The Best Attractions In Somerford Keynes

1. The Cotswold Range Somerford Keynes
The River Thames, known alternatively in parts as the Isis, is a river that flows through southern England including London. At 215 miles , it is the longest river entirely in England and the second longest in the United Kingdom, after the River Severn. It flows through Oxford , Reading, Henley-on-Thames and Windsor. The lower reaches of the river are called the Tideway, derived from its long tidal reach up to Teddington Lock. It rises at Thames Head in Gloucestershire, and flows into the North Sea via the Thames Estuary. The Thames drains the whole of Greater London.Its tidal section, reaching up to Teddington Lock, includes most of its London stretch and has a rise and fall of 23 feet .

4. Stonehenge Amesbury
Stonehenge is a prehistoric monument in Wiltshire, England, 2 miles west of Amesbury. It consists of a ring of standing stones, with each standing stone around 13 feet high, 7 feet wide and weighing around 25 tons. The stones are set within earthworks in the middle of the most dense complex of Neolithic and Bronze Age monuments in England, including several hundred burial mounds.Archaeologists believe it was constructed from 3000 BC to 2000 BC. The surrounding circular earth bank and ditch, which constitute the earliest phase of the monument, have been dated to about 3100 BC. Radiocarbon dating suggests that the first bluestones were raised between 2400 and 2200 BC, although they may have been at the site as early as 3000 BC.One of the most famous landmarks in the United Kingdom, Stoneheng...

6. Blenheim Palace Woodstock
Blenheim & Woodstock was a railway station constructed in the neoclassical style which served the town of Woodstock and Blenheim Palace in the English county of Oxfordshire. The station, as well as the line, was constructed by the Duke of Marlborough and was privately run until 1897 when it became part of the Great Western Railway. The number of trains serving the station was cut in the late 1930s, and again in 1952 down to only six trains a day. The last train ran on 27 February 1954 adorned with a wreath. The station building was initially converted into a garage and petrol station. Then the forecourt of the site was no longer used as a petrol station, but for used car sales only with a building company using some of the land behind the station. There were proposals for demolishing the b...

7. Avebury Stone Circle Avebury
Avebury is a Neolithic henge monument containing three stone circles, around the village of Avebury in Wiltshire, in southwest England. One of the best known prehistoric sites in Britain, it contains the largest megalithic stone circle in the world. It is both a tourist attraction and a place of religious importance to contemporary pagans. Constructed over several hundred years in the Third Millennium BC, during the Neolithic, or New Stone Age, the monument comprises a large henge with a large outer stone circle and two separate smaller stone circles situated inside the centre of the monument. Its original purpose is unknown, although archaeologists believe that it was most likely used for some form of ritual or ceremony. The Avebury monument is a part of a larger prehistoric landscape con...

8. Sudeley Castle Winchcombe
Sudeley Castle is located in the Cotswolds near Winchcombe, Gloucestershire, England. The present structure was built in the 15th century and may have been on the site of a 12th-century castle. The castle has a notable garden, which is designed and maintained to a very high standard. The chapel, St. Mary's Sudeley, is the burial place of Queen Catherine Parr , the sixth wife of King Henry VIII, and contains her marble tomb. Unusually for a castle chapel, St Mary's of Sudeley is part of the local parish of the Church of England. Sudeley is also one of the few castles left in England that is still a residence. As a result, the castle is only open to visitors on specific dates, and private family quarters are closed to the public. It is a Grade I listed building, and recognised as an internat...

Saturday Evening on the West Coast Mainline, at Linslade | 19/08/17

This video is property of Train_PlaneHub, RachaelMatt

2160p 4K HD!

Possibly one of the best line side locations for filming on the West Coast Mainline, Linslade Curve, which is just north of Leighton Buzzard. Decided to stop off for just over half hour during dusk on a mild, August evening. Always a good vantage point to catch Pendo's & Voyagers tilting. During the first part of the video the fast lines were open, however as normal on a Saturday evening, Network Rail take possession of 2 of the 4 lines for routine weekend engineering. So this weekend the fast lines were closed, meaning that during the latter part of the video you'll notice all traffic on the slow lines.
A good variety of trains, considering I was only there just over half an hour.

INCLUDES: Virgin Pendolino's & Voyagers, London Midland 350's, GBRF 66, DB Schenker 66 and class 37! (37800) dragging a South Eastern class 375 to Wolverton works for refurbishment!

Not bad going for half an hour on a Saturday evening.

Thanks for watching

Trainspotting at Newcastle (Central), ECML - 26/5/18 [TSE S5E14 - Series Finale]

Hi all and welcome to another video from TrainSpotEast where I am at Newcastle, where we see services from VTEC (the last appearance ever), CrossCountry, Northern and TransPennine Express.

Look out for:
- 91101 Flying Scotsman
- 91114 Durham Cathedral
- 43274 Spirit of Sunderland
- Scotrail 156 unit stabled
- CrossCountry Deformed 221, 221144
- Network Rail New Measurement Train/Flying Banana

Newcastle is a fantastic station, this has stunning architecture with a canopy, the views either way are fantastic, especially the south where it heads towards the bridge, the vantage points are brilliant with fantastic traction and frequency despite a few delays. Just one freight and a special was helpful to make this station more enjoyable. I will return there with normal services resumed from CrossCountry that start or leave here towards Reading/Southampton. Highly recommended to all.

A massive thanks to Virgin Trains East Coast for the work you have done over the three years, brilliant trains, helpful staff and even some great drivers, let's hope LNER can do better when I return to that area next time.

Cross Country HST Diversion to Newport, South Wales!

This video is property of Train_PlaneHub, RachaelMatt

1080p HD!

Onboard a Cross Country HST, 43204 + 43301 from Cheltenham Spa to Bristol Temple Meads on Saturday 18th February 2017. However, the journey wasn't quite so straight forward. Due to engineering works near Yate, services to & from Bristol and the South West were being diverted into Gloucester, then onwards through Lydney, Chepstow, Severn Tunnel Junction and into Newport! (South Wales). Before turning round, heading back through Severn Tunnel Junction station, but this time going into the Tunnel, back into England and into Bristol Parkway. Where we change direction again and rejoin the normal route into Bristol Temple Meads. So quite the detour. Cheltenham to Bristol, but via Wales first...
Something a little different anyway, so thought I'd get some footage of it. As you don't see a Cross Country HST venture into Wales very often. So that's quite rare.

Thanks for watching

On board 'The Cathedrals Express' | Rugby to Southall | 03.09.2015

On the 3rd September, 2015, I travelled onboard 'The Cathedrals Express' from Rugby to Bristol Temple Meads, via the West Coast Mainline to WIllesden, and then using the freight lines to Acton to join the Great Western Mainline.

Although, less than 24 hours before departure, our 'Steam Dreams' soon fell through, as the men equipped with rulers at Network Rail, deemed the Duchess out of gauge on the Great Western Mainline around Bath with 71 problems after major engineering works in the area, 17 of which, prohibited the Duchess to pass, 2 of the spots, including the bridges at either end of Bath station.

Because of this, the Duchess was only able to do part of the 'Down' run, the Rugby to Southall Loop section, before moving light engine to the depot at Southall Loco Services Ltd. to have her fire disposed and put to rest.

In this shortened video, we see the Duchess working parts of the Rugby to Southall leg, including the arrival into Rugby Platform 6, Long Buckby, Northampton stop, Milton Keynes stop, The Willesden lines and so on. I did not bother to film the 47 sections as I was in my seat for pretty much the rest of the trip.
