Cardiff is not only the Welsh capital city, but it is also the most popular tourist destination in Great Britain besides England’s capital, London. The city of Cardiff is also the largest Welsh city, but it remained only a small town until the start of the 19th century. It was during the early 1800’s when the small Welsh town of Cardiff saw itself grow into an immenely important port involved in the transportation locally mined coal, plus other local industry. Cardiff received city status, from King Edward VII of England, on the twenty eighth of October 1905, but, weirdly, it only became the capital city of Wales on 20th December 1955. After Cardiff was declared the capital it soon became the perfect place for a number of national institutions, including the University of Wales Registry Building, the National Museum of Wales and the Welsh National War Memorial. Over the last few decades the Cardiff Information and Technology sector of business has experienced dramatic rates of expansion as well as, although to a lesser degree various other areas of business, especially in service industries. Tourism has also witnessed dramatic increases and these days there are large numbers of establishments providing Cardiff bed & breakfast.

When people visit England they usually want to see and experience something typically “English”. This may be a visit to Buckingham Palace or the Tower of London but besides the city of London there are few cities which ooze English character more than Cambridge. Visions of wigged judges and barristers walking in strange parades and students riding bicycles along cobbled streets is what springs to many a mind when thinking of English towns and when we look at Cambridge it isn’t too far from the truth...

During my formative years I travelled around the United Kingdom, mainly during the summer months and mainly in the country of England. One of the places, besides the city of Liverpool, in which I spent most time, was the seaside town of  Southport, also in Merseyside (although locals would prefer it was still part of Lancashire and even choose to address letters as such!). Winter wasn’t much fun in the town but come summer it came alive with the most wonderful atmosphere... Read More

It has been a while since I posted a blog here as I have been busy working on a new travel related site which covers the whole of the United Kingdom and focuses on providing the most comprehensive bed and breakfast accommodation listings on the Internet (well that is the aim). Today I took a look at the town of Bristol which I have not visited since my mid teens. I remember it clearly as a gorilla escaped from the amazing Bristol Zoo while I was staying with family. These days I have no family there so I will have to stay in Bristol bed & breakfast so finding the cheapest available has been my main aim. In the blog below I introduce the  reader to the wonderful city of Bristol, a great place for a family vacation but also highly suitable for a wild weekend break:.. Read More

Fife is an region of Scotland surrounded by water on three sides, the Tay, the Forth and the North Sea. While much of the land is turned over to agriculture the small region is actually the third largest, in terms of population, in Scotland with a rather industrial southern part. Tourism provides an important income and much of the interest in the area is associated with golf, that ancient Scottish game that is known, and well loved, throughout the world. For this reason I have decided to introduce you to the British Golf Museum and the St Andrews Museum. There are a great many places to visit in Fife but for an area surrounded by so much water it will not come as any great surprise that I have chosen to also take a look at the Scottish Fisheries Museum...
