Brussels, Ghent, Bruges, Exeter & Cornwall

Our trip to the UK this year was to attend our daughter's graduation at the University of Exeter. We decided to visit Brussels since we could take the Eurostar to Brussels from London. We then went to Cornwall from Exeter as it is near the south western tip of England.
