443a-9d6c-8f0a868cf40e" data-ctd-shortcode-id="video" data-ctd-view-mode="full">&nbsp;</div>

When you visit Cornwall, you’ll find a rich fishing history with a focus on sustainability. Our host pays a visit to one of Cornwall’s busiest fishing docks where she is introduced to a type of fish called Megrim Sole, or Cornish Sole as it’s been lovingly nicknamed. She then continues her journey to Watergate Bay in Cornwall to learn how this flaky, white fish is best prepared and samples some of this mild, yet tasty fish for herself. If you’re feeling inspired to dine or stay at Cornwall’s Watergate Bay, <a href="https://www.watergatebay.co.uk/" target="_blank">learn more and make your reservation here</a>!&nbsp;

<h2>2.) Traditional Cream Tea In Devon:&nbsp;</h2>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-entity-type="node" data-ctd-entity-uuid="def26e82-b3d7-488e-9301-b609833410dd" data-ctd-shortcode-id="video" data-ctd-view-mode="full">&nbsp;</div>

There is much debate as to who invented Cream Tea, but Devonshire County definitely believes it was first and has been running a campaign to get European protected status on its version. The essential ingredient is clotted cream and the key is to put the cream on a freshly baked scone with jam on top. The cream must always be applied before the jam, or else it wouldn’t be a traditional Devonshire Cream Tea. Make sure to pay a visit to Devonshire County on your next trip to England to have an authentic cream tea experience for yourself!&nbsp;

<h2>3.) Oysters In Porlock Bay:&nbsp;</h2>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-entity-type="node" data-ctd-entity-uuid="50719f86-bd50-4a48-81ca-02eac85c72b4" data-ctd-shortcode-id="video" data-ctd-view-mode="full">&nbsp;</div>

Porlock Bay is located within the Exmoor Region and is commonly known as the home of the oyster throughout the United Kingdom. Oysters were so popular in this coastal town during the 19th century, that overfishing decimated the natural oyster population. Now, a community effort has begun to reintroduce oysters back into the waters of this coastal town. Our host pays a visit to Porlock Bay to hear more about the initiative to reinvigorate the oyster population and learns interesting secrets about oyster harvesting. For example, did you know it takes each batch of oysters 3 years to grow? Then, our host gets to taste a raw oyster. Judging by his excited reaction, fresh oysters from Porlock Bay must be more than delicious enough to warrant a trip.&nbsp;

<h2>4.) Asparagus In The Cotswolds:&nbsp;</h2>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-entity-type="node" data-ctd-entity-uuid="6885befa-54c4-42b8-b4b8-dd9a5be992c6" data-ctd-shortcode-id="video" data-ctd-view-mode="full">&nbsp;</div>

Cotswold is a region that is serious about its asparagus. Every year on St. George’s Day, the <a href="http://www.britishasparagusfestival.co.uk/the-asparagus/nationalasparagusday/" target="_blank">region holds a festival at the National Trust’s Bretforton pub, The Fleece</a>, to celebrate the start of the 8-week asparagus growing season. The festival includes elaborate displays of Morris Dancing to bless the coming harvest, a fortune teller dressed like asparagus, a themed mascot, and appearances by St. George himself! When the celebration is over, the real work begins in the fields of the asparagus farms, such as the one visited by our host.&nbsp;

During the asparagus season, you can also sample the Asparamenu offered by the Tea Room at the Wayside Farm Shop. The creators of the menu have reinvented how asparagus is used by including it in every course of their cream tea, such as in the scones and jam. You can experience this unique cream tea experience during the Springtime by <a href="https://waysidefarmshop.com/tea-room/" target="_blank">contacting the Wayside Farm Shop to book a reservation here</a>.&nbsp;

<h2>5.) Cromer Crabs In Norfolk:&nbsp;</h2>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-entity-type="node" data-ctd-entity-uuid="832cb050-8dd1-46d1-b170-a5eb1fe345bb" data-ctd-shortcode-id="video" data-ctd-view-mode="full">&nbsp;</div>

Cromer Crabs, which are named after Cromer Village located on the Northern coast of Norfolk, are widely regarded as some of the best of the best. Although these crabs are on the smaller side, they are fully meated and known to possess a sweet and juicy flavor that is out of this world. Even the gender of the crabs can impact how they taste! On this episode of “Escape to the Country,” our host had an exclusive opportunity to learn the ins and outs of potting for Cromer Crabs and even got to taste a freshly caught crab!

Escape to the Country

Our Favorite Destinations From “Escape to the Country” Where You Can Eat Like A Local! 

Anyone else getting wanderlust from watching “<a href="https://www.dabl.com/talkback-thames/escape-country" target="_blank">Escape to the Country</a>”? We’ve been dreaming about visiting Europe and escaping our daily routine. Currently, Americans are not able to travel to most of Europe, and while there is hope that this will change soon, we’re ready for a trip now! So, we’ve found 7 destinations a bit closer to home&nbsp;that feel like Europe. No international flights needed, yet these cities will make you feel like you’re in a completely different world.

<h2>Feel Like You’re in Denmark in Solvang, California</h2>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-entity-type="media" data-ctd-entity-uuid="bc8fad4a-3607-4e99-9693-93e4f89dd119" data-ctd-shortcode-id="image" data-ctd-view-mode="content_full">&nbsp;</div>

Located within Santa Barbara wine country, Solvang is “a little slice of Denmark in Southern California.” The small village is decorated for Christmas all year round, and every morning you can smell the fresh Danish pastries like aebleskiver (a Danish dessert similar to donut holes) being baked. This small town has several souvenir shops that sell authentic Danish gifts, like wooden shoes and cuckoo clocks. And yes, there’s a windmill.

<h2>Feel Like You’re in Spain St. Augustine, Florida</h2>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-entity-type="media" data-ctd-entity-uuid="59db55fd-2261-420e-bfcc-56aef925f1ea" data-ctd-shortcode-id="image" data-ctd-view-mode="content_full">&nbsp;</div>

This coastal city in Florida was settled in the 1500s by Spanish explorers, which explains the architecture reminiscent of the streets of Madrid. This is America’s oldest city, and you can feel it’s European flavor with centuries-old buildings, horse-drawn carriages, hidden courtyards and Spanish cuisine. To fully experience the Spanish heritage, walk along Aviles Street in the historic downtown district and visit Castillo de San Marcos, the oldest masonry fort in the continental US, which was built to protect and defend Spain’s claims in the New World.

<h2>Feel Like You’re in Germany in Leavenworth, Washington</h2>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-entity-type="media" data-ctd-entity-uuid="9b986b29-b65d-4a43-8a3e-6e581ae0080f" data-ctd-shortcode-id="image" data-ctd-view-mode="content_full">&nbsp;</div>

Nestled in the foothills of the Cascade Mountain Region, you’ll find yourself in this Bavarian village that could easily be mistaken for Germany. Find shops and restaurants with all the classics - bratwurst, wienerschnitzel, and of course, German beer! Visit the Nutcracker Museum and enjoy an alp horn serenade every morning as horns ring out from the balcony of the Enzian Inn. Summer is a great time to visit and plan ahead for 2022, because of course, this town celebrates with its own Oktoberfest!

<h2>Feel Like You’re in France in New Orleans, Louisiana</h2>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-entity-type="media" data-ctd-entity-uuid="57c1203b-b13c-4131-9992-cad42843b595" data-ctd-shortcode-id="image" data-ctd-view-mode="content_full">&nbsp;</div>

Aspects of New Orleans’ French-inspired heritage are still strongly present amongst the culture, language and cuisine in the city. Visit the aptly named French Quarter, step into Saint Louis Cathedral, which is the oldest cathedral in the US, and indulge in some French-Creole cuisine. Visit soon and experience the 2021 New Orleans Wine &amp; Food Experience from June 9-13.&nbsp;

<h2>Feel Like You’re in Switzerland in New Glarus, Wisconsin</h2>

Visit “America’s Little Switzerland” in Green County, Wisconsin. This village was established in 1845 as a colony of Swiss immigrants. Its alpine style is showcased in its Swiss chalet-style architecture and culture. Indulge in some Swiss chocolate sold throughout the town and dine on an authentic Swiss meal at New Glarus Hotel Restaurant. Partake in the “Cow Parade” &nbsp;to find all 16 painted cows placed throughout the town. This was inspired by a similar cow parade at the Zurich airport.

<h2>Feel Like You’re in Norway in Thief River Falls, Minnesota</h2>

About half of the residents in this town are of Norwegian descent, and they take great pride in their heritage. Visit Peder Engelstad Pioneer Village which was recreated to look like the town’s early Norwegian settlement. Feel like you’ve gone back in time as you check out places like the schoolhouse, blacksmith shop and the church. The town will hold its Norwegian Heritage Week Festival next week featuring live performances and authentic food, and due to COVID, some virtual events, as well.

<h2>Feel Like You’re in England in Cape Cod, Massachusetts</h2>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-entity-type="media" data-ctd-entity-uuid="4738b643-390d-485b-81ba-fad42c62eedb" data-ctd-shortcode-id="image" data-ctd-view-mode="content_full">&nbsp;</div>

Visit Cape Cod and the gorgeous coastline will remind you of the ones seen in “Escape to the Country,” particularly in the town of Cornwall. Just like Cornwall, Cape Cod is a seaside town, so delicious seafood is abundant. For the quintessential New England character, visit Sandwich, one of Cape Cod’s oldest towns. Stroll the quaint shops and elegant colonial homes, or spend the day at the beach. Lying on the beach in Cape Cod will feel as though you’ve just traveled to Godrevy Beach in Cornwall.

7 Stateside Cities That Feel Like European Escapes

Sunglasses are the ultimate summer accessory! Not only do they look great, but protecting your eyes from the harsh UV rays of the sun is important to your overall health and wellbeing. <a href="https://www.fda.gov/consumers/consumer-updates/tips-stay-safe-sun-sunscreen-sunglasses?gclid=Cj0KCQjw8O-VBhCpARIsACMvVLMW5yRv9TJSRf12ZO-xexPEamR5g0tHj6FfTlUlRv3LKN9Z86NDahUaAqgYEALw_wcB" target="_blank">Wearing sunglasses has been associated with</a> helping people look younger for longer and preventing skin cancer and harm to your eyes, which can result in irreparable vision damage. Since our eyes are naturally sensitive to light, sunglasses can help reduce headaches and migraines triggered by bright light and glare.

<a href="https://www.vsp.com/eyewear-wellness/lasik-glasses-lenses/polarized-sunglasses-uv-sunglasses" target="_blank">Polarized lenses</a> in particular are awesome for getting rid of headache-inducing glare and making it easier to see in bright light without squinting. Polarized sunglasses tend to be favorites for many outdoor athletes, such as watersports enthusiasts and runners. That said, not all polarization is the same. You have to pick the right type of polarization for your needs. According to an <a href="https://nypost.com/article/best-polarized-sunglasses-per-optometrist/?utm_source=facebook&amp;utm_medium=news_tab" target="_blank">article in The New York Post</a>, there are five different types of polarization. The article explained the differences as:&nbsp;

Rose: Increases contrast and may reduce the risk of the onset of a migraine headache

Yellow: Absorbs blue light and may reduce eye fatigue, strain, and headaches

Gray: Has a neutral density filter that allows all colors to pass through evenly

Brown: Improves contrast, makes greens and browns brighter, good for slightly cloudy days

Green: This is a great filter for extreme glare

So, how do you know you’ve found the right pair of sunglasses? While many brands claim to be the best, you want to only buy sunglasses that will actually protect your eyes in addition to being fashionable. You want to make sure your sunglasses have built-in UV protection. <a href="https://healthcare.utah.edu/healthfeed/postings/2018/07/sunglasses.protect.php" target="_blank">Look for labels</a> that say “100% protection against both UVA and UVB” or “100% protection against UV 400.” While UV protection prevents the sun from damaging your eyes, polarization reduces headache-causing glares. While many sunglasses do combine UV protection with polarization, not all do. For maximum benefits and protection, you may want to look for sunglasses that have both. And these seven pairs of sunglasses truly have it all!&nbsp;

7 of The Best Nature Escape In The U.S.

Whether you are moving to a new state or want to bring your dog along for the fun on your next vacation, you will have to be prepared to navigate a slew of complicated policies to allow your pup to travel by your side. From booking air plane tickets to reserving a hotel room, you will likely have to work through more questions and paperwork for your dog to be allowed passage. But when you know what to expect, you and your furry friend can be prepared early for your next trip and avoid unpleasant surprises at the last minute. Therefore, we’re clearing up some confusion on what to expect when you’re at the airport, checking into the hotel, or cruising in your rental car.&nbsp;

<h2>At The Airport:</h2>

Each airline will have specific pet policies regarding which pets may travel and how, as well as booking policies for your pet. While some airlines allow you to reserve your pet’s spot online, others will only accept pets onto the flight on a first come, first serve basis at the airport. Once you choose which airline you will be flying with, make sure to research its specific pet policies so you are clear on requirements and what to expect on the day of travel.&nbsp;

You will also have to decide if your pet will be flying as cargo in a temperature controlled portion of the airplane, or if you want your pup to fly in the main cabin with you. Most people like to keep their pets by their side in the main cabin, but either option is a safe way to transport your beloved fur baby. Depending on the airline and which option you choose, you may need to bring different documents or specific carriers to present at the ticket counter upon check in. For example, some airlines require a recent letter from your vet stating your dog is in good health and proof of certain vaccines, such as rabies. If your dog will be flying with you in the main cabin, many airlines will make your pet your carry-on item and will want your pet to be comfortable staying in a carrier under the seat in front of you. Other airlines have weight requirements for dogs that fly in the main cabin, but that doesn’t mean bigger dogs can never fly. Always check with your specific airline for clarity on requirements and possible exceptions.&nbsp;

Requirements may also vary depending on where you’re going. Some locations, such as Hawaii, require arriving dogs to undergo a period of quarantine before they will be allowed to join you on the island. If you are traveling to a particularly far destination, you may also need to prepare to fly on one or more connecting flights instead of a direct flight if you plan to bring your dog onboard. Many airlines won’t allow dogs to fly in the main cabin on <a href="https://longhaultrekkers.com/how-to-fly-internationally-with-a-dog/#:~:text=When%20flying%20abroad%2C%20your%20dog,flight%20is%20over%208%20hours." target="_blank">flights that will last longer than 8 hours</a> in order to protect their health and allow them to access water and bathroom breaks. That said, you will still likely get chances during the flight to love on your dog and provide water if they are flying with you. If your dog is in cargo, they should be given water and monitored by certified trained staff or a veterinarian for the duration of the flight.&nbsp;

It’s also important to note that unless you are traveling with a service dog, you will likely have to pay a fee to allow your dog to fly with you. The fee isn’t usually more than $100 to $200 each way, but it should be accounted for in your vacation budget. While passengers used to be able to receive discounts or free passage for emotional support animals, that <a href="https://nbc-2.com/news/2021/01/11/rule-cracking-down-on-emotional-support-animals-takes-effect/#:~:text=New%20rule%20cracks%20down%20on%20emotional%20support%20animals%20on%20planes&amp;text=American%20Airlines%20said%20existing%20bookings,cargo%20pets%2C%20the%20company%20said." target="_blank">system was heavily abused by pet owners lying</a> about their pets’ service status to take advantage of the perks. Now, most airlines only grant special privileges, namely the pet’s ability to travel in the main cabin for free, to owners who have legitimate paperwork to show their pup is a working service dog. If you have a service dog, make sure to ask your airline what documents are required at check in.&nbsp;

<h2>Picking Up The Rental Car:&nbsp;</h2>

Getting your dog in a rental car is typically much simpler than putting your dog on a flight. If you choose to do a road trip instead of flying, you may find you save money and can leisurely journey to your destination while stopping for water, stretching, and bathroom breaks as you see fit. However, we wanted to remind you to always read the small print when booking your rental car. Some companies have restrictions in place that won’t allow dogs in the car, or they may charge you an extra pet deposit in addition to the car’s normal cost and deposit. Since a damage deposit is pretty standard, we recommend putting down towels and keeping your pet clean to avoid messes or damage in the back seat that the rental company might charge you for later.&nbsp;

<h2>Checking Into The Hotel:</h2>

Always make sure to <a href="https://www.rover.com/blog/dog-hotel-tips/" target="_blank">clarify all the information before booking a room in a pet-friendly hotel for you and your dog</a>. Make sure you are okay with the hotel’s policies prior to booking your trip. For example, the hotel may forbid your pet from staying in the room alone, so you will need to find a local doggie daycare or be prepared for your dog to accompany you at all times. You may also need to pay a non-refundable pet deposit, sign a pet owner agreement with the hotel, and only take your dog to the areas of the resort where he is permitted. If you have multiple pets traveling with you, make sure to look for policies that specify the maximum amount of pets that can stay in a given room. These rules will vary depending on where you stay.&nbsp;

When booking your hotel room, always be sure that you are booking a pet-friendly room. Some hotels have pet-friendly floors or towers where your dog can be with you. If you don’t book a pet friendly room or note your pup’s attendance on your booking, you could arrive at the hotel only to find out your dog isn’t allowed to stay in your reserved room. Even on a pet friendly floor, you will need to be sure you can trust your dog to behave. Many hotels have a no-tolerance policy for barking and can ask you to leave if your dog is deemed to be a disturbance.&nbsp;

That said, most pet-friendly hotels are full of animal lovers who are eager to make your experience wonderful. Some hotels will give your dogs special treats or water bowls upon arrival, and even have a dog concierge as a featured amenity. As long as you are clear on the hotel’s policies, you shouldn’t have any issues that get in the way of your fun trip!&nbsp;

The Secret To Successfully Traveling With Your Dog 

By: Catie Kovelman, Updated 07/13/2022

If you’re traveling soon, you may be in for a bumpy ride thanks to a phenomenon called revenge travel. During the pandemic, many people had to delay or cancel trips they had been looking forward to taking. So now that the world has found a new normal, Americans are eager to <a href="https://www.blacktomato.com/us/revenge-travel/" target="_blank">“take revenge”</a> on COVID-19 by finally taking those vacations they had to cancel during the pandemic and make up for the lost time. &nbsp;

We saw a surge in revenge travel as restrictions were lifted in 2021, but as we enter the summer vacation season, experts are predicting that revenge travel in 2022 will far outpace last year. According to <a href="https://www.mastercardservices.com/en/reports-insights/economics-institute/travel-trends-2022" target="_blank">data collected by Mastercard</a>, an estimated 1.5 billion more passengers from around the world will be flying this year than they did in 2021. That number includes the approximately 365 million more people in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico who plan to travel in 2021 who didn’t last year.&nbsp;

Naturally, the increase in demand is also leading to skyrocketing prices at the airlines. <a href="https://media.hopper.com/research/hopper-research-dashboard-beta" target="_blank">According to Hopper</a>, there has been a 41% year-over-year increase in the prices of domestic flights and a 22% rise for international flights. Meanwhile, the Bureau of Labor Statistics found that the month-to-month increase for airfares from March to April was a <a href="https://www.marketwatch.com/story/hoping-to-spot-a-cheap-airline-ticket-for-the-summer-good-luck-new-cpi-shows-11652285391?mod=article_inline" target="_blank">record 18.6%</a>. Since April, airfare fees have only continued to rise.&nbsp;

Despite concerns about inflation, eager travelers don’t seem too deterred. In fact, people seem downright eager to spend money to explore and have a good time. A <a href="https://www.creditkarma.com/about/commentary/inflation-eclipses-fears-of-recession-as-top-concern-for-americans-this-summer" target="_blank">survey conducted by Credit Karma</a> found that people are excited to travel soon and are expecting to spend at least $1,000 more on their summer vacation than they normally would. This coincides with additional findings from Mastercard, which showed that global tourist spending on entertainment and food has increased 34% since the pandemic began in 2019.&nbsp;

But if you’re traveling to Europe, you might find that your dollar stretches a lot farther. For the first time since 2002, the U.S. dollar is <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2022/07/12/euro-dollar-trade-parity-travelers/10007133002/" target="_blank">nearly equal in value</a> to the euro. This gives Americans more buying power. According to <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2022/07/12/euro-and-us-dollar-near-parity-heres-what-that-means-for-travelers.html" target="_blank">CNBC</a>, the euro-U.S. dollar parity equates to a 15% discount for Americans shopping in the 19 European Union countries that use the euro.&nbsp;

Speaking of which, where is everyone going? Destination Analysts, a market-research firm for the tourism industry, <a href="https://www.marketwatch.com/story/revenge-travel-started-in-2021-but-its-really-coming-back-with-a-vengeance-in-summer-2022-11653064399?utm_source=facebook&amp;utm_medium=news_tab" target="_blank">polled 4,000 Americans to find out</a>. While some participants were traveling for business or family obligations, the majority reported that they wanted to go to new destinations they had never visited before. There is also a desire to “make up” trips that got canceled or changed because of the pandemic and a preference to visit destinations that don’t have strict COVID-19 regulations in place. Rather than planning trips that are short and close, people seem to be opting for medium or longer trips domestically. Internationally, the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, and other Caribbean-region countries have seen a big spike in American tourism. Overall, there is a general atmosphere of wanderlust and an eagerness for new experiences driving prospective travelers.&nbsp;

This Dance Involves Swords!

A normal, hard day of work pivots into a tragic tell-all when an employee emotionally shares that his daughter was murdered to his disguised CEO. The president and CEO of Johnny Rockets, John Fuller, went undercover at his own company to learn about the employee’s that run the daily operations of this popular burger chain. While on a break with Tony, his mentor for the day, he inquires about his family and personal life.&nbsp;

“I have kids. I actually lost one. My daughter was murdered,” shares Tony.&nbsp;

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-entity-type="media" data-ctd-entity-uuid="93da4a34-e044-4698-a846-3a06a4d102b4" data-ctd-shortcode-id="image" data-ctd-view-mode="content_full">&nbsp;</div>

However, Tony’s sad experience doesn’t end there. He shares that he found out who he thinks the murderer was and decided to go after him.&nbsp;

“I found out who it was, and I took the law in my own hands. And I went out and I assaulted him.”&nbsp;

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-entity-type="media" data-ctd-entity-uuid="48b2ed3f-fc45-4a43-a5d4-3f5c6fc29ac8" data-ctd-shortcode-id="image" data-ctd-view-mode="content_full">&nbsp;</div>

“And I don’t remember much. I blacked out, and by the time I came to I was already going to jail. I really hurt the guy pretty bad.”

The Undercover Boss, John Fuller, continues to be an empathetic listener as Tony shares his harrowing experience of losing his daughter, taking revenge and paying the consequences for his actions.&nbsp;

John goes on to explain Tony’s story and recounts that the case is still believed to be unsolved, but Tony truly believes that he caught the guy who did it.&nbsp;

The emotional employee explains that he went to jail for three years, and upon getting out, spent 3 months sleeping under the boardwalk. While spending time on the boardwalk, he happened upon the owner of the newly-built Johnny Rocket’s restaurant and was offered a job after sharing his tragic story. Tony shares: “I owe him so much for taking me off the street.”

During the reveal, the CEO rewards Tony for his dedication to the job by offering him a fully-paid vacation with his family and also $5,000 to make sure he has a roof over his head for a long time.&nbsp;

Queen Elizabeth II was laid to rest earlier today at Windsor Castle, about 20 miles away from Buckingham Palace, located in London, England. Her coffin made the journey westward after a <a href="https://www.etonline.com/queen-elizabeth-iis-coffin-makes-final-journey-to-windsor-castle-190915" target="_blank">final funeral ceremony today at Westminster Abbey</a>.&nbsp;

Queen Elizabeth II died at her residence in Balmoral, Scotland. She was 96 years old, and reigned as the monarch of the United Kingdom and its commonwealth nations for 70 years.&nbsp;

The Royal Family issued the following statement upon her passing: “The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon. The King and The Queen Consort will remain at Balmoral this evening and will return to London tomorrow.”

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-entity-type="media" data-ctd-entity-uuid="ddf37672-aea1-4bb7-bcb1-8a7872a8670c" data-ctd-shortcode-id="image" data-ctd-view-mode="content_full">&nbsp;</div>

The Queen has been lying-in-state since last week, allowing mourners from all around the country and around the world to pay their respects. It was reported that the line had reached <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/live-blog/live-updates-mourners-still-joining-huge-line-see-queen-world-leaders-rcna48208" target="_blank">5 miles long</a>, causing wait times of up to 13 hours to see the Queen for the final time. &nbsp;

Since her passing, Prince Charles has ascended the throne, taking on the name King Charles. Camila Parker Bowles is now elevated to Queen, and will be known as Queen Consort.&nbsp;

Prince William and Princess Kate became the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall with Charles’ ascension to the throne. This title shift came very swiftly, as it is already being reflected on their <a href="https://twitter.com/KensingtonRoyal" target="_blank">official social accounts</a>.&nbsp;

 
Though Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have stepped down from their senior roles in the Royal Family, their two children, Archie and Lilibet, are eligible for a title change to Prince and Princess respectively due to their connection to the now King Charles III. However, it is still unclear whether Prince Harry and Meghan will accept these titles for their children. &nbsp;

<h3>Where is Windsor Castle?</h3>

Windsor Castle is located in Berkshire County, UK, about 20 miles west of Buckingham Palace. It is said that this was Queen Elizabeth II’s preferred residence - spending most of her weekends at the castle. It is also said that she spent much of her days <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/09/19/world/europe/queen-elizabeth-funeral-windsor-castle.html" target="_blank">during World War II</a> at the castle, and even spent much of the pandemic at the fortress enjoying its grounds on her horse and walking her corgis.&nbsp;

While Windsor Castle is certainly one of Berkshire County’s main attractions, the area is also known for its <a href="https://www.travelaboutbritain.com/berkshire/berkshire.php#:~:text=Berkshire%20is%20known%20for%20its,in%20the%20World%2C%20Windsor%20Castle." target="_blank">sheep farming industry</a>. Also, with its proximity to London and London Heathrow Airport, there is much industry in the area, including <a href="https://www.historic-uk.com/HistoryMagazine/DestinationsUK/HistoricSitesinBerkshire/" target="_blank">Newbury</a>, known as England’s own “Silicon Valley.” Peacefully making its way through the county is also the River Thames, which was once used as a major trade route, but is now enjoyed more as a recreational body of water.&nbsp;

Also of note is the <a href="https://www.westberkshireheritage.org/shaw-house/history-of-the-house" target="_blank">Shaw House</a>, one of the most well-preserved Elizabethan mansions in England, and the <a href="https://www.highclerecastle.co.uk/" target="_blank">Highclere Castle</a>, which is enjoying newfound notoriety for being a oft-used filming location for Downton Abbey.&nbsp;

Where Exactly Is Windsor Castle - Queen Elizabeth II’s Burial Site?

With the passing of Queen Elizabeth II, who served as the monarch for 70 years over the United Kingdom and its commonwealth nations, at 73 years old, Prince Charles immediately becomes king, and he has chosen <a href="https://www.etonline.com/the-royal-family-title-changes-we-can-expect-after-queen-elizabeth-iis-death-190496" target="_blank">King Charles III as his official title</a>. However, the now King Charles III is not the only royal family member to go through a major title change.&nbsp;

<h3>Princess Camilla Parker Bowles</h3>

Not surprisingly, King Charles III's wife, Camila Parker Bowles, will now be elevated to Queen, and will be known as Queen Consort.&nbsp;

<h3>Prince William, Duke of Cambridge &amp; Princess Kate, Duchess of Cambridge&nbsp;</h3>

Prince William and Princess Kate, currently the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, will become the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall with Charles’ ascension to the throne.

Earlier today, the Royal Family and Prime Minister <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/uk/uk-pm-truss-says-country-deeply-concerned-about-queen-elizabeths-health-2022-09-08/" target="_blank">Liz Truss issued statements</a> that the nation was in a state of worry over the Queen’s fading health. She said: “"The whole country will be deeply concerned by the news from Buckingham Palace this lunchtime.”

Flags have been lowered in respect and mourning across the nation, including the flag that sits on top of Buckingham Palace, while other nations, including the United States, has lowered its <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2022/09/08/queen-elizabeth-ii/#link-XTF4GBVNFJDXZA42RF4UJDU77Q" target="_blank">flag at Capitol Hill</a> out of solidarity. &nbsp;

Prince Charles, aged 73, heir to the throne, will step into the role of monarch of the United Kingdom, and will take the name <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-59135132" target="_blank">King Charles III</a>.&nbsp;

The passing of Queen Elizabeth sets off a sequence of other changes in title and standing within the Royal Family, with Charles’ wife Camilla taking on the title of Queen Consort. Prince William, next heir to the throne, is set to inherit King Charles III’s other title: Duke of Cornwall. Catherine will take on the name of Duchess of Cornwall.&nbsp;

Prince Charles will be named King shortly in a ceremony at St. James’ Palace in London.&nbsp;

Her last and more recent trip to her favorite summer getaway had her formally inviting Liz Truss to become Prime Minister.&nbsp;

Balmoral is located in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, and boasts rolling hills, and shares a coastline with the North Sea.&nbsp;

Where Is Balmoral Castle, The Queen’s Residence

Published 07/20/22

If you’re finally taking your dream trip across the pond this summer, you might be in for an unpleasant surprise if you were hoping to enjoy a cooler climate. Although the weather can be a bit unpredictable throughout the U.K., it’s rarely extreme. On average, the temperature usually fluctuates between 48–64 degrees Fahrenheit in England during the summer. But this year is different.&nbsp;

The U.K. has been hit with a massive heat wave. For the first time ever, temperatures <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/live/2022/07/19/world/uk-europe-heat-fires-weather" target="_blank">broke 104 degrees Fahrenheit</a>. In a county where most homes and buildings <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-23341698" target="_blank">do not have air conditioning</a>, Brits have essentially been left to sweat it out until the heat wave passes. While most people are just uncomfortable, some members of the population may be at <a href="https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/britain-extreme-heat-alert-1.6523729" target="_blank">risk of severe illness</a> or death because of the extreme heat. Making matters worse, the high temps have also helped to fuel <a href="https://weather.com/news/news/2022-07-18-europe-heat-wave-britain-france-spain" target="_blank">multiple fires</a> that are currently burning throughout the U.K.&nbsp;

If you’ll be traveling to the U.K. before the heat wave passes, here are some essentials to pack that will help you stay cool.&nbsp;
