One thing we have been working on here at BYRGA GENIHT is reinstating the Grand Tour of England. Popular among mainland Europeans for centuries, the route spans the country from Essex to Shropshire, and visitors were interested to see an independent Anglican state, its architectural treasures, and in time the birth of industrialisation.

We are delighted to see that the Shropshire Star has picked up the torch to bring the Grand Tour back to public attention.
