Wellington is a small industrial town in rural Somerset, England, situated 7 miles south west of Taunton in the Taunton Deane district, near the border with Devon, which runs along the Blackdown Hills to the south of the town. Known as Weolingtun in the Anglo-Saxon period, its name had changed to Walintone by the time of the Domesday Book of 1086.
Wellington became a town under a royal charter of 1215 and during the Middle Ages it grew as a centre for trade on the road from Bristol to Exeter. Major rebuilding took place following a fire in the town in 1731, after which it became a centre for cloth-making. Wellington gave its name to the first Duke of Wellington, Arthur Wellesley, who is commemorated by the nearby Wellington Monument. The Grand Western Canal reached the town in 1835 and then the Bristol and Exeter Railway in 1843. The town's own railway station survived until 1964. Wellington was home of Fox, Fowler and Company, which was the last commercial bank permitted to print their own sterling banknotes in England and Wales. In the 20th century closer links with Taunton meant that many of the residents of Wellington commuted there for work, and the M5 motorway enabled car journeys to be made more easily.
Local industries, which now include an aerosol factory and bed manufacturers, are celebrated at the Wellington Museum in Fore street. Wellington is home to the independent Wellington School, and state-funded Court Fields School. It is also home to a range of cultural, sporting and religious sites including the 15th century Church of St John the Baptist. The capital city of New Zealand is named after Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington, thus his title comes from the town of Wellington, Somerset, England.
Wellington gave its name to the first Duke of Wellington, Arthur Wellesley. Nearby Wellington Hill boasts a large, spotlit obelisk to his honour, the Wellington Monument. The Wellington Monument is a floodlit 175 feet (53 m) high triangular tower designated by English Heritage as a grade II* listed building. It was erected to celebrate the Duke of Wellington's victory at the Battle of Waterloo. The foundation stone was laid in 1817, on land belonging to the Duke, but the monument was not completed until 1854. It is now owned by the National Trust, who announced plans to reclad the monument at a cost of £4 million in 2009.
The town has many dependent villages including West Buckland, Langford Budville, Nynehead, Sampford Arundel and Sampford Moor. The formerly independent village of Rockwell Green, to the west of the town, has been incorporated into the town however there is still a green wedge of land in between them. Wellington Park was a gift from the Quaker Fox family to the town in 1903 as a memorial to the coronation of King Edward VII.
The town was served by Wellington railway station on the Bristol and Exeter Railway from 1 May 1843 until 5 October 1964. It was here that extra locomotives were attached to heavy trains to help them up the incline to Whiteball Tunnel on their way south. The railway from Penzance to London, and also to Bristol and the North, continue to pass through the town, but no trains stop. The nearest railway stations are Taunton and Tiverton Parkway. A campaign was started to reopen the railway station in 2009.

Wellington is a town in the unitary authority of Telford and Wrekin and ceremonial county of Shropshire, England and now forms part of the new town of Telford, with which it has gradually become contiguous.
The total town population of Wellington was 25,554 in 2011 making it by far the largest of the borough towns and the third largest town in Shropshire when counted independently from Telford. However, the town centre serves a greater area of approximately 60,000.
Wellington's first market charter was granted to Giles of Erdington, lord of the manor, and is dated 1244 and a market still exists today. To the north-east of the town is the site of Apley Castle, originally a fourteenth-century fortified manor house, the remains of which were converted into a stable block with the building of a grand Georgian house, which was itself demolished in the 1950s. The surviving stable block has been converted into apartments and retains some medieval features.
Dawley New Town was designated by the Government in 1963, and was expanded to encompass Wellington in 1968 under the new name of Telford, named for the great engineer and first county surveyor of Shropshire, Thomas Telford. The creation of Telford has divided opinion in Wellington ever since, with some celebrating the jobs and investment it brought to the area and others bemoaning the negative impact on Wellington's own economy – as well as its status and sense of identity. The development of Telford Town Centre since the 1970s has hit Wellington's retail centre hard. In addition, moves such as the renaming of the local football team from Wellington Town to Telford United highlighted to many that Wellington was being erased as a town in its own right.
The Wrekin, one of Shropshire's most famous landmarks, provides Wellington with a rolling green backdrop to the south-west. Located just two miles from the centre of the town, it brings tens of thousands of walkers and cyclists to Wellington every year.
Located in the town's Victorian market hall, Wellington Market operates four days a week and houses over 100 stalls. A Farmers' Market takes place on the fourth Saturday of the month, bringing together several Shropshire food producers and retailers in the market's historic home of Market Square.
A short walk from the centre of the town is Sunnycroft, a Victorian villa and mini-estate now owned and run by the National Trust.
The New Buck's Head football stadium, home to A.F.C. Telford United, is in Wellington. Other sporting clubs include the Wellington Cricket Club, currently in the Birmingham League Premier Division, and Wrekin Golf Club. Wellington is home to the Belfrey Theatre an amateur venue run by the Wellington Theatre Company which puts on an annual season of plays and other shows.

Walking around the Bucklers Forest at Bucklers Park (former TRL test track site, Crowthorne)
This video quickly explores the new Buckler’s Forest walk at the former Transport Research Laboratory (TRL) test track in Crowthorne, England. The former test track site still has the old road route, banked curve and fire tower.
It was a very cold morning so there are a few sites not shown in this video so you’ll have to explore them yourselves.
Hidden Village of Galboly - Carnlough - County Antrim - Northern Ireland
Village caché de Galboly - Carnlough - Comté d'Antrim - Irlande du Nord
Coordonnées GPS: 55°03'26.8N 5°58'52.5W
Ce village est situé dans la vallée de Glencloy. Il n'est pas visible de la route puisqu'il est entouré d'arbres.
Au milieu du XIXe siècle, on y comptait une soixantaine d'habitants. Ceux-ci étaient principalement des agriculteurs. Cent ans plus tard, on n'y comptait que six habitants.
Les habitants auraient déserté le village suite à la modification des pratiques agricoles et de la mécanisation.
De plus, l'approvisionnement en eau potable était un réel problème puisque les habitants devaient s'approvisionner à partir d'une source située près de la route côtière.
Nous avons laissé notre véhicule sur le stationnement qui se trouve en bordure de la route Garron (A2) et nous avons poursuivi à pied dans la vallée pour nous rendre jusqu'à ce village.
La randonnée débute en face du stationnement. Il suffit de suivre le chemin tracé dans la vallée. Il y a une barrière que l'on doit ouvrir et refermer aussitôt derrière nous afin d'éviter que les moutons ne s'échappent.
Nous avons d'abord monté une pente plutôt abrupte. Au sommet de cette pente, il y a une autre barrière. Lors de notre passage, elle était ouverte. Nous sommes entrés dans cette section de la vallée et avons longé le muret en pierre.
Après quelques minutes de marche, nous avons aperçu enfin le premier bâtiment (Lower Galboly) qui consistait en une ferme. En nous approchant de ce bâtiment, les autres bâtiments du village se sont dévoilés un à un.
Les bâtiments n'ont pas leurs toits d'origine. A l'époque, ceux-ci possédaient plutôt des toits de chaume.
Malgré que ce village soit en ruine, il possède un charme fou. Il suffit de voir au-delà des apparences et nous imaginer comment était la vie ici même il y a près de deux siècles.
Pour ceux qui le désirent, la randonnée peut se poursuivre jusqu'au sommet de la montagne. J'en ai parcouru un petit bout, suffisamment cependant pour avoir une vue d'ensemble du village.
Plus on avance vers le sommet, plus le panorama est sensationnel, ayant ainsi l'opportunité d'avoir une magnifique vue d'ensemble de toute la région.

The Obelisk - Camberley
Camberley Obelisk (also known as Norris's Obelisk or Norris's Whim) is a brick tower at the top of a hill in Camberley, Surrey, England.
The tower was built by John Norris (1721--1786) in about 1765--1770. The top section of the tower was destroyed by fire in the early 1880s. It is a Grade II listed building.
An Old Hunstanton Circular. 13/2/19.
Almost 9 miles (though 'officially' 7.5) of walking in Norfolk on another very pleasant Winter's day.
Unusually, this walker was back in NW Norfolk so shortly after the last outing, so another local walk was undertaken. This one courtesy of 'AA Walks: Old Hunstanton's Dunes'. And a very pleasing, varied walk it was, with decent weather conditions as well.
The walker starts from the Holme-next-the-Sea, Beach Road, bus-stop and heads South along the Peddars Way to Ringstead. St Andrew's church is visited and that's where the Kestrel on the telegraph pole was seen.
Then, it's along a busy country lane prior to entering Ringstead Downs, which made for a pleasant section of walking.
Lunch was had by the duck pond opposite the historic church of St Mary the Virgin, close to the gates of Hunstanton Hall. This church is well worth a visit as it has a 500 year old Rood screen, and has strong connections with the Le Strange family.
The route then continues past the fringes of Hunstanton and onto the sand dunes. The Norfolk Coast Path is then followed Eastwards as far as the finger post for Holmes Dunes National Nature Reserve. From there, it's a Southerly walk along the Peddars Way back to the bus-stop.
