Visit Dover Castle 2019, England 4K
Visit Dover Castle 2019, England 4K
Dover Castle is a medieval castle in Dover, Kent, England. It was founded in the 11th century and has been described as the Key to England due to its defensive significance throughout history. It is the largest castle in England.
The site has been in use for as many as 2000 years. On the vast grounds are the remains of a Roman lighthouse, which dates from AD 50 and may be the oldest standing building in Britain. Beside it lies the restored Saxon Church of St Mary in Castro.
The robust 12th-century Great Tower, with walls up to 7m thick, is a medieval warren filled with interactive exhibits and light-and-sound shows that take visitors back to the times of Henry II.
However the biggest draw of all is the network of secret wartime tunnels. The claustrophobic chalk-hewn passageways were first excavated during the Napoleonic Wars and then expanded to house a command post and hospital in WWII. The highly enjoyable 50-minute guided tour (every 20 minutes, included in the ticket price) tells the story of one of Britain's most famous wartime operations, code-named Dynamo, which was directed from here in 1940 and saw hundreds of thousands of men evacuated from the beaches at Dunkirk. The story is told in a very effective way, with video projected sharply onto the tunnel walls and sounds rumbling through the rock. At one point, the entire passageway is consumed in flames and at others visitors are plunged into complete darkness.

Dover Castle is a Scheduled Monument, which means it is a nationally important historic building and archaeological site that has been given protection against unauthorised change. It is also a Grade I listed building, and recognised as an internationally important structure. The castle, secret tunnels, and surrounding land are now owned by English Heritage and the site is a major tourist attraction. The Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports is officially head of the castle, in his conjoint position of Constable of Dover Castle, and the Deputy Constable has his residence in Constable's Gate.
The Princess of Wales's Royal Regiment Museum is located in the castle.
Between 2007 and 2009, English Heritage spent £2.45 million on recreating the castle's interior. According to figures released by the Association of Leading Visitor Attractions, nearly 350,000 people visited Dover Castle in 2010.

Why Go to Niagara Falls
It's not hard to understand why many consider Niagara Falls a top natural wonder of the world. Or why it has been the location of some incredible (and now illegal) daredevil antics over the years. The second you see the mammoth Niagara River rumbling toward a 170-foot waterfall at about 20 to 30 (and up to 68) miles an hour, your mouth will drop. The speed at which the river falls creates a misty fog and an unmistakable roar heard from miles away. From the top, crowds flock to the railings to feel the mist on their faces. As you follow the water's path downward, boats, platforms and observation decks support colorful poncho-clad visitors.
Over the years Niagara has gone from classic honeymoon spot to cheesy honeymoon spot, and, now, an odd mix of the two. In addition to the stunning waterfalls, there is a large concentration of quickie wedding chapels and hotels backlit in blaring neon. But strolling through the icewine vineyards of the nearby Inniskillin Winery is truly romantic, as is enjoying the lush landscape at the Niagara Parks Botanical Gardens. If you have the kiddos, you can bring them to the Aquarium of Niagara or MarineLand. So hop in the two-seater with your special someone or pack your family in the minivan and take a spectacular daytrip to the majestic Niagara Falls.
How to Save Money in Niagara Falls
Falling for it In the fall, the room rates have decreased with the descending temperatures, but the attractions are still all open.
Falling for it again Around the falls, eager vendors sell kitschy souvenirs and bottled drinks at high prices. Don't be a sucker for them.
Be wary of Lady Luck Trying your hand at a blackjack or the slots can be very dangerous for your wallet.
Culture & Customs
Despite its somewhat cheesy reputation, Niagara Falls harbors a history dating back thousands of years. The falls themselves were formed by the Wisconsin Glacier during the ice age, and the area was settled by numerous groups, including the Iroquois Native American nations, the French and the British. Visitors can learn more about Niagara Falls' history at the several museums and historical sites in the area.
U.S. travelers will feel a sense of familiarity crossing over into the Canadian half of Niagara Falls. Although Canada has two official languages, English is more prevalent than French in Niagara Falls.
Similar to the United States, it is customary to leave a 15- to 20-percent tip for quality service at restaurants, though larger groups will find it included in the fee. A small tip is also appreciated for hotel workers.
What to Eat
Those looking for a gourmet dining scene will be disappointed in Niagara Falls. The majority of dining options in the area are fast food and chain restaurants. A handful of more upscale establishments and international restaurants are available, though mainly clustered on the Canadian side.
Safety
Although it welcomes a large number of tourists every year, Niagara Falls is still a relatively small and safe town. According to , The local authorities know to expect millions of tourists unfamiliar with the area to be visiting every year, and they know how to keep them safe. However, that doesn't mean you shouldn't use common sense. Keep a close eye on your personal items, especially in more crowded areas.
Getting Around Niagara Falls
The best way to get around Niagara Falls is on foot. Walking around the area is relatively easy (when there is no snow). Even getting across the United States to Canada border is only a 20-minute walk across the Rainbow Bridge. Attractions are generally close together and within walking distance. And if your feet are feeling a bit weary, you can hop on the area's efficient and convenient shuttle. Having a car can make your trip more stressful, since roads are prone to congestion and parking is very expensive. Most travelers, who don't drive, fly into Buffalo Niagara International Airport (BUF), about 30 miles southeast of the falls. From BUF, there are shuttles to both sides of the falls. Rental cars also are available at the airport.
Entry & Exit Requirements
At Niagara Falls, you can cross from the U.S. into Canada over the Rainbow Bridge, though all persons (including children) must have a passport or proof of identity. For children, a birth certificate will suffice; if the children are not yours, a birth certificate and a hand-written note from the parents are required. A toll will be charged, too. Visit the Canada Border Services Agency website for the latest information on foreign exit and entry requirements.

Touring Bath And Lacock - Day 2 On The Great West Way, Bath To Devizes
Exploring Bath, Somerset - it’s the second day of the #TheGreatWestWay trip and we take a tour of the Roman Baths. There is a good audio guide and usually a few Roman characters to interact with along the way so you can practice your Monty Python “What have the Romans ever done for us?”
Watch the full Great West Way trip:
As Mel is a jewellery fan we had chance to visit Nicholas Wylde jewellers in the centre of Bath. The city has lots of independent retailers and there is lots of great shopping so watch your credit card. There is plenty to do in Bath and its definitely worth spending at least a couple of days there.
Before lunch it was tour time with Around And About Bath, a tour is one of the best way to get to know a city. You can find out more about the main sites, also the more unusual and darker side of Georgian life (we left out the toilet references!)
After lunch at Koffmann And Mr White’s which is in the centre of the city just behind bath Abbey it was off to the village of Lacock and Lacock Abbey. Lacock is a quaint Wiltshire village and Lacock Abbey has been used as a film location in a number of famous films. The biggest being Harry Potter.
Finally it was a dash to Devizes Marina, Wiltshire for a stay at the Devizes Marina lodge which overlooks the canal boats, our lodge had a hot tub on the deck area, a great way to relax!

Maeklong Railway Market | Bangkok Thailand
Maekhlong Train Market. The Maeklong Train Market (ตลาดแม่กลอง) is a most unusual market because a train passes through the market four times a day. For more about the market see travel2next.com
Maeklong Railway Market is certainly unique. The market is a day trip from Bangkok and definitely worth a visit.
When the train comes through, the market vendors leap into action to roll back their awnings and push their stalls out of the way of the oncoming train.
As soon as the train passes, the stalls are pushed back into place and it’s business as usual.
Here’s a tip. Maeklong Railway Market can get pretty crowded so if you want a good vantage point of the train, grab a seat in one of the local cafes and order a coffee or tea while you wait.
