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…

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.

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.
