    Ironbridge

    7. juni 2024, England ⋅ ⛅ 63 °F

    Ironbridge is a small town in the West Midlands region of England, famous for being the home of the first cast iron bridge in the world. The bridge was completed in 1781 by Abraham Darby III, grandson of Abraham Darby, who perfected the smelting of iron with coke. The bridge is viewed as a symbol of the dawn of the Industrial Revolution.Læs mere

    Pontcysyllte Aqueduct

    8. juni 2024, Wales ⋅ ⛅ 54 °F

    We left Shrewsbury this morning for a day of exploring in Wales. Our first stop was the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct (pronounced pont–ker–sulth–tay), a navigable aqueduct that carries the Llangollen Canal across the River Dee in the Vale of Llangollen in northeast Wales. The 18-arched stone and cast iron structure was designed by Thomas Telford and was completed in 1805. It is the longest aqueduct in Great Britain as well as the highest canal aqueduct in the world. The aqueduct was to have been a key part of the central section of the proposed Ellesmere Canal, an industrial waterway that would have created a commercial link between the River Severn at Shrewsbury and the Port of Liverpool on the River Mersey. However, the entire canal system was never completed. Within 3 years of completion of the aqueduct, the rail network had surpassed canal shipping in both cost and efficiency.Læs mere

    Conwy Castle and the town walls were built at the instruction of King Edward I of England, between 1283 and 1289, as part of his conquest of the principality of Wales. It was a key stronghold in a series of castles built to protect the important trade route between the northern Welsh coastline and London.Læs mere

    An evening in Shrewsbury

    8. juni 2024, England ⋅ ☀️ 59 °F

    We returned to Shrewsbury in the early evening and made our way to The Armoury for dinner. When we arrived there were more than 50 people outside. At first, I thought that we'd never get a table. But then, I remembered that I was with Stacy! "Table for two? Right this way!" We enjoyed a wonderful meal of lamb and rosemary pie, fish and chips, and a local ale. For dessert, we had sticky toffee pudding and a proper cuppa English tea. Delicious! After dinner we took a leisurely walk along the River Severn back to our B&B.Læs mere

    After another delicious breakfast, we said our goodbyes to Sonya and the Trevellion House B&B.

    Our first stop was The Roaches, a stunning gritstone ridge that rises above the moorlands close to Leek in the Staffordshire Peak District. At its highest point, the ridge reaches 505m (1,657 feet) and provides spectacular views over Staffordshire and Cheshire.Læs mere

    Buxton

    9. juni 2024, England ⋅ ☁️ 52 °F

    We continued our drive north, over the rolling green hills, and made our way to the spa town of Buxton in Derbyshire for lunch and a visit to the natural mineral springs and pavilion gardens. Buxton was originally settled by the Romans and became a popular spa destination in the middle ages after Mary Queen of Scotts promoted the healing properties of the water.Læs mere

    Chatsworth House is a stately home in the Derbyshire Dales. The estate is the seat of the Duke of Devonshire and has belonged to the Cavendish family since 1549. We enjoyed our tour of the home and gardens, although it was unsettling to witness the opulent lifestyle of the British aristocracy compared to the simple homes in the local villages.Læs mere

    Hogsmeade Train Station

    10. juni 2024, England ⋅ ☀️ 54 °F

    In the Harry Potter books, Hogsmeade Train Station was a "tiny, dark platform" where the Hogwarts Express ended its journey north from Platform Nine and Three-Quarters at King's Cross Station in London. The railway station served both the village of Hogsmeade and Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

    In real life, this is Goathland Station on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway. It was our first stop this evening as we drove north from York into the Yorkshire Dales.    Læs mere

    North Yorkshire & The Lion Inn

    10. juni 2024, England ⋅ ☀️ 54 °F

    On our way to dinner at the Lion Inn, we drove across the Dales and Moors of North Yorkshire. This is sheep farming country, and the landscape is dotted with stone farm houses and with fields sectioned off with stone walls.

    Our meal at the Lion Inn was delicious. I had the lamb, and Stacy had the fish and chips. We shared a sticky toffee pudding for dessert. It has quickly become a new favorite!

    After dinner, we returned to York and said goodbye to our tour members and guide who are returning to London tomorrow. We join our new tour group and guide tomorrow afternoon.    Læs mere

    Jervaulx

    12. juni 2024, England ⋅ ☁️ 52 °F

    We left York this morning and headed NW into the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Our first stop was in the town of Jervaulx at the Brymor Dairy Farm. The creamery is highly regarded for making the best ice cream in the Dales. From there, it was just a short drive across town to the Jervaulx Abbey. The Abbey fell into ruin during the Dissolution of the Monasteries that began in 1535, just a year after King Henry VIII broke from Rome and declared himself the head of the Church of England. The Dissolution Acts were primarily a demonstration of power and control but also a raiding of wealth for the crown. The lead roofing of most abbeys was particularly valuable, and once it was removed, they gradually fell into ruin.Læs mere

    Castlerigg Stone Circle

    12. juni 2024, England ⋅ ⛅ 52 °F

    Castlerigg was built in the Neolithic period, roughly 4500 years ago, making it one of the oldest stone circles in Britain. It's also one of the most picturesque, as it overlooks the Thirlmere Valley with the mountains of High Seat and Helvellyn in the background. There are various theories as to why Castlerigg was constructed, but nobody knows for certain. It was mostly likely a site to mark and celebrate the winter solstice.Læs mere
