In Belfast

West Country
Susan heads for the West Country, and travels from Bath to the village of Cheddar, before meandering through the medieval city of Wells and ending her road trip in Weston-super-Mare. Along the way she meets a Jane Austen aficionado who is happy to provide some fitting period costume and all the gossip behind that era, takes in the astonishing 400-foot-high cliffs of the Cheddar Gorge and is challenged to a game of skittles.
Kent

She also takes a look round Chatham and its historic dockyard, which, as it turns out, is home to not only the world's only working Victorian Ropery, but also Britain's only female master rope maker.
