    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…

Mary King’s Close in Edinburgh: 400 years of buried history brought to life

  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…

  • Glad you had a good time, hopefully you can see it again when you have more time.
  • I am so happy I got to see a bit of London, even if it was only for 24 hours. It is a beautiful city. I got blisters on my toes from all the walking I did, but it was worth it! And Wales? Awesome!
  • Prob the most reliable source is the bbc:

  • To those of you who are in London now: What's the word on the transit strike?
  • I hope to be there on 9 November for Travel Blog Camp.
  • I can't wait to visit London. Hope could go soon!
  • I will be attending the WTM and look forward to meeting up with old friends and new. Accessible Travel is a huge yet largely untapped market, I invite colleagues to send questions to me regarding this market as I am giving a seminar on the topic on Travel Agents Day and would like to address as many issues as possible in the short time the WTM allows. My seminar will be as interactive as possible, no preaching from the pulpit! I am also available for the consultancy networking session the same day. Questions to wtm@disabledaccessibletravel.com (online from 1st September).
  • The United States has issued a travel warning against visiting Northern Ireland. This is very upsetting to me. Have any other countries issued such a warning? Is Northern Ireland returning to a state of civil war?
  • What's one of the most special things about London's Athenaeum Hotel? (We'll give you a hint: chlorophyll) Find out here.
  • A weekend in London on our way home from France. Today, on The World on Wheels: http://tinyurl.com/23rylyf
