Dear Mr. Cornwell,

Not since Harry Potter have I been so restless in waiting for a novel to release. I have, for a long time, wanted to visit England for its history and historical places. I am traveling to England in September and have decided to follow the trails of Uhtred instead of the well worn tourist path. While I am preparing my list from the 9 books so far, can I ask for your recommendation of places one should not miss when on Uhtred’s Trails?  Also can I bother you to tell me exact location you had in mind and if they still exist from my below list?

I will go to the castle of Bamburgh, Cannington Hills,  Bratton Castle. I am not sure where, if any, of the plaques / castles / monuments related to Alfred the Great, by extension of our beloved Uhtred, are present in York, Benfleet, Durham, London and Tettenhall?

Hope you could spare a few minutes and guide me in the right direction.

Regards
