A Literary Tour of Britain This is a longer literary tour of Britain that we designed for a college group from New Jersey, incorporating a list of visits that they requested. As well as including visits to the landscapes of a wide selection of Britain's writers, it visits the three mainland British countries - England, Scotland and Wales.
