Places to see in ( Winchelsea - UK )
Places to see in ( Winchelsea - UK )
Winchelsea is a small town in the non-metropolitan county of East Sussex, within the historic County of Sussex, England, located between the High Weald and the Romney Marsh, approximately 2 miles south west of Rye and 7 miles north east of Hastings. The town stands on the site of a medieval town, founded in 1288, to replace an earlier town of the same name, sometimes known as Old Winchelsea, which was lost to the sea. The town is part of the civil parish of Icklesham.
It is claimed by some residents that the town is in fact the smallest town in Britain, as there is a mayor and corporation in Winchelsea, but that claim is disputed by places such as Fordwich. The mayor of Winchelsea is chosen each year from amongst the members of the corporation, who are known as freemen, rather than being elected by public vote. New freemen are themselves chosen by existing members of the corporation. Thus, in its current form, the corporation is effectively a relic of Winchelsea's days as a 'rotten borough' (when Winchelsea elected two MPs but the number of voters was restricted to about a dozen, sometimes fewer).
The corporation lost its remaining civil and judicial powers in 1886 but was preserved as a charity by an Act of Parliament to maintain the membership of the Cinque Port Confederation. The mayor and corporation in Winchelsea now have a largely ceremonial role, together with responsibility for the ongoing care and maintenance of the main listed ancient monuments in the town and the Winchelsea museum. Winchelsea constitutes neither a local government district, civil parish nor charter trustees area.
Old Winchelsea was on a massive shingle bank that protected the confluence of the estuaries of the Rivers Brede, Rother and Tillingham and provided a sheltered anchorage called the Camber. The old town was recorded as Winceleseia in 1130 and Old Wynchchelse in 1321.
Today's Winchelsea was the result of the old town's population moving to the present site, when in 1281 King Edward I ordered a planned town, based on a grid, to be built. The names of the town planners are recorded as Henry le Waleys and Thomas Alard. The new town inherited the title of Antient Town from Old Winchelsea and retained its affiliation to the Cinque Ports confederation together with Rye and the five head-ports. Winchelsea was greatly involved in the wine trade with Guyenne and the extensive wine cellars under the town may still be visited on open days.
( Winchelsea - UK ) is well know as a tourist destination because of the variety of places you can enjoy while you are visiting Winchelsea . Through a series of videos we will try to show you recommended places to visit in Winchelsea - UK

Holiday Home Ownership at Hoburne Park - Discover Dorset

Discover the Real Downton Abbey Village at Bampton , Plan your Visit
Bampton Village was used as the location for Downton Abbey Village, the Abbey itself was Highclere Castle some 30 miles away just south of Newbury. See the video to understand how unspoilt Bampton is, how little work was required to return Bampton to Edwardian England. In the video you see Downton's St Michael's Church, Mrs Crawley's house, and along Church View The Cottage Hospital, The Post Office and Dog and Duck Pub. Watch this video to help you plan your trip. The leaflet seen in the video may be found in St Mary the Virgin Church.
I watched the start of the new series and Bampton featured a great deal in Mary's Wedding, her carriage passing the Cottage Hospital and arriving at the green.
Bampton which was previously an isolated Oxfordshire Village with no important through road fears the loss of its privacy. Coachloads of tourists from all over the world are starting to arrive to arrive in sleepy Bampton yet they are not prepared have no tea-rooms, souvenir shop, limited parking etc. The Library (Cottage Hospital in Downton) has some tourist information and sells a few souvenirs however has the usual library opening hours.There is a Coffee Shop in the Market Place plus some lively pubs.
If you manage to visit Bampton soon you will still find it utterly unspoiled. Downton Abbey has just won three Emmys. There are several bed and breakfast's in Bampton , including Wheelgate House, The Coach House and Upham House Bed & Breakfast if you could stay in Bampton that would be the best way to get the period feel of the village
also as many of the villagers have appeared in Down as extras I'm sure you get get to hear real inside information.
Bampton has for generations been renowned for its Morris Dancing traditions which are still celebrated today.
The nearest town to Bampton is Witney, so arrive by London, M40, Oxford, Witney, Bampton.
Some other titbits , Shilton was used for the bus going through a ford scene, the delightful Swan Pub at Swinbrook has also appeared. The current library was formerly a Grammar School and if you look carefully at Bampton in Downton Abbey you will notice the odd TV aerial.
There is a village in England called Downton (Wiltshire/Somerset border) but it has nothing to do with Downton Abbey but has experienced a tourist boom anyway!
The last series is about to begin!

Discover Cornwall with The Camping and Caravanning Club
Boasting the longest stretch of continuous coastline in Britain, it’s easy to see why Cornwall tops the bill for beach breaks. What’s more, almost half of the South West Coast Path is found in Cornwall, which makes it a fantastic choice for walkers. The Camping and Caravanning Club has 4 Club Sites across Cornwall, offering the perfect getaway for beach-lovers and outdoor enthusiasts alike.
Visit the famous Land’s End from our beautiful Sennen Cove Club Site. Sennen beach is within walking distance, and from here you can make a day of it by following the coastal path to Land’s End. Other must-sees include the harbour town of Penzance, Trevarno Gardens, St Ives, and St Michael’s Mount.
Sitting pretty on south Cornwall’s Roseland Peninsula is Veryan, a family-friendly Club Site that’s close to Carne Beach, Pendower Beach and Portholland. Popular day trips include the Lost Gardens of Heligan and the world-famous Eden Project.
Situated along Cornwall’s gorgeous north coast are Bude and Tregurrian Club Sites, which is where you’ll find some of Cornwall’s best-loved beaches. Lovely Bude is a family favourite and boasts a beautiful location between Boscastle and Crackington Haven. Head to Tintagel to discover the legend of King Arthur and explore the clifftop castle ruins. At Tregurrian, you’re close to Newquay and its famous surfing hotspot, Fistral Beach, which is a great spot to learn how to surf. Or, simply kick back on the sands with a steaming Cornish pasty and watch the waves roll in.

Salisbury to Verwood on a Brompton (23/07/2022)
GoPro video of my ride to Verwood over a weekend. I took the train from London to Salisbury and then on from there to Air BnB in Verwood. Final objective: a wonderful party from Beauty and the Beat in Cranborne hosted by Jaminaround.
the date on the intro title is wrong... this ride is from 23rd July 2022, not 2023!
My goal with these videos is of course keep them as mementos of my little adventures. I would love if they can motivate other Brompton owners to set off on their own adventures. Most videos I watch on YouTube show people riding on amazing road/touring/gravel/serious bycicles.
I'm a bit lazy/inept though, so dont expect fancy camera work... It's all about the road ahead and some narration here and there for context. For this video instead of narrating over it, I tried to comment what I was seeing or feeling as I was living and recording it. I like how it turns out, so will follow this approach next time. It also means I swore a lot on some stretches of this particular video... you've been warned.
I also don´t like when videos use music (a lot of it with very poor taste to be honest) and end up drowning the sound of what's happening around the rider.

Dorchester, Historic Market town in Dorset, England (15)
Dorchester is the county town of Dorset, England. A historic market town, Dorchester lies on the banks of the River Frome, in the Frome Valley, just south of the Dorset Downs and north of the South Dorset Ridgeway, that separates the area from Weymouth, eight miles ( 13 km ) south. Dorchester is noted as being home and inspiration to the author Thomas Hardy, whose novel The Mayor of Casterbridge was based on the town.
In 1613 and 1725 great fires destroyed large parts of the town, but some of the mediaeval buildings, including Judge Jeffrey's lodgings, and the Tudor almshouse survives in the town centre, amongst the replacement Georgian buildings, many of which are built in Portland limestone. In the 17th century the town was at the centre of the Puritan emigration to America, and the local rector, John White, organised the settlement of Dorchester, Massachusetts. For his efforts on behalf of Puritan dissenters, White has been called the unheralded founder of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. In 1642, just before the English Civil War, Hugh Green, a Catholic chaplain was executed here. After his execution, Puritans played football with his head. The town was heavily defended against the Royalists in the Civil War. In 1685 the Duke of Monmouth failed in his invasion attempt, the Monmouth Rebellion, and almost 300 of his men were condemned to death or transportation in the ~ Bloody Assizes, held in the Oak Room of the Antelope Hotel, Dorchester and presided over by Judge Jeffrey's. In 1833, the Tolpuddle Martyrs formed the Friendly Society of Agricultural Labourers. Trade unions were legal, but due to them swearing an oath of allegiance, they were arrested and tried in the Shire Hall in Dorchester. This building still remains and is preserved as it was at the time. Under the court are the cells where the prisoners were held while waiting for their court appearance. Dorchester Prison was constructed in the town during the 19th century and the prison is still in use today, holding convicted and remanded inmates from the local courts.
Poundbury is the well - known western extension of the town, constructed on Duchy of Cornwall land ( owned by Charles, Prince of Wales ) according to urban village principles since 1993. Being developed over 25 years, it will eventually be composed of four phases with a total of 2,500 dwellings and a population of about 6,000. Since 2008, Poundbury is now home to Dorset Fire and Rescue Service headquarters and Dorchester fire station. Prince Charles designed the estate ( as well as the local Tesco supermarket ) and makes several visits throughout the year. The catchment area extends eight miles west, north and east of the town, and two miles south. Brewery Square is a new development in the heart of the town, and is planned to include a multitude of retail outlets, residential units, bars, restaurants and various cultural facilities, plus the regeneration of Dorchester South station to make it the UK's first solar powered rail station.
This remaining Duchy land was farmed under the open field system until 1874 when the land was enclosed - or consolidated - into three large farms by the landowners and residents. Soon afterwards followed a series of key developments for the town: the enclosing of Poundbury hill fort for public enjoyment in 1876, the ~ Fair Field ( new site for the market, off Weymouth Avenue ) in 1877, the Recreation Ground ( also off Weymouth Avenue ) opening in 1880, and the imposing Eldridge Pope Brewery of 1881, adjacent to the railway line to Southampton. Salisbury Field was retained for public use in 1892, with land being purchased in 1895 for the formal Borough Gardens, between West Walks and Cornwall Road. The clock and bandstand were added in 1898. Meanwhile, land had begun to be developed for housing outside the walls. This included the Cornwall Estate, between the Borough Gardens and the Great Western Railway, from 1876 and the Prince of Wales Estate, centred on Prince of Wales Road, from 1880. Land for the Victoria Park Estate was bought in 1896 and building began in 1897, Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee year. The lime trees in Queen's Avenue were planted in February 1897.
Bournemouth, Dorset, England, A trip round the town ( 9 )
Bournemouth .With seven miles of golden sands and sparkling sea, the vibrant cosmopolitan town of Bournemouth has it all - a vast variety of shops, restaurants and holiday accommodation, buzzing nightlife and endless countryside with beautiful award winning gardens and water sports galore. Bournemouth is a large coastal resort town in the ceremonial county of Dorset, England. According to the mid-year estimates for 2010 from the Office for National Statistics the town has a population of 168,100, making it the largest settlement in Dorset. It is also the largest settlement between Southampton and Plymouth. With Poole and Christchurch, Bournemouth forms the South East Dorset conurbation, which has a total population of about 400,000.
Founded in 1810 by Lewis Tregonwell, Bournemouth's growth accelerated with the arrival of the railway, becoming a recognised town in 1870. Historically part of Hampshire, it joined Dorset with the reorganisation of local government in 1974. Since 1997 the town has been administered by a unitary authority, meaning that it has autonomy from Dorset County Council. The local authority is Bournemouth Borough Council. Bournemouth's location on the south coast of England has made it a popular destination for tourists. The town is a regional centre of business, home of the Bournemouth International Centre and financial companies that include Liverpool Victoria and PruHealth.
Although Bournemouth is on the coast, the centre of the town lies inland - the commercial and civil heart of the town being the Square. From the Square the Upper and Lower Pleasure Gardens descend to the seafront and the pier. Areas within Bournemouth include Bear Cross, Boscombe, Kinson, Pokesdown, Westbourne and Winton. Traditionally a large retirement town, Bournemouth (mostly the Northbourne, Southbourne and Tuckton areas of Bournemouth together with the Wallisdown, and Talbot Village areas of Poole) has seen massive growth in recent years, especially through the growth of students attending Bournemouth University and the large number of language schools teaching English as a foreign language.
Bournemouth is located directly to the east of the Jurassic Coast, a 95-mile ( 153 km ) section of beautiful and largely un spoilt coastline recently designated a World Heritage Site. Apart from the beauty of much of the coastline, the Jurassic Coast provides a complete geological record of the Jurassic period and a rich fossil record. Bournemouth sea front overlooks Poole Bay and the Isle of Wight. Bournemouth also has seven miles ( 11 km ) of sandy beaches that run from Hengistbury Head in the east to Sandbanks, in Poole, in the west.
Because of the coastal processes that operate in Poole Bay, the area is often used for surfing. An artificial reef was expected to be installed at Boscombe, in Bournemouth, by October 2008, using large sand-filled geotextile bags. However, this deadline was not met, and the construction was actually finished at the end of October 2009. The Boscombe Reef was constructed as part of the larger Boscombe Spa Village development. Bournemouth also has several chines ( e.g., Alum Chine ) that lead down to the beaches and form a very attractive feature of the area.
The Dorset and Hampshire region surrounding Bournemouth has been the site of human settlement for thousands of years. However, in 1800 the Bournemouth area was largely a remote and barren heathland. No one lived at the mouth of the Bourne River and the only regular visitors were a few fishermen, turf cutters and gangs of smugglers until the 16th century. During the Tudor period the area was used as a hunting estate, Stourfield Chase, but by the late 18th century only a few small parts of it were maintained, including several fields around the Bourne Stream and a cottage known as Decoy Pond House, which stood near where the Square is today.
With the exception of the estate, until 1802 most of the Bournemouth area was common land. The Christchurch Inclosures Act 1802 and the Inclosure Commissioners' Award of 1805 transferred hundreds of acres into private ownership for the first time. In 1809, the Tapps Arms public house appeared on the heath. A few years later, in 1812, the first residents, retired army officer Lewis Tregonwell and his wife, moved into their new home built on land he had purchased from Sir George Ivison Tapps. Tregonwell began developing his land for holiday letting by building a series of sea villas. In association with Tapps, he planted hundreds of pine trees, providing a sheltered walk to the beach ( later to become known as the ~ Invalids walk ). The town would ultimately grow up around its scattered pines. In 1832 when Tregonwell died, Bournemouth had grown into small community with a scattering of houses, villas and cottages.
