Is studying English literature with creative writing too much of a work load?

I’m thinking of doing a BA in English literature combined with Creative Writing, I’m just worried that studying one of them might be more than enough, so I’d like to ask those with experience for some help in making this decision.

Which English universities are good for creative writing?

I’m planning on doing an English Literature with Creative Writing undergraduate degree course, beginning in 2010. Initially, I just wanted to study English, but recently I’ve decided I would be better suited to English Literature with Creative Writing. Are there any universities that are especially good for English and creative writing? A lot of the universities I had previously been looking at don’t offer the course, and The Times University Guide only offers an English league table. All answers appreciated! (-:
