Ross-on-Wye was the birthplace of the British tourist industry. In 1745, the rector, Dr John Egerton, started taking friends on boat trips down the valley from his rectory at Ross. The Wye Valley's particular attraction was its river scenery, its precipitous landscapes, and its castles and abbeys, which were accessible to fashionable seekers of the "Picturesque". In 1782,William Gilpin's book "Observations on the River Wye" was published, the first illustrated tour guide to be published in Britain. Once it was published, demand grew so much that by 1808 there were eight boats making regular excursions down the Wye, most of them hired from inns in Ross and Monmouth. By 1850 more than 20 visitors had published their own accounts of the Wye Tour, and the area was established as a tourist area.
In year of 1929 the British company Durex started to supply the markets with

village of Straud
Stroud its a small town in Gloucestershire.Just 20 min drive from Cheltenham. We went there with Keith for a day out.The village its build from yellow lime stone and it is very unique.Berkeley Castle(historically sometimes spelt (Berkley Castle) is a castle in the town of Berkeley,Gloucestershire,UK . The castle's origins date back to the 11th century and it has been designated by English Heritage as a grade I listed building.
The castle has remained within the Berkeley family since they reconstructed it in the 12th century, except for a period of royal ownership by the Tudors. It is traditionally believed to be the scene of the murder of King Edward II in 1327. The Berkeley family is unique in English history in that it has to this day an unbroken male line of descent from a noble Saxon ancestor before the Norman conquest of England in 1066 and also retains possession of much of the lands it held from the 11th and 12th centuries,centered on Berkeley Castle in Gloucestershire. |
Tewkesbury town |
The name Tewkesbury comes from Theoc, the name of a Saxon who founded a hermitage there in the 7th century, and in the Old English tongue was called Theocsbury. An albeit erroneous derivation from Theotokos enjoyed currency in the monastic period of the town's history.Tewkesbury Abbey, a fine Norman Abbey, originally part of a monastery, which was saved from the Dissolution of the Monasteries by King Henry VIII after being bought by the townspeople for £453 to use as their parish church.
The town has houses with distinctive Tudor architecture and also its connected to the war of the roses. The Battle of Tewkesbury, which took place on 4 May 1471, was one of the decisive battles of the Wars of the Roses. The forces loyal to the House of Lancaster were completely defeated by those of the rival House of York under their monarch, King Edward IV. The Lancastrian heir to the throne, Edward, Prince of Wales, and many prominent Lancastrian nobles were killed during the battle or were dragged from sanctuary two days later and immediately executed. The Lancastrian King,Henry VI, who was a prisoner in theTower of London, died or was murdered shortly after the battle. Tewkesbury restored political stability to England until the death of Edward IV in 1483. |
Portsmouth England
Portsmouth
Passing from France to England just felt to visit one of the most wonderful cities in England Porthsmout.Ihave spend in there 3 hours only as much as to see jut a little bit of it. is the second largest city in the county of Hampshire on the south coast of England. Portsmouth is notable for being the United Kingdom's only island city; it is mainly on Portsea Island. It is situated 64 miles (103 km) south west of London and 19 miles (31 km) south east of Southampton.. As a significant naval port for centuries, Portsmouth is home to the world's oldest dry dock still in use and also home to some famous ships, including HMS Warrior, the Tudor carrack Mary Rose and Lord Nelson's flagship, HMS Victory. Although smaller than in its heyday, the naval base remains a major dockyard and base for the Royal Navy and Royal Marine Commandos whose Headquarters resides there. There is also a thriving commercial ferry port serving destinations on the continent for freight and passenger traffic. |
Exeter DevonTraveling to Exeter by bus was real pleasure.Keith me and his friend took 6 hours trip from Gloucester to Exeter.The town has most distinctive British architecture and we have took a very nice place to sleep for couple of days with large living room and TV massive windows and nice breakfast.With its twin Norman towers, Exeter's cathedral – built in the Decorated Gothic style – is the distinguished central feature of this old city. Begun in 1112, its 300ft unbroken vaulted ceiling is the world's longest and is often compared to an avenue of stately trees. The magnificent west front features sculptures of monarchs Alfred, Athelstan, Canute and William the Conqueror sitting cross-legged, as if they are chatting. If you're looking for a good place to try a Devon cream tea, there's an excellent café under a fabulous vaulted stone ceiling.
Its one of the best trips that I had with nice companies. |
Britannia is called the green island.There is a few herbs growing on the island but there is a big variety of trees bushes and flowers living there.The garden shows are impressive especially those one in London.Some of the plants are coming from Australia and also New Zeland.
Most common plants that you can see are Cortadeira Selloana,Acer bush,Aconium and Aliums and many other.The most preferable flowers for landscaping and decoration are the daffodils covering the empty arias into the parks. Combination of multicolored bushes and also one in red and silver gray colors are specific for the British garden.Most of the parks has great iron pavilions used for cafes and for performing evening concerts. Eringium its one of my favorite plants on the island. |
Stratford upon Avon
Stratford-upon-Avon known locally as Stratford) is a market town and in south Warwickshire, England. It lies on the River Avon, 22 miles (35 km) south east of Birmingham and 8 miles (13 km) south west of Warwick. It is the largest and most populous town of the non-metropolitan district Stratford-on-Avon, which uses the term "on" rather than "upon" to distinguish it from the town itself. Four electoral wards make up the urban town of Stratford; Alveston, Avenue and New Town,Mount Pleasant and Guild and Hathaway. The estimated total population for those wards in 2007 was 25,505.
The town is a popular tourist destination owing to its status as birthplace of the playwright and poet William Shakespeare, receiving about 4.9 million visitors a year from all over the world. The Royal Shakespeare Company resides in Stratford's Royal Shakespeare Theatre, one of Britain's most important cultural venues.You can also see Anne Hatway Shakespeare s wife house and Swan theater.The cafes in the museums are very nice to sit in with cup of warm tea and also some cake. |
Borton on the water England
Borton on the water is 40 miles from Cheltenham. And it is regarded as the most beautiful village in Britannia.The village has peculiar park with small stone made houses and natural park full of unusual birds.We have visited the place with the Keith s family..
Historically a part of the West Riding of Yorkshire, Bradford rose to prominence during the 19th century as an international centre of textile manufacture, particularly wool. It was a boomtown of the Industrial Revolution, and amongst the earliest industrialised settlements, rapidly becoming the "wool capital of the world". The area's access to a supply of coal, iron ore and soft water facilitated the growth of Bradford's manufacturing base, which, as textile manufacture grew, led to an explosion in population and was a stimulus to civic investment; Bradford has a large amount of listed Victorian architecture including the grand Italianate City Hall.
The textile sector in Bradford fell into decline from the mid-20th century. Since this time, Bradford has emerged as a tourist destination, becoming the first UNESCO City of Film with attractions such as the National Media Museum, Bradford City Park, the Alhambra theatre and Cartwright Hall. However, Bradford has faced similar challenges to the rest of the post-industrial area of Northern England, including deindustrialisation, social unrest and economic deprivation.By the middle ages Bradford, had become a small town centred on Kirkgate, Westgate and Ivegate. In 1316 there is mention of afulling mill, a soke mill where all the manor corn was milled and a market. During the Wars of the Roses the inhabitants sided withHouse of Lancaster. Edward IV granted the right to hold two annual fairs and from this time the town began to prosper. In the reign of Henry VIII Bradford exceeded Leeds as a manufacturing centre. Bradford grew slowly over the next two-hundred years as the woollen trade gained in prominence.

Town of Cirencester |
Town of Cirencester is just 15 miles away by car from the town of Cheltenham were we used to live with Keith.
I have visited Cirencester twice with him and his mum for a nice walk.We have visited the Museum Corelium full of Roman musaics and also the local antique center were you can buy decent peaces of furniture and some paintings on good price. It is also worth of seeing the old Baptist church St John with magnificent hall sometimes used for the performances classical music concerts. Walking around you can find old type British sweet shop full of muffins. |
Scarborough town 2007
I was invited from some friends to visit town of Scarborough for three days.i have staid at lovely house and enjoyed very nice meal with them.On the second day we have made a small trip to town of York and got some beer at the local pub. Unfortunately my friend felt ill so we could not staid allot but we have manage to see the old streets of York.
In 1068, two years after the Norman Conquest of England, the people of York rebelled. Initially the rebellion was successful, however, upon the arrival of William the Conqueror the rebellion was put down. William at once built two wooden fortresses on mottes, which are still visible, on either side of the river Ouse. York was ravaged by him as part of the harrying of the North.Henrry Second build Norman castle during 1155.During 1253 in the town has been started the organization of many fests.
The town its famous with its mineral water springs. During 1660 for a firs time its a place for tourism.
The first stone Minster church was badly damaged by fire in the uprising and the Normans later decided to build a new Minster on a new site. Around the year 1080 Archbishop Thomas started building a cathedral that in time became the current Minster.In the 12th century York started to prosper. In 1190, York Castle was the site of an infamous massacre of its Jewish inhabitants, in which at least 150 Jews died (although some authorities put the figure as high as 500).
The Shambles, a medieval street in York
The city, through its location on the River Ouse and its proximity to the Great North Road became a major trading centre. King John granted the city's first charter in 1212. confirming trading rights in England and Europe.During the course of the later Middle Ages York merchants imported wine from France, cloth, wax, canvas, and oats from the Low Countries, timber and furs from the Baltic and exported grain to Gascony and grain and wool to the Low Countries. York became a major cloth manufacturing and trading centre. Edward I further stimulated the city's economy by using the city as a base for his war in Scotland. The city was the location of significant unrest during the so-called Peasants' Revolt in 1381. The city acquired an increasing degree of autonomy from central government including the privileges granted by a charter of Richard II in 1396.

My stay in Scarborough was really nice with little exceptions.I did not manage to visit the castle itself but here it is some images of it as it is good if you visit UK once and this lovely place to see it.I have staid in a friends house and after we went around the town and for a nice walk with the doggy on the beach.I have took some lovely photographs of the sea but I could not find them now.We went for a small shopping in the center of town at TK MAX ,than visited a local pub.
The towns cemetery you can also see the grave of Anne Bronte and her home.Anne Brontë 17 January 1820 – 28 May 1849) was a British novelist and poet, the youngest member of the Brontë literary family.
The daughter of a poor Irish clergyman in the Church of England, Anne Brontë lived most of her life with her family at the parish ofHaworth on the Yorkshire moors. For a couple of years she went to a boarding school. At the age of 19 she left Haworth and worked as a governess between 1839 and 1845. After leaving her teaching position, she fulfilled her literary ambitions. She wrote a volume of poetry with her sisters (Poems by Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell, 1846) and two novels. Agnes Grey, based upon her experiences as a governess, was published in 1847. Her second and last novel, The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, which is considered to be one of the first sustained feminist novels, appeared in 1848. Anne's life was cut short when she died of pulmonary tuberculosis at the age of 29.
Mainly because the re-publication of The Tenant of Wildfell Hall was prevented by Charlotte Brontë after Anne's death, she is less known than her sisters Charlotte, author of four novels including Jane Eyre, and Emily, author of Wuthering Heights. However her novels, like those of her sisters, have become classics of English literature.

Winchcombe
Winchcombe was a chief city of favoured by Coenwulf the others being Lichfield and Tamworth. Subsequently, during the 11th century, the town was briefly the county town of Winchcombeshire. The Anglo-Saxon saint St. Kenelm is believed to be buried in the town. In the Restoration period, Winchcombe was noted for cattle rustling and other lawlessness, caused in part by poverty. In an attempt to earn a living, local people grew tobacco as a cash crop, despite this practice having being outlawed since the Commonwealth. Soldiers were sent in on at least one occasion to destroy the illegal crop.
Bristol year of 2000 just small walk trough the town
On a sunny day we have decided to take a small trip to Bristol with Keith by bus.Its about an hour away from Cheltenham. Bristol port has a key role in tobacco trade in England.The city its most famous with the Royal queen pirates.Walking along Bristol’s ancient harbor, it's easy to imagine the tall ships with their sails whipping in the wind and the shouts and cries of sailors preparing to head out to sea. Bristol’s strong links with the ocean, and its key role in the profitable trade of slavery and tobacco, inevitably lead to the city’s involvement with piracy. Laws at the time stated that piracy was illegal - however the practice of privateer was not. Privateers were meant to have a 'letter of Marque' from their government allowing them to attack and steal from merchant ships of certain countries.
Bristol's most famous pirate, Blackbeard, was allegedly born in the city, near the old harbor. Also known as Edward Teach, the infamous sailor led a reign of terror over the Caribbean Sea and the islands that inhabit it. Another pirate with Bristolian links was Bartholomew Roberts, who roamed the seas in the 18th century. He sailed from Bristol on merchant ships and was forced to join a band of pirates after his own ship was captured. He soon earned respect on board and eventually became captain of the ship, and went on to become the most successful pirate in history, capturing 456 vessels in four years. He was killed in a battle against HMS Swallow, which had been specially commissioned to capture pirates. He was granted his dying wish to be buried at sea so his body would never be captured. Bristol also played a great role in the demise of piracy. Governor Woodes Rogers, a famous privateer, was born in Bristol in 1679. He circumnavigated the globe between 1708 and 1711, and is most famous for rescuing Alexander Selkirk from Juan Fernandez Island, who had been marooned there for over five years. Rogers was later made General and Governor in Chief over the Bahama Islands, where he took steps to suppress piracy, successfully ousting Blackbeard as Magistrate of the "Privateers Republic". A plaque commemorating Woodes Rogers can be seen on one of the fine Georgian houses in Queen Square. |
Bristol Cathedral — official dedication The Cathedral Church of the Holy and Undivided Trinity — is the Church of England cathedral in the city of Bristol, England. Founded in 1140, it became the seat of the bishop and cathedral of the new Diocese of Bristol in 1542.

Hastings Castleis situated in the town of Hastings,East Sussex
Immediately after landing in England in 1066 William of Normandy ordered three fortifications to be built, Pevensey Castle in September 1066, Hastings (before the Battle of Hastings) and Dover, a few days after the battle. Hastings Castle was originally built as a motte-and-bailey castle near the sea. In 1070 William had issued orders for the Castle to be rebuilt in stone, along with the St Mary's Chapel.Lady Elizabeth Hastings (19 April 1682 – 21 December 1739), known as Lady Betty, was a benefactor and the daughter of the 7th Earl of Huntingdon. Her brother George became the 8th Earl. On her father's death in 1701 her brother passed on to her the estate of Ledston or Ledstone Hall, near Castleford, West Yorkshire, and she lived there until her death. She did not marry.She had an annual income of about £3000 and gave half of this to various charitable causes, including local charities, a girls' school in Ledsham, and a school in Chelsea run by Mary Astell. She was a major influence on the erection ofHoly Trinity Church, Leeds.[1] |

Forest of Dean near Cheltenham
The Forest of Dean is a geographical, historical and cultural region in the western part of the county of Gloucestershire, England. The forest is a roughly triangular plateau bounded by the River Wye to the west and north, the River Severn to the south, and the City of Gloucester to the east.I used to walk with my husband one or twice.It is lovely place.It full of dears and larks but we did not see any.
The area is characterized by over 110 square kilometers of mixed woodland, one of the surviving ancient woodlands in England. A large area was reserved for royal hunting before 1066, and remained as the second largest Crown forest in England, the largest being New forest Although the name is often used loosely to refer to that part of Gloucestershire between the Severn and Wye, the Forest of Dean proper has covered a much smaller area since medieval times. In 1327 it was defined to cover only the royal demesne and parts of parishes of St Breavel, and after 1668 the Forest comprised the royal demesne only. This area is now within the civil parishes of West Dean, Lydbrook,Cinderford, Ruspidge, and Drybrook. Traditionally the main sources of work in the area have been forestry– including charcoal production - Iron working and coal mining Archaeological studies have dated the earliest use of coal in the forest to Roman times times, for domestic heating and industrial processes such as the preparation of iron |
Brighton
Just an hour away from London by bus its Brighton.Its is coastal town and very beautiful one.With Keith we have decided to spend a day out and visit the Royal pavilion and enjoy in the local pubs.
The pavilion its royal residence of King George fifth. The Prince of Wales, who later became King George IV, first visited Brighton in 1783, at the age of 21. The seaside town had become fashionable through the residence of George's uncle, the Prince Henry, Duke of Cumberland, whose tastes for cuisine, gaming, the theatre and fast living the young prince shared, and with whom he lodged in Brighton at Grove House. In addition, his physician advised him that the seawater would be beneficial for his gout. In 1786, under a financial cloud that had been examined in Parliament for the extravagances incurred in building Carlton House, London, he rented a modest erstwhile farmhouse facing the Steine, a grassy area of Brighton used as a promenade by visitors. Being remote from the Royal Court in London, the Pavilion was also a discreet location for the Prince to enjoy liaisons with his long-time companion, Maria Fitzherbert. The Prince had wished to marry her, and did so in secrecy, as her Roman Catholicism ruled out marriage under the Royal Marriages Act 1772. |

North London Roof gardens
A roof garden is any garden on the roof of a building. Besides the decorative benefit, roof plantings may provide food, temperature control, horological benefits, architectural enhancement, habitats or corridors for wildlife, and recreational opportunities. The practice of cultivating food on the rooftop of buildings is sometimes referred to as rooftop farming. Rooftop farming is usually done using green roof, or air systems or container gardens.Besides using the already present space at the roof itself, additional platforms could possibly be created between high-rise buildings called "aero-bridges".
Cannry Warf LondonNew development complex in Canary Wharf
Canary Wharf is a major business district located in Tower Hamlets, London, United Kingdom.
