Northwest England
Rick Steves' Europe: Episode # 108C
Rick and his family head to Ironbridge Gorge — the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution — and Blackpool, a beach town with neon night life. A scenic drive takes us to the calm Cumbrian Lake District — home to Wordsworth's cottage, hearty walks and sheep shearing. We end in the Norman cathedral at Durham, enjoying its Evensong service.
