One of the most obvious places to go is Windsor Castle (and the small town
of Windsor) which is between Reading and Heathrow Airport.   You might also
like to try Henley on Thames and also Hampton Court.   The gardens at Kew
(one of the homes of the Royal Horticultural Society) are great for taking
flower photographs, particularly in the Orchid House etc.   Going east there
is the Tropical Rainforest (in a super large greenhouse) just outside of
Newbury, and between the two are the canals at various locations (including
Newbury) where you can photograph the very colourful canal boats.   Further
away there are the towns of Winchester (cathedral and old town) and
Salisbury (cathedral and Stonehenge near by, coupled with Wilton House
whilst you are in the area.)

If you care to email me privately I will give you my telephone numbers so
that I may be able to help you more specifically nearer the time.

Have a good trip!

Gerry
