United Kingdom

Though having an increasingly rough time thanks to Brexit, Britain is still a treasure trove of travel treats, from England and Cornwall to Wales and Scotland. And across to Northern Ireland, too, of course!

The Great Orme Tramway is a vintage charmer in Wales

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…

Top 3 Places in UK You Should Consider a Holiday Home

Howdy Folks! The United Kingdom has already been one of my favourite places to spend vacations, but I think it is better to have a vacation home there instead of paying rentals and fares to expensive hotels. Even after my retirement, I will live in a vacation home in the UK. Here are my favourite places to get a vacation home: Dorset: It is one of the most beautiful places in the Southwest of England. Especially its villages are worth living and visiting. It will be a great idea if you get a…

The UK in '12 Top Destinations for African Diaspora Travel'

dmbaker Although the reason for the African diaspora was tragic and horrific - the brutal, centuries-long trafficking of human slaves - it has also enriched many parts of the world, and indeed, world culture as a whole, and here I take a look at a dozen of the most fascinating destinations to experience the culture and contributions of the sons and daughters of Africa across the world, from the mother continent itself up to Europe and across to the Americas: read post

THE COTSWOLD WAY #PROJECT - ENGLAND - WALKING FROM CHIPPING CAMPDEN...

www.edwhatamidoinghere.blogspot.com wants to explore with you the world in a different way. This time it will be walking along one of the most famous and most beautiful long distance walks in Europe: The Cotswold Way. And the media this time will be not just photos but videos too!

The Cotswold Way is a long distance walk of 102 miles (little more than 150 km) starting in Chipping Campden in the heart of the Cotswolds. The Cotswolds, also known as Cotswolds Hills, are a large area in the West of England, North of the cities of Bristol and Bath designated Area of Natural Outstanding Beauty.

www.edwhatamidoinghere.blogspot.comwants to introduce you to the beauty of the Cotswolds with videos with posts and photos. As we haven't followed all the Cotswold Way, but we indulged to some detours to visit some beautiful places just next to the Way, you will have the chance to plan your walk in this area, or, if you already know the Cotswold Way, discover some attractions you have missed keeping on the path and that you may want to visit.

We divided the walk in 11 sections and every week we will publish a new section of the walk.

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...

Salisbury Cathedral in 4 dimensions!

Salisbury Cathedral is one of the highest examples of the English gothic architecture in Britain. Situated in the South of England, near Stonehenge, in the beautiful region of Wiltshire, it is a wonderful example of medieval architecture.

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.
