This famous tourist town has 11 km of beautiful beaches. Last year, 10,000 tourists
visited this beautiful town. It’s the perfect place to go swimming or sailing. There are
lots of lovely parks and gardens to visit and it’s a great place to eat out. You can also go
to a classical(古典的) concert or go dancing in one of the nightclubs.
Alford
Deep in the Lincolnshire countryside is the pleasant market town of Alford. It is
known for its five-sailed windmill (风车). Have a walk around this lovely old place
and you will see many pleasant houses from as far back as the 17th century. Captain
James Smith, who was one of the founders of Jamestown in Virginia, USA, was
educated in Alford.
Bath
Most people come here to see the 2,000-year-old Roman Baths. But this city is
also famous for its beautiful 18th century buildings and was the home of the writer
Jane Austen. You can learn about her life at the Jane Austen Centre near Queen’s
Square. In the past, Bath was also popular with the royal family and Queen Elizabeth I
spent one or two weeks every year here.
