Ultimate James Bond travel adventure

by Simon Hooper

Fifty years since his screen debut, James Bond's return in ?Skyfall? is already being hailed by critics as one of the spy's better recent escapades in a series with more ups and downs than Roger Moore's eyebrows.

In celebration, we've dreamed up the perfect Bondian adventure, taking in some of the classic European locations featured in 007's half-century career.

Stoke Poges, England 'What's your game, Mister Bond?'

The 18th hole at Stoke Park Country Club, the setting for the high-stakes golf match between Sean Connery and Gert Fr�be's Auric Goldfinger in 1964.

Your mission begins west of London at the Stoke Park Country Club, the genteel setting for Sean Connery's ungentlemanly round of golf with his eponymous nemesis in ?Goldfinger.? Just keep an eye on the caddy if he's wearing a bowler hat.
