St Bride's church off Fleet Street was built in 1672 by Sr Christopher Wren and is the tallest of his churches excluding St Paul's. It was actually the inspiration for a pastry chef called William Rich, who had his bakery on Ludgate Hill, to design the first tiered wedding cake.
The Old Bell Pub was built especially for those workmen building the church and appears in a famous almanac of the day called Epicure's Almanac, a bit like a restaurant guide.
Just around the corner is Salisbury Square where Frederick Duke of York, second son of King George lll burned 10 000 copies of his ex-lover's memoirs. Mary Anne Clark was upset that she was unceremoniously dumped without so much as a town house to show for it, so she disclosed all the steamy tales of passion between them.
The Duke was horrified and bought all 10 000 copies and burned them…and Mary Anne Clark got her pension!

St Davids or St David's is a city, parish and community in Pembrokeshire, Wales. Lying on the River Alun on St Davids Peninsula, St Davids is Britain's smallest city in terms of both size and population the final resting place of Saint David, Wales's patron saint, and the de facto ecclesiastical capital of Wales. St Davids was given city status in the 16th century because of St David's Cathedral. City status was lost in 1888 but restored in 1994, at the request of Queen Elizabeth II.
In 1991 St Davids town council proposed that a case for city status, which the residents had long considered it to have anyway, should be promoted in connection with the 40th anniversary of the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II, and in 1992 the Home Office agreed to refer the matter to Buckingham Palace. In 1994, at the request of the Queen, St Davids was again granted city status along with the Northern Irish town of Armagh, In recognition of their important Christian heritage and their status as cities in the last century. The letters patent conferring city status were formally presented by the Queen in a ceremony at St David's Cathedral on 1 June 1995.
Next to the St Davids cathedral, the 13th-century Bishop's Palace is a ruin maintained by Cadw and open to visitors. St Davids was once a marcher borough, within which lay the hundred of Dewisland. In 1603, the antiquarian George Owen described it as one of five Pembrokeshire boroughs overseen by a portreeve. Saint Non's Well overlooks the Pembrokeshire Coast Path and St Brides Bay.
In addition to the cathedral, notable features of the city include the 14th-century Tower Gate, the Celtic Old Cross and a number of art galleries. St Davids is also a base for walking and water sports. It has several hotels, a pharmacy, shops and galleries, a youth hostel and a number of pubs. The entire coastline around St Davids forms part of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park.
St Davids Lifeboat Station, at St Justinian, has saved an estimated 360 people since the first lifeboat was located there in 1869; four lifeboatmen have died while saving others. The Irish Sea area includes a large number of offshore rocks and islands and is notorious for strong tides.

Places to see in ( Solva - UK )
Solva is a village and community in Pembrokeshire, Wales, comprising principally Lower Solva and Upper Solva. Solva lies on the north side of St Bride's Bay, in North Pembrokeshire in the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park and on the Pembrokeshire Coast Path. It lies on a deep valley at the mouth of the River Solva. In the valley is Lower Solva, consisting of a long street ending at the small harbour. Most of the modern development has been in Upper Solva, on the cliff top to the west of the harbour.
The village church honors Saint Aidan and is part of the parish of Whitchurch.[3]
The rocks at the entrance to Solva Harbour made it one of the most sheltered anchorages between Fishguard and Milford Haven. Solva became the main trading centre of St Bride's Bay in the medieval period, and was important for lime burning. Several lime kilns are preserved in the harbour area. In the 19th century, Solva had around 30 registered trading ships. The fading coastal trade has been replaced by tourism, and the harbour is now a popular boating centre. The village was the location for Wales' first butterfly farm, Solva Nectarium, which opened in 1979.
Every year on Easter Monday Solva hosts a Duck Race for charity. The ducks are released into the River Solva near Middle Mill and float down stream to Solva harbour. The winner is the first to cross under the footbridge in lower Solva car park. Each summer, Solva hosts a Regatta which features rowing for adults and children.
The spectacular local cliff coast is popular with walkers, and the classic cliff exposures of Cambrian rocks attract amateur and professional geologists. Solva Woollen Mill, located at the nearby village of Middle Mill, claims to be the oldest continuously working woollen mill in Pembrokeshire. Today the mill mostly manufactures carpets and rugs. There is a tearoom and a shop, and visitors are able to see the looms at work. Solva Harbour is a good example of a flooded valley known as a ria. Local rocks contain fossils from the Cambrian period. and the village gives its name to this rock sequence.

Places to see in ( Laugharne - UK )
Places to see in ( Laugharne - UK )
Laugharne is a town in Carmarthenshire, Wales, lying on the estuary of the River Tâf. It is known for having been the home of Dylan Thomas from 1949 until his death in 1953, and is thought to have been an inspiration for the fictional town of Llareggub in Under Milk Wood.
A castle, known originally as the Castle of Abercorran, existed in Laugharne before the Norman Conquest and belonged to the princes of South Wales. Henry II visited it in 1172 on his return from Ireland and made peace with Prince Rhys of Dinefwr. Through the marriage of Prince Rhys' daughter, the castle passed to Sir Guy de Brian, who had been Lord High Admiral of England. His daughter Elizabeth inherited the castle and married Owen Laugharne of St. Bride's who gave his name to the castle.
Laugharne Corporation is an almost unique institution, and, together with the City of London Corporation, the last surviving mediæval corporation in the United Kingdom. The Corporation was established in 1291 by Sir Guy de Brian (Gui de Brienne), a Marcher Lord. The Corporation is presided over by the Portreeve, wearing his traditional chain of gold cockle shells, (one added by each portreeve, with his name and date of tenure on the reverse), the Aldermen, and the body of Burgesses.
The famous Charter of Laugharne, which the corporation was founded by, came about during a tempestuous time in local Welsh history. Henry II (Plantagenet) held a parley with Rhys ap Gruffydd at Laugharne Castle in 1172. After Henry’s death, Rhys seized St. Clears, Llanstephan and Laugharne, and then lost them again to the crown.
Attractions in the town include the 12th-century Laugharne Castle, the town hall and the birdlife of the estuary. Architecturally, Laugharne contains many fine examples of Georgian townhouses, including Great House and Castle House, both grade II* listed buildings, with a scattering of earlier vernacular cottages. There are a number of landmarks in Laugharne connected with the poet and writer Dylan Thomas. These include the Dylan Thomas Birthday Walk, which was the setting for the work Poem in October, and The Boathouse, where he lived with his family from 1949 to 1953; it is now a museum.
Each year in the spring, Laugharne hosts a three-day arts festival, the Laugharne Weekend. The festival's was inaugurated in 2007 featuring writers such as Niall Griffiths and Patrick McCabe. Headline performers since then have included Ray Davies, Will Self, Howard Marks and Patti Smith. Although the town's Millennium Hall was used as the main venue, smaller events were hosted by local venues including Dylan Thomas's Boathouse.

Bride Killed in Helicopter Crash (Warning: Distressing Footage)
Warning: This is a distressing video. A video has been released showing a helicopter crash that killed four people on board a helicopter en-route to a wedding (December, 2016). The 32-year-old bride, Rosemere do Nascimento, had planned to surprise her fiancé Udirley Damasceno, who was waiting at the altar when the chopper crash landed a mile from the reception venue in a rural area on the outskirts of Sao Paulo in Brazil.
While it's *generally* unfair to speculate, the R44 piston machine was in what clearly appears to be IMC. Watch what happens to the aggressive bank around the 1:42 min mark before control is lost. It was careless flying.
All occupants (including a pregnant photopgrapher, Nayla Cristina Neves) were killed.

Journeys: Pembrokeshire, Wales -- Castles and Coast
Pembrokeshire in Wales is a hidden national treasure with beautiful gardens, the only National Coast Park in Britain, and the Landsker, a line of castles and strongholds built in the 11th century by Normans to act as a barrier between England and Wales. We visit Pembroke Castle, where Henry Tudor was born, and which was the centre for Norman rule in West Wales, and Carew Castle built on the site of an Iron Age fort. Picton and Upton Castles, Saundersfoot and Colby have magnificent gardens and for scenery we were blown away by the sweeping crescent of jagged cliffs, sandy beaches, and incredible sea views along the 186 mile Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Path. For more information visit ontopoftheworld.net and check out episode #6 in Journeys through the British Isles.
