Though having a rough time these days at least in part thanks to Brexit, Britain is still a treasure trove of travel treats, from capital London out into England and Cornwall to Wales and Scotland. And across to Northern Ireland, too, of course!

Victor Block Ask most anyone what comes to mind when they think of Scotland and you’ll probably hear bagpipes, kilts, tartans – maybe the brogue and haggis (about which more later). If the year were 1746, you would probably have heard the same thing. But it was in that year, after the Battle of Culloden when the English decimated the Scots, after which they set about to systematically rid the country and its people of their identity and traditions. It didn’t work, which makes it all the…

Read more…At just 206 metres (680 feet) above sea level, the Great Orme (below) might be thought of as rather a slight hill. But it looks as imposing as a far greater eminence, as it overlooks the seaside resort of Llandudno, on the north Welsh coast about a 4½-hour drive or train ride from London and just over an hour's drive and two hours by rail from Liverpool. It’s a limestone headland about two miles long and a mile wide where, back in the Bronze Age, copper was mined (but they only…
Read more…Photos courtesy of TheRealMaryKing'sClose.com The year is 1645. The most virulent strain of the bubonic plague - the "Black Death" - has immobilized Edinburgh, Scotland, claiming the lives of more than half the city’s population. The area hardest hit: Mary King’s Close off High Street, a lively, busy thoroughfare of pubs, shops, and residences. Cries of suffering have replaced the friendly chatter, and the stench of death the aroma of tea and scones. The place, the time, the horror have…

A Special Invitation to a Public Flogging.
Travel is fun, flogging travel is fun, so let’s have fun.
We are introducing tour flogging experiences so please come and get flogged and stay in one of our many floggee hotels etc available at this tour flogging link where you can get flogged by tour guide floggers.
Take a goodly gander at our flogging tours, flogging accomms and adventure and activity flogs all over this tiny planet. Flogging cruises and safaris also take place and are enjoyed by most floggees at - www.thetoptravelclub.com/special-invitation.
Our members have been flogged and new members will be flogged but as newbies they get 50% off but they do get the full flog not just a half flog.
We offer custom flogging with our Travel Affiliate Program where wannabe floggers will get full ‘no cost’ training for our flogging program and will be shown ‘How to Flog’ and ‘How to Improve Flogging’ by our Flogaffiliate Manager.
We also believe that there are many bloggers who want to be floggers and influencers who may want to influence our flogging techniques but are too shy to go public as yet but to cure their shyness they can find out more from our Flogaffiliate link.
Apologies if this flogration was too much of a flog to get through.

This week's new edition of Accessible Attactions at The World on Wheels takes us to London, a city that's just crammed full of stuff to see and do. Accessible Attractions: London, England.
In the Tour Operator group Chef LeeZ asked for some clarification of our TOPs program re pricing.
We allow travel products and services to be added to our program at the same price that they are sold TO wholesalers or retailers....ie... the 'outlet' or ' source' price....they DO NOT have to be further discounted....hope this helps...this allows the smallest of quality travel businesses to promote their services at no cost to our members....full info onsite.
Arnar...take a look at our Travel Operator Promotions system (TOPs) at www.TheTopTravelClub.com and see if it is suitable for your own travel and tour services

Thank you Vicky! Yes it's true the grounds are lovely and the walk too!
Lovely pictures of Salisbury Cathedral. The grounds around the cathedral are also lovely, with a nice walk leading to the village of Harnham at the southern edge of the city.
7 SIGHTS OF SALISBURY'S WONDERFUL ENGLISH GOTHIC CATHEDRAL: THE CAT...
It is a wonderful, imposing building. Most of everything it is the effect of the light on the straight lines of its architecture that impressed me and I tried to portrait and exalt in my photos.
The baptesimal font, in my eyes, acts like a gateway to an unreal 4th dimension. I think the designer of the font is a real genius.
Hope you like my photos.
