Though less mountainous than other parts of Wales much of the south of the country has its own unique beauty. Carmarthen Bay on which Pendine nestles, is no exception. Sandy coves and towering cliffs characterise the areas and visitors flock to the once quiet fishing village.
This charming little village lies a mile and a half south west of Youlgreave and is set amidst the beautiful rolling hills and limestone dales at the very heart of the White Peak.
A Glorious home and my niece across the waters favourite abode!

Founded by the Romans over 2000 years ago, much of the Roman influence remains and Chester’s city walls are the most complete in Britain.
The old town of Chester provides a view of the city of Eastgate. It stands on the site of Roman Chester’s east gate. It was rebuilt in 1769, and its clock was added to commemorate Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee in 1897. King Charles Tower in the city wall now houses a Civil war Museum.
One of Chester’s most unique features is the two-tiered rows, of covered walkways and entrances to shops and other premises. The Rows are found in each of the four main streets of the city, nothing precisely similar exists anywhere else in the world.
A mighty dragon, mounted on a pedestal marks the old boundary between the city of London and Westminster known as Temple Bar. Echoes of former city life abound in the historic architecture which still characterises much of this area of London.
The village of Bardney lies only a few miles to the east of the city of Lincoln, along the ancient Viking way. The surrounding countryside is rich in fertile farmland, and is dotted with a wealth of exceptionally fine Saxon and Norman Parish Churches.
Three and half miles from Stratford upon Avon you’ll find this timbered Tudor house that Shakespeare’s mother, Mary Arden, grew up. She was born about 1540 and lived there until her marriage to John Shakespeare and moving to Henley Street.

It is now owned by the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust and is home to Shakespeare countryside museum, two historic farms, displays of farm implements, daily demonstrations by the Heart of England falconry, a blacksmith’s forge and a duck pond.
Palais de l’Isle was built in 1132 in the centre of Thiou, the famous canal in Annecy. It was the primary residence of the Lord of Annecy as early as the 12th century and later became a courthouse, the Mint and was a prison from the middle ages until 1865 and again during World War II.
Classified as a historical monument in 1900 it is now home to local history displays; and is one of the most photographed monuments of France
A beautiful square with footpaths and shady trees can be found at Lincoln’s Inn Fields. Terraced rows of 18th and 19th century houses stand to three sides of the square and red brick buildings of Lincoln’s Inn dominate the fourth. The oldest building from this period is Lindsey House, 59-60 Lincoln’s Inn Fields, which was built in 1640.
