12 Things Not To Do In Edinburgh
What are the don'ts of visiting Edinburgh, Scotland? Visit Edinburgh, a city that is a treasure trove of history and culture and is well worth the trip. The fact that it is so unique, though, also means that there are many chances for you to make a fool of yourself while going about it.
When traveling to Edinburgh, following are some of the most typical errors that tourists make. But don’t worry! The worst thing that may happen to you as a result of making any of these blunders is catching a cold and perhaps getting some funny stares from the locals. However, being well-prepared will not only make your trip to the Scottish capital more pleasurable but can also save you a little bit of money and clear up some of the misunderstanding you may encounter there.
1. Putting in an order for a single malt whiskey served over ice
Or even worse, with a Coca-Cola
It is easy to see why Scots are so proud of their whiskey. A complicated beverage that is as refined as any French wine has been crafted by using generations' worth of experience and years' worth of maturing. If you ask for your single malt to be served on the rocks, a knowledgeable bartender will highly recommend that you drink it neat first (the way it was intended to be served), and if required, add a few drops of water to your glass. Those with less discernment will put the ice in the glass, but they will be evaluating you while they do so. If you spoil the flavor of a perfectly nice dram by adding Coke to it, the grading will be that much more rigorous.
2. You shouldn't just drink whiskey all the time.
During your time in Edinburgh, you should definitely have a few drams of the water of life, but save the distillery tours for when you're in the Highlands and Islands. It's possible that this picture contains Table Chairs for Restaurants Cafes and Dining Tables Furniture Chairs Wooden Chamber and the Interior.
Gin is big in Edinburgh: It is reported that the city has the highest per capita consumption of gin in the whole United Kingdom. You may take a tour of the Edinburgh Gin distillery, and then go to the Heads & Tales pub for a drink afterward. Similarly, in the Summerhall arts theatre's Dick's Bar, you can have Pickering's Gin, which is produced in the building next door, straight from the tap. The 56 North gin stockpile is the most extensive in all of Scotland, including more than 170 individual bottles.
3. Ignoring the raincoat
Even during the warmest months of the year, the weather in Scotland is famously unpredictable. It's been stated that whether the sky is clear or overcast, you shouldn't put too much stock in either one since you never know what the weather may bring. Even if you want to travel to Edinburgh in the middle of the summer, you should still bring a decent raincoat that is waterproof with you. Otherwise, you run the risk of being soaked. It is not worth your time to make an effort to control the situation using an umbrella since it will not hold up for long in the often-strong gusts.

Places to see in ( Lynmouth - UK )
Lynmouth is a village in Devon, England, on the northern edge of Exmoor. The village straddles the confluence of the West Lyn and East Lyn rivers, in a gorge 700 feet below Lynton, which was the only place to expand to once Lynmouth became as built-up as possible. Both villages are connected by the Lynton and Lynmouth Cliff Railway, which works two cable-connected cars by gravity, using water tanks.
The two villages are a civil parish governed by Lynton and Lynmouth Town Council. The parish boundaries extend southwards from the coast, and include hamlets such as Barbrook and small moorland settlements such as East Ilkerton, West Ilkerton and Shallowford.
The South West Coast Path and Tarka Trail pass through, and the Two Moors Way runs from Ivybridge in South Devon to Lynmouth; the Samaritans Way South West runs from Bristol to Lynton, and the Coleridge Way from Nether Stowey to Lynmouth. Lynmouth was described by Thomas Gainsborough, who honeymooned there with his bride Margaret Burr, as the most delightful place for a landscape painter this country can boast.
The Sillery Sands beach [a] is just off the South West Coast Path and is used by naturists. Percy Bysshe Shelley, his wife Harriet and his sister-in-law Eliza stayed in Lynmouth between June and August 1812. Shelley worked on political pamphlets and on the poem Queen Mab. He was delighted with the village.
A lifeboat station was established in Lynmouth on 20 January 1869, five months after the sailing vessel Home was wrecked nearby. The lifeboat was kept in a shed on the beach, until a purpose-built boat house was built at the harbour. The village of Hollow Bay in The Secret of Crickley Hall by James Herbert is based on Lynmouth; Devil's Cleave is based on the East Lyn Valley and Watersmeet. The book brings together two stories, that of child evacuees during the Second World War and that of the 1952 flood disaster that devastated Lynmouth.

Places to see in ( Stockbridge - UK )
Places to see in ( Stockbridge - UK )
Stockbridge is a small town, civil parish and conservation area in west Hampshire, England, 65 miles from London. It has an area of 1,323 acres and a population of little under 600 people according to the 2001 census. It sits astride the Test and at the foot of Stockbridge Down. It is in the Test Valley borough which shares local government with Hampshire County Council.
The A30 road goes through the town, which once carried most of the traffic from London to Dorset, south Somerset, Devon and Cornwall in the South West. However, engineering of the A303 dual carriageway today provides a flatter, unimpeded route in the north by Andover used for travel between the regions mentioned, just as the M4 replaced the A4. The bridge over the Test led to the town's name,[3] allegedly as a coach stop where provisions (stock) could be taken aboard, in fact because an earlier bridge was made of stocks, that is to say tree trunks. Salisbury is 15 miles (24 km) by road; Winchester is 8.3 miles (13.4 km) by the B3049 road that joins the A30 by the town. This historic town is en route from the medieval cathedral cities of Winchester and Salisbury.
The town's street crosses the River Test, marking the border of the parishes of Stockbridge and Longstock by a low bridge of three arches rebuilt and widened in 1799. Five smaller river channels flow through the town. For a brief time, to provide space for fish, these were split into eight artificial ditches just above the town. The town is on a shared pedestrian/footpath, the Test Way.
The place-name 'Stockbridge' is first attested in Charter Rolls of 1239, where it appears as Stocbrigge. In Inquisitiones post mortem of 1258 it appears as Stokbregg. The name means 'stock bridge', referring to a bridge constructed from stocks (meaning 'tree trunks'). Stockbridge was the scene of the capture of Robert of Gloucester by William of Ypres in 1141. Edward I stayed in Stockbridge in August 1294, as did the last Catholic King, James II, on his way to Salisbury to meet the forces of the Prince of Orange. He dined at the Swan Inn in November 1688, which still exists.

10 REASONS WHY PEOPLE LOVE BATH ENGLAND
This video will provide 10 REASONS WHY PEOPLE LOVE BATH ENGLAND. These are not ALL the reasons why people love Bath and if you have a reason why you love Bath, put it in the comment section and I will make another video.

Bath is a city in the Bath and North East Somerset unitary area in the county of Somerset, England, known for and named after its Roman-built baths. In 2022, the population was 108,326. Bath is in the valley of the River Avon, 97 miles west of London and 11 miles southeast of Bristol.
The city of Bath in South West England was founded in the 1st century AD by the Romans who used the natural hot springs as a thermal spa. It became an important centre for the wool industry in the Middle Ages but in the 18th century under the reigns of George l, ll and III it developed into an elegant spa city, famed in literature and art.
The City of Bath is of Outstanding Universal Value for the following cultural attributes: The Roman remains, especially the Temple of Sulis Minerva and the baths complex (based around the hot springs at the heart of the Roman town of Aquae Sulis, which have remained at the heart of the City’s development ever since) are amongst the most famous and important Roman remains north of the Alps, and marked the beginning of Bath’s history as a spa town.

Non Touristy Things to Do In London - Dickens Museum and Foundlings
This is a very interesting area and a lovely place to visit for non touristy things to do in London like the Charles Dickens Museum and Foundling Museum, just a stone's throw from Lambs Conduit Street.
Dickens and his wife moved here in 1837 and he wrote Oliver Twist and Pickwick Papers here. They’ve got a bunch of his writing materials, paintings furniture and much more….
In Long Yard is where the original conduit was. William Lamb 1577 paid £1500 to renovate a conduit house in Snow Hill and water was fed off to here from a tributary of River Fleet, which people said tasted ok compared to the later New River which opened.
The Lamb Pub - from 1720 in named after William Lamb. It still has snob screens from Victorian times so you could drink without being observed by the bar staff.
Lambs Conduit Street itself is mostly independent shops cafe, wine bars. No chains. Partially pedestrianised and even the supermarket is run by the community.
Great Ormond Street Hospital originally only had 10 beds (1852) 1st UK hospital dedicated to children.
in 1929 JM Barrie gave all rights of his plays and books to fund the hospital’s research.
The Foundling Museum in Brunswick Square (Coram Fields) - In 1739 Thomas Coram, master mariner was appalled at the amount of children abandoned by their parents so he campaigned for 17 years until George II granted a royal charter for the Foundling Hospital.
Hogarth and Handel helped. Hogarth got people to donate art and Handal performed the Messiah in the chapel.
It became first public art gallery in UK and it’s now the Foundling museum.

Places to see in ( Brentford - UK )
Places to see in ( Brentford - UK )
Brentford is a town in west London, England, historic county town of Middlesex and part of the London Borough of Hounslow, at the confluence of the River Brent and the Thames, 8 miles west-by-southwest of Charing Cross. Its economy has diverse company headquarters buildings which mark the start of the M4 corridor; in transport it also has two railway stations and the Boston Manor tube station on its north-west border with Hanwell. Brentford has a convenience shopping and dining venue grid of streets at its centre.
Brentford at the start of the 21st century attracted regeneration of its little-used warehouse premises and docks including the re-modelling of the waterfront to provide more economically active shops, townhouses and apartments, some of which comprises Brentford Dock. A 19th and 20th centuries mixed social and private housing locality: New Brentford is contiguous with the Osterley neighbourhood of Isleworth and Syon Park and the Great West Road which has most of the largest business premises.
Syon House, the London residence of the Duke of Northumberland, is a large mansion and park in Syon ward, described above, that has long been shared with Isleworth. Some of its seasonally marshy land is now a public nature reserve. The estate has a hotel (Hilton London Syon Park), visitor centre and garden centre. Syon Abbey, demolished and replaced (with reworked gatehouses) by the newer mansion, had the largest abbey church in England in the Middle Ages.
Boston Manor House, built in 1622, is a Jacobean manor house, noted for its fine plasterwork ceilings. Syon Park House (demolished in 1953, and not to be confused with Syon House itself) housed the 'Syon Park Academy' where the poet Percy Bysshe Shelley was educated between the ages of 10 and 12 before moving on to Eton. A Royal Mail depot stands on the site now. This may also be the site of the dwelling where Pocahontas lived in Brentford End between 1616 and 1617.
In 1909 a monument was made out of two stone pillars that used to support lamps on the old Brentford bridge over the Grand Union Canal. The monument originally stood at the end of Ferry Lane; after being covered in coal unloaded from boats, it was moved further up the lane in 1955. In 1992 it was moved again to its present site at the junction of Brentford High Street and Alexandra Road, outside the County Court. The monument commemorates four major events in Brentford's history: the supposed crossing of the Thames by Julius Caesar in 54 BC; the council of Brentford by King Offa of Mercia in 781; the defeat of King Canute by King Edmund Ironside at the first Battle of Brentford in 1016; and the second Battle of Brentford in 1642.
Brentford Dock came to single use and engineered enlargement as a freight terminus of the Great Western Railway. It was designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel and built between 1855 and 1859 at the confluence of the River Thames and River Brent. Brentford Public Library is a Carnegie library, built by the architect Nowell Parr and opened in 1904. Outside the library is Brentford War Memorial, accompanied by three smaller war memorials. Brentford Baths (1896), also by the architect Nowell Parr, is a Grade II listed example of late Victorian architecture.

Places to see in ( Harpenden - UK )
Places to see in ( Harpenden - UK )
Harpenden is a town in the St Albans City district in the county of Hertfordshire, England. Harpenden is a commuter town, with a direct rail connection through Central London and property prices well over double the national average.
Geographically Harpenden is located between (and a short distance from) two much larger neighbours: Luton town (to the north) and the city of St Albans (to the south). Harpenden is flanked by the villages of Redbourn (to the west) and Wheathampstead (to the east).
A widespread but now little-known industry of Harpenden was straw-weaving, a trade mainly carried out by women in the nineteenth century. A good straw weaver could make as much as a field labourer. The straw plaits were taken to the specialist markets in St Albans or Luton and bought by dealers to be converted into straw items such as boaters and other hats or bonnets.
The arrival of the railway system from 1860 and the sale of farms for residential development after 1880 radically changed Harpenden's surroundings. First the Dunstable Branch of the Great Northern Railway passed through the Batford area with a station later named Harpenden East railway station (this line is now closed and forms a cycle track).
There are two civil parishes: Harpenden and Harpenden Rural. As Harpenden is located in Hertfordshire just outside London, Harpenden is an area of extremely high property costs. This is common in the region. Harpenden has a large number of its streets named after English literary figures on the East side of the town (an area known, unsurprisingly, as the Poets' Corner), including Byron Road, Cowper Road, Kipling Way, Milton Road, Shakespeare Road, Spenser Road, Shelley Court, Tennyson Road, Townsend Road, Masefield Road and Wordsworth Road.
Harpenden railway station is served by Thameslink on a frequent and fast rail link through central London. Suburban services stop at all stations on the route, while express services stop at St Albans City before continuing non-stop to London St Pancras International, (Harpenden to St Pancras International – 25 minutes). Trains run north to Luton, Luton Airport Parkway and on to Bedford.
The A6 used to run through Harpenden, although the road numbering was changed to avoid congestion. The M1 runs nearby. The closest access to the M1 is Junction 9 at Redbourn & Dunstable or alternatively Junction 10 for Luton & Airport. A number of bus services pass through Harpenden. There are 4 main frequent and reliable routes.
A notable feature of Harpenden is its abundant parks and commons. The central area of Harpenden, known locally as the village is characterised by Church Green, Leyton Green and the High Street Greens, which give the town its provincial feel.
Just to the south of the town centre is Harpenden Common, stretching from the shops in the town centre for more than a mile to the south, encompassing a total of 238 acres (96 ha). Today Harpenden Common hosts two cricket clubs, Harpenden Cricket Club, a Hertfordshire Premier League club that celebrated its 150 anniversary in 2013 and Bamville Cricket Club who play on Sundays on the golf course, a football club, bridle ways for horse riding, ramblers' paths and Harpenden Common Golf Club
