Hello, Mr. Cornwell.

My husband and I have been greatly enjoying the Saxon Tales. I, in particular, love historical places and enjoy historical fiction. I’ve looked online for tours that visit locations mentioned in your book–a Cornwell or Uhtred tour if you will. Alas, I have not found a one. I wish I lived in Britain because then I would design one (or so I imagine).

Last September we took a short trip of our own devising and we visited Holy Island (saw the carving of the monks carrying St.Cuthbert), walked around the base of immense Bebbanburg (how we call Bamburgh), bits of Hadrian’s Wall & Roman forts, the Cathedral at Dunham (of course, Durham, where we saw another carving of the monks carrying St Cuthbert as we walked from the hotel to the Cathedral), a very short visit to York &the Jorvik Centre. We had great fun but the driving was really so stressful. We’d still like to go south and west to visit much of Wessex, Chester, & look for that marshy area to the east of London (the name escapes me) where Uhtred led the saxons over the well protected fort of the danes. But we cannot make this circuit without a car. Alas.

I imagine with all your travels you probably have become friendly with people in the travel industry. Perhaps you might pass on my wish for a tour for Uhtred/Saxon Tales fans? What fun excursions these could be!

Thanks so much for the enjoyable reads.

All my best to you.
