Artist Scott Waters explains everything you need to know about the country.

Scott Waters, 66, has some helpful tips for anyone traveling to England in the future. The artist and photographer based in St. Augustine, Fla. recently returned to the U.S. after his fourth trip to the country, and he shared his very astute observations on Facebook.

"Last time I stayed for three months. This was also my girlfriend’s first time outside of London, so I wanted her to really see the country up close," Waters told BuzzFeed. The two visited Portreath, Redruth, Little Eton, Oxford and more -- far more towns than you saw Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen take on in 2001's "Winning London."
