Places to see in ( Belfast - UK ) Peace Wall

Places to see in ( Belfast - UK ) Peace Wall

The peace lines or peace walls are a series of separation barriers in Northern Ireland that separate Catholic and Protestant neighbourhoods. Peace Wall have been built at urban interface areas in Belfast, Derry, Portadown and elsewhere. The stated purpose of the peace lines is to minimise inter-communal violence between Catholics (most of whom are nationalists who self-identify as Irish) and Protestants (most of whom are unionists who self-identify as British).

The peace lines ( Peace Wall ) range in length from a few hundred yards to over three miles (5 km). They may be made of iron, brick, and/or steel and are up to 25 feet (7.6 m) high. Some have gates in them (sometimes staffed by police) that allow passage during daylight but are closed at night.

The first peace lines were built in 1969, following the outbreak of the 1969 Northern Ireland riots and the Troubles. They were built as temporary structures meant to last only six months, but due to their effective nature they have become wider, longer and more permanent.

The most prominent peace lines in the past few years separate the nationalist Falls Road and unionist Shankill Road areas of West Belfast; the Catholic Short Strand from the Protestant Cluan Place areas of East Belfast, the Protestant Corcrain road and the Catholic Orbins drive in Portadown and the Protestant Fountain estate and Catholic Bishop Street area of Derry.

Ogmore Castle, South Wales - A Look Around The Castle Ruins

A look at the substantial ruins of Ogmore Castle in South Wales. It sits next to the River Ewenny near the Ogmore by Sea and not that far from the town of Bridgend.

And in this video I’ve actually done some research and there are some facts!

Ogmore castle was first established in the early 12th century by William de Londres. The initial wooden structure was soon replaced with a stone castle. An upper story was added in the 13th century.

The castle is surrounded by a deep rock cut ditch which only fills with water when the nearby River Ewenny floods. The stepping stones across the river which are a scheduled ancient monument.

Within the bailey of the castle is a courthouse building which was in use until the 17th century.

The castle is officially open from 10 am to 4pm and is free to get in, it is unmanned so you can actually access the grounds at anytime.

There is a small carpark by the river but they do lock the gate in the evening, also check the tide times as this car park does flood during high tides.

Ogmore Castle near Bridgend is is just one of the 600 castles that are in Wales. Yes, there are a LOT of castles. #Wales

Places to see in ( Pembroke Dock - UK )

Places to see in ( Pembroke Dock - UK )

Pembroke Dock is a town in Pembrokeshire, South West Wales, lying north of Pembroke on the banks of the River Cleddau. Originally a small fishing village known as Paterchurch, the town was greatly expanded from 1814 onwards following the construction of a Royal Naval Dockyard. It is the third largest town in Pembrokeshire after Haverfordwest and Milford Haven.

Prior to 1814, the site of modern Pembroke Dock and its nearby settlements were mostly farmland and the area was referred to as Paterchurch. The first recorded mention of Paterchurch was in 1289. In the area a medieval tower was built and, like nearby 18th century and 19th century fortifications, it may have served as a lookout post. By the 17th century, additional domestic and farm buildings stood close to the tower and the isolated settlement had its own cemetery, whose last recorded burial is that of a Roger Adams, in 1731. The ruin of the tower now lies within the walls of the dockyard.

Pembroke Dock is served by the A477 trunk road which runs from St. Clears through Pembroke Dock and over the Daugleddau estuary via the Cleddau Bridge to Haverfordwest. It has a ferry terminal from which ferries sail twice-daily to Rosslare in Ireland. The service is operated by Irish Ferries. The town is served by Pembroke Dock railway station.

The two Martello towers remain: one is now a local museum, while the other is in private hands and has been converted for residential use and is largely intact. The dockyard wall is substantially complete and has been recently repaired by experts with dressed stone and lime mortar. The dry dock also remains, along with two out of ten building slips. The two listed hangars built to house the Sunderland flying boats used to guard the Western Approaches have been rebuilt and are now used for other purposes. Among several surviving Georgian and Victorian buildings on the site is the Terrace, a row of houses for the Dockyard officers. The Dockyard Chapel at the end of the Terrace has been rebuilt using Objective One funding from the European Union and now serves as the Pembroke Dock Heritage Centre run by Pembroke Dock Sunderland Trust.

A few buildings on the site of the old Llanion Barracks still stand. The Officers' and Sergeants' Mess once used as council offices is now occupied by Pembrokeshire Coast National Park. The original guardroom remains and is now residential accommodation and a listed Victoria Powder Magazine remains set into the coastal slope which is accessible from Connacht Way. The old parade square has recently been converted for housing.

Scotland: Two Stone Circles in Aberdeenshire (and the rain) and Not a Castle
We made it to Scotland and the rain followed us. Now you can follow us to (just hit Subscribe). However, since we are used to it from our Smith River trip, we are undaunted. We take you out to see some neolithic sites and stone circles at Aikey Bray and Strichen and attempt to take you to see Fyvie. We got wet, met some bulls, and showed up late, but we had fun and learned a thing or two along the way. Everyone is in good spirits and we are loving the decision to come to Scotland. Cullen is a wonderful town and we've got some great activities and tips to share with you, so enjoy.

From Wikipedia
Strichen Stone Circle:
Strichen Stone Circle is a small Megalithic stone circle located in the north east of Scotland, near Strichen, Aberdeenshire.
Strichen Stone Circle stands on a hill near Strichen House. In 1773 it was visited by James Boswell and Samuel Johnson, as the lexicographer was interested in seeing a druid's temple. They found only the recumbent stone with its flankers, and one other stone. The arrangement was completely destroyed around 1830, and again, after reconstruction, in 1960. On both occasions the stones were completely removed. On one occasion the stones were removed by a tenant farmer who was ordered to replace then by his landlord. The site was excavated in 1975, and again in 1980-82 when the circle was re-erected.

The circle contains the remains of a ruined ring-cairn. Excavation finds have included a cremation and urn, a cup-marked stone, and a damaged cist. The stony bank around the circle was found to have been strewn with quartz chippings. Within the ring of the present day circle, there were what appeared to be the postholes of an earlier timber ring. The recumbent measures about 2.6 metres (8.5 ft) in length by 1.05 metres (3.4 ft) in height and is situated on the south-south-east of the ring.

Between 1980 and 1982 reconstruction stones were located in the original stoneholes and their height grading was recreated. It is uncertain, however, that each stone was returned to its original position.
Aikey Brae Stone Circle:
Aikey Brae's stone circle, excavated by Richard Bradley in 2001, lies within the parish on the edge of Bridgend Wood, between Maud and Old Deer, south of B9029 on the summit of Parkhouse Hill in the north of Aberdeenshire, Scotland. It is a nearly complete recumbent stone circle. Characteristic of a recumbent stone circle is a recumbent stone accompanied by two standing, high, often tapering flank stones, which are within the circle or near the circle. It was constructed in about 2000BC.

The circle consists of ten stones and has a diameter of 14.4 m. The recumbent stone weighs 21.5 tons and, like its high flank stones (one of which has fallen down) is made of basalt, which does not occur nearby. The rest of the stones are made of local granite, sorted by size, with the largest one next to the flanks and the smallest ones lying opposite.

Fyvie Castle:
Beautiful from the outside. Closes early.
