Wye Valley and Monmouth Village England and Wales UK ???????? Part 1
Wye Valley
__________
The Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB; Welsh: Dyffryn Gwy) is an internationally important protected landscape straddling the border between England and Wales. It is one of the most dramatic and scenic landscapes in Britain.
The River Wye (Welsh: Afon Gwy) is the fifth-longest river in the United Kingdom. The upper part passes through Rhayader, Builth Wells and Hay-on-Wye, but the area designated as an AONB covers 326 square kilometres (126 sq mi) surrounding a 72-kilometre (45 mi) stretch lower down the river, from just south of Hereford to Chepstow.
This area covers parts of the counties of Gloucestershire, Herefordshire and Monmouthshire, and is recognised in particular for its limestone gorge scenery and dense native woodlands, as well as its wildlife, archaeological and industrial remains. It is also historically important as one of the birthplaces of the modern tourism industry. The area is predominantly rural, and many people make a living from tourism, agriculture or forestry. Ross-on-Wye is the only town within the AONB itself, but Hereford, Monmouth, Coleford and Chepstow lie just outside its boundaries.

Symonds Yat is a village in the Wye Valley and a popular tourist destination, straddling the River Wye and on the borders of the English counties of Herefordshire and Gloucestershire. It is within a few miles of Monmouthshire and the Welsh border. The name is said to come from Robert Symonds, a 17th-century sheriff of Herefordshire, and yat, an old word for a gate or pass.
The ferry at Symonds Yat has always played a huge part in the life here. In 1800 there were 25 hand ferries between Ross and Chepstow just like those outside Ye Old Ferrie Inn and the Saracen's Head today. They were introduced in Roman times to link the forts of the Doward and the Yat and have served military, civilian, tourist and horse traffic over the years.
Symonds Yat originally encompassed all the lands southerly of Huntsham curve on both sides of Symonds Yat Rock and would have included the area around Coldwell Rocks. The name Symonds Yat used to refer to quite a large area of land and the hamlet of Symonds Yat (East), consisting of the Saracen's Head Inn, the Fish House, Lockkeepers Cottage and one or two cottages on the hillside, was specifically called New Weir and is seen on maps as such up until 1955.
Symonds Yat (East) is on the eastern side of the river, very close to the Gloucestershire border. It has three hotels, WyeDean Canoe and Activity Centre and the Saracens Head Inn (with accommodation). A steep footpath leads from the village up to Symonds Yat Rock. Another footpath and a cycleway, constructed on a former railway line, runs on the eastern bank to Monmouth.
Symonds Yat (West) is on the western side of the river. It has a large caravan and camping site (Sterretts Caravan Site), and a small amusement park owned by Kimberly Danter (daughter of Henry Danter and family member of the famous UK showmen the Danter Family). Symonds Yat (West) amusement park used to have a small funfair which was removed in 2010 due to lack of service.

Endless Pool - River Lugg Herefordshire - 480-720 HD
Endless Pool - River Lugg Herefordshire - 480-720 HD
Take a look at what is essentially an endless pool in a river, As apposed to swimming with the current find a spot and swim upstream. You can swim as long as you like.
On this occasion I give a demo. The current was reasonably strong post a river rise and so it was a quick hard swim. When the levels drop I'll do another swim and video. It was freezing cold and yet always expecting that in open water it only registered in terms of it being a buzz.
Good swim in Hertfordshire's River Lugg.

Centre of Bruges, Belgium Europe: Canal Boats
Canal boats and Horses and Carriage in the centre of Bruges, Belgium.
This video was recorded in September 2011 while on holiday adventure in Bruges, Belgium Europe. We travelled to Bruges by car from England and used the Euro Tunnel to crossover into Calais France. The journey from Folkstone England to Calais France took a mere 45 minutes and from Calais to the Centre of Bruges was only 1 hour and 15 minutes.
Bruges has beautiful waterways, similar to Venice, Italy and it is a popular tourists destination. Enjoy canal boat rides in Bruges
