In episode 116 of the UK Travel Planning Podcast, Tracy welcomes back Heather Welday, who previously appeared in our 100th celebratory episode. Heather shares an in-depth report of her family’s June 2024 trip to England, packed with valuable insights and travel inspiration.

Heather, hailing from Southern California, travelled with her husband and two children, staying in an apartment just four doors from Shakespeare’s birthplace in Stratford-upon-Avon. Discover Heather's favourite souvenir, which Tracy now plans to collect herself. Heather also discusses their itinerary, which included London, Oxford, Stratford-upon-Avon, and Bath, and their choice to use public transportation throughout their trip.

Heather highlights the resources she found most helpful, including the UK Travel Planning Podcast and the Facebook group. She recounts her favourite experiences, like the Verger Tour at Westminster Abbey and being the first visitor at Stonehenge. She also shares their challenges, including travel disruptions and her husband falling ill.

Food enthusiasts will enjoy Heather's rave reviews of the meal deals from Marks & Spencer and her favorite pub meals. She also provides packing tips, emphasizing the importance of traveling light and being prepared for the UK’s unpredictable weather.

Heather wraps up with practical advice for first-time UK travellers, particularly the importance of booking tickets for popular attractions early.
