English Heritage

Picture
English Heritage is a society that was created in order to protect our Heritage. By that I mean England's Castles, Stately Homes, Historical sites and more. To some people this may seem a waste of time. However, England has such a rich and diverse background it would be sad to let what little is left fall into disrepair, and the knowledge of the past simply die.  England was and is a great country and we have much to be proud of.

London vacations

Picture
Planning on a visit to the UK? Visiting a foreign land can be worrying. Personal safety must always be paramount. The UK is a safe place to visit but as with many western countries the 21st Century can pose new challenges. As always there are some no-go areas and some "visit with caution" parts of any town. When we visited the northern city of York we were struck by how safe it was. York appears to have bypassed many of the urban issues that dog so many cities and towns in the UK especially at night....more

UK Counties

The UK is divided into counties. These are administrative areas. Previous governments have made attempts at reorganising the structure and location of counties. This meant that at our neck of the woods in the East Riding of Yorkshire we were suddenly situated in North Humberside. This change cost a small fortune in signs and the like but ultimately the people won and this name was scrapped. More expense of course but Yorkshire folk are proud to be Yorkshire. Each county has its own attractions, pros and cons for visitors. In time Travel UK will bring you the best, worst and middle of the road which should you plan and enjoy a successful vacation in the UK.
