I went North and was going to take a lot of pictures - but never put in the effort, so I only came back with maybe a handful.

The old cemetery from the back of the old St. Mary's church in Woburn:

Image

And a look at the countryside taken from the cemetery:

Image

Woburn Safari Park. Hm. We elected not to stay as I found it far too expensive - £20 per person for the safari park and £13.50 per person for the Abbey and gardens (and no photography inside the House!). We drove back the way we came instead, finding the whole thing just too deer. Still, we got two photos of deer on the way in though:

We moved on to the town of Buckingham then, and we were confronted by never-ending multitude of these signs in the car park. They hammered this message home to a ludicrous degree, especially when you consider that it's actually quite cheap to park there (first hour is free of charge).

Here's the pay and display sign:

Image

And a bit of the car park (complete with Audi A4):

Image

And a bit of the outdoor shopping arcade complex, complete with flowerbeds and a Union Jack surrounding the small shops and businesses:

Image

A patriotic shop window here, showcasing their red, white and blue wool in the British style alongside two Union Jacks:

Some more?

Buckingham High Street, with Buckingham's Old Gaol in the background:

Image

An off-licence (also specialising in African and Asian spices) and a sweet shop amongst other businesses here in the centre of Buckingham:

Image

Another shot of the Old Gaol. This building acts as a museum (although you have to pay a fee for entry) and the town's tourist information centre:

Image

Buckingham's main post office in the High Street:

Image

The front of the Old Gaol building with the name sign and Union Jack bunting:

Image

It was market day on the day we came to Buckingham. Here's a shot of said market. You'll notice in the top right of the photo there is a pub sign. The next photo will show that sign in more detail:

Image

And the pub sign for The Whale, which is a Fuller's house. Didn't get to go in, mind:
