England : [4K] Walk | Eastleigh Town | Hampshire | England
Eastleigh is a town in Hampshire, England, between Southampton and Winchester. It is the largest town and the administrative seat of the Borough of Eastleigh, with a population of 24,011 at the 2011 census.
The town lies on the River Itchen, one of England's premier chalk streams for fly fishing, and a designated site of Special Scientific Interest. The area was originally villages until the 19th century, when Eastleigh was developed as a railway town by the London and South-Western Railway.

History
---------------------
The modern town of Eastleigh lies on the old Roman road, built in A.D.79 between Winchester (Venta Belgarum) and Bitterne (Clausentum). Roman remains discovered in the Eastleigh area, including a Roman lead coffin excavated in 1908, indicate that a settlement probably existed here in Roman times.
A Saxon village called 'East Leah' has been recorded to have existed since 932 AD.('Leah' is an ancient Anglo-Saxon word meaning 'a clearing in a forest'). There is additional evidence of this settlement in a survey from the time which details land in North Stoneham being granted by King Æthelstan to his military aid, Alfred in 932 AD. The prefix 'Est' or 'East' is thought to refer to its location relative to the established settlement of Baddesley.
The Domesday Book of 1086 gives a more detailed account of the settlement, which is referred to as 'Estleie'.
In 1838 the London and South Western Railway Company (L&SWR) built a railway from Southampton to Winchester. It was decided to build a station near the little village of Barton. This railway station was originally named Bishopstoke Junction. In 1868 the villages of Barton and Eastley were combined into one parish. A parish church, the Church of the Resurrection, was built in the same year, at a cost of £2,300. A local noted author of many novels, Charlotte Yonge, donated £500 towards the building of the church. She was rewarded by being given the privilege to choose a name for the 'new' parish; either Barton or Eastly. She chose Eastly, but with a new modern spelling; Eastleigh. In 1891 the L&SWR Carriage and Wagon Works from Nine Elms in London were transferred to Eastleigh. This was followed by the Nine Elms Locomotive Works which were moved there in 1909. These railway works were closed in 2006 but have since reopened, albeit on a smaller scale.
Eastleigh has seen a rapid and controlled expansion in residential, industrial and commercial development over recent years. The borough of Eastleigh was ranked the 9th best place to live in the UK 2006 by a Channel 4 programme.
The United States Navy established a naval air station on 23 July 1918 to assemble and repair Caproni Ca.5 and Airco DH.4 and DH.9 bombers for the Northern Bombing Group of the First World War. The base closed shortly after the First Armistice at Compiègne. Perhaps Eastleigh's best-known 'resident' is the Spitfire aeroplane which was built in Southampton and first flown from Eastleigh Aerodrome. A replica has recently been placed on the roundabout at the entrance to the airport.
Eastleigh Museum, which is to be found in the High Street, holds information about the town and the surrounding villages, including Bishopstoke which had been the largest residential area.
Eastleigh has two further education colleges: Barton Peveril Sixth Form College (where Colin Firth was a pupil) and Eastleigh College (both on the same road). Crestwood Community School is the secondary school for the town, and primary schools include Cherbourg Primary School, Norwood Primary School, Nightingale Primary School, the Crescent Primary School and Shakespeare Infant and Junior Schools to the north of the town.

Places to see in ( Atherstone - UK )
Atherstone is a town and civil parish in the English county of Warwickshire. Located in the far north of the county, Atherstone forms part of the border with Leicestershire along the A5 national route, and is only 4 miles from Staffordshire. It lies midway between the larger towns of Tamworth and Nuneaton and contains the administrative offices of North Warwickshire Borough Council.
Atherstone has a long history dating back to Roman times. An important defended Roman settlement named Manduessedum existed at Mancetter near the site of modern-day Atherstone, and the Roman road, the Watling Street (most of which later became part of the A5) ran through the town. It is believed by some historians that the rebel Queen of the Britons, Boudica was defeated at the Battle of Watling Street by the Romans in her final battle near Manduessedum.
In Tudor times, Atherstone was a thriving commercial centre for weaving and clothmaking. The town's favourable location laid out as a long ‘ribbon development’ along Watling Street, ensured its growth as a market town. While it remained an agricultural settlement in medieval times, attempts were made to encourage merchants and traders through the creation of burgage plots, a type of land tenure that provided them with special privileges. A manuscript discovered by Marjorie Morgan among the muniments of Cambridge’s King's College (Ms. C9), refers to the creation of nine new burgage strips from land belonging to seven of the tenants in Atherstone vill.
By the late Tudor period Atherstone had become a centre for leatherworking, clothmaking, metalworking and brewing. Local sheep farmers and cattle graziers supplied wool and leather to local tanners and shoemakers (an industry that continued until the 1970s), while metalworkers, locksmiths and nailers fired their furnaces with local coal and the alemakers supplied thirsty palates on market days.
The surviving inventories from 16th century Mancetter provide a fascinating glimpse into Atherstone’s Elizabethan merchants and traders, before the town was economically overshadowed by the bustling cities of Coventry and Birmingham. They show Atherstone at this time as a typical Midlands market town, taking full advantage of its location and agricultural setting.
The town is situated 5.6 mi (9.0 km) northwest of Nuneaton, 5.6 mi (9.0 km) southeast of Tamworth and 14 mi (23 km) north of the nearest major city, Coventry. Atherstone is close to the River Anker which forms the boundary between Warwickshire and Leicestershire. Witherley village is on the opposite bank of the river in Leicestershire, whilst the village of Mancetter is contiguous with Atherstone to the southeast.
Atherstone is on the main A5 national route and close to the M42 motorway. The Coventry Canal and a series of eleven locks runs through the town, as does the West Coast Main Line railway. Atherstone has its railway station on this line, with an hourly service 7 days a week to both London and Crewe via Stafford and Stoke. The historic railway station building, built in 1847, was under threat of demolition in the early 1980s. Thanks to a local group, the Railway and Steam Traction Society, listed status was obtained, with the building celebrating its 150th anniversary in 1997.

Driving in Warwickshire | Welcome to Warwickshire | Countryside Roads | Nuneaton | Bedworth
Warwickshire, administrative and historic county of central England, in the Midlands region. As an administrative and geographic unit, the county dates from the 10th century, with the historic county town (seat) of Warwick lying roughly at its centre.
Covering a smaller and somewhat different area than the historic county, the present administrative county of Warwickshire comprises a largely rural landscape of woodlands, fields, and pastures, with only a few large towns.
It includes five districts: Stratford-on-Avon, Warwick, and the boroughs of North Warwickshire, Nuneaton and Bedworth, and Rugby. The administrative county lies mostly within the historic county, but it includes three areas in Stratford-on-Avon district that belong to other historic counties.
The parish of Oldberrow and an area along the River Stour extending from north of Alderminster to south of Shipston-on-Stour lie within the historic county of Worcestershire. An area south of the River Avon (Upper, or Warwickshire, Avon) and west of the Stour, including Welford and Upper Quinton, belongs to the historic county of Gloucestershire.
Although the historic county of Warwickshire excludes those areas, it encompasses a much larger, more populous, and heavily urbanized area in the north. That area, in the present metropolitan county of West Midlands, includes all or part of three metropolitan boroughs: Solihull and the cities of Birmingham and Coventry.
The historic county also includes the part of the borough of Tamworth east of the River Tame and south of the River Anker, in the present administrative county of Staffordshire.
The administrative county of Warwickshire drains mainly to the west into the River Avon and its tributaries. In the extreme south are the headwaters of the River Cherwell, a tributary of the River Thames, and in the north an area drains to the River Trent. Sedimentary rocks, including the brightly coloured new red sandstone, underlie the undulating countryside. In the north there are coalfields, and mining took place around Nuneaton from the 13th through the 20th century. Glacial drift coats many parts of the county.
In early times much of the historic county was heavily wooded, and prehistoric settlement seems to have been sparse. Of the several major Roman roads that passed through the area, one—Watling Street—still forms the county boundary with Leicestershire to the northeast. However, there were no important Roman settlements.
In Anglo-Saxon times the area was part of the kingdom of Mercia, which was absorbed during the 9th century by the kingdom of Wessex. The lands north of the Avon, which became known as Arden, were heavily wooded, with dispersed settlement and isolated farmsteads. South of the Avon lay Feldon, open countryside with nucleated villages such as Brailes and Kineton. That geographic distinction continued well into the Norman era.
During the Middle Ages major towns grew at Warwick and Kenilworth, each with a Norman castle. There are a number of moated houses in the county, such as Baddesley Clinton Hall and Maxstoke Castle, both built in the 14th century.
The villages of Beaudesert and Berkswell have Norman churches. Sutton-under-Brailes and Pillerton Hersey have Early English churches, and Knowle has a Perpendicular, or Late Gothic, structure.
During the late Middle Ages the southernmost part of the historic county, at the edge of the Cotswolds uplands, thrived on wool production while in the north Birmingham developed as a metalworking centre and Coventry was an important woolen-manufacturing and ecclesiastical centre.
Stratford-upon-Avon, the 16th-century birthplace of William Shakespeare, has many buildings associated with the famous dramatist and poet. The Battle of Edgehill, the first serious clash of the English Civil Wars, was fought in Warwickshire near the Oxfordshire border in 1642.
The medicinal springs at Leamington attracted health seekers as early as the 18th century, and, after the visit of Queen Victoria in 1838, the resort town became known as Royal Leamington Spa.
During the 18th and 19th centuries the construction of canals and, later, railways spurred the development of Birmingham and Coventry as industrial centres with important metallurgical and machinery-manufacturing sectors.
By the 20th century Birmingham was at the centre of one of the largest metropolitan areas in Britain, and residential and commercial development extended across the surrounding countryside.
Since the creation of the separate metropolitan county of West Midlands in 1974, the administrative county of Warwickshire has been largely agricultural. Dairy farming is important, and the southwestern part of the county, bordering the fruit-growing Vale of Evesham, is noted for orchards and market gardening. . Area administrative county, 763 square miles (1,975 square km). Pop. (2001) administrative county, 505,860; (2011) administrative county, 545,474.
Croft Castle (Herefordshire) 14.06.07
Filmed during refurbishment in 2007, with views from the scaffolding. Croft Castle is a castle, church and garden located at Yarpole, Herefordshire, England. It is a National Trust property which is open to the public. A building has been on the site from the 11th century and it has from this time been the home of the Croft family and Croft baronets. The Croft family were closely linked to their neighbours the Mortimers of Wigmore and later Ludlow. The Battle of Mortimer's Cross took place on Croft lands nearby in 1461. The present building originated as a castle in the 14th century and has been much altered since. It was the home of a John Croft who married one of Owain Glyndŵr's daughters. In the 15th century the Croft family adopted the Welsh Wyvern crest, a wounded black dragon, seen as a subtle allusion to their Glyndwr heritage. Croft Castle was restored after slighting in the Civil War. It now consists of a stone quadrangular manor house with a small castellated round tower at each corner and a small square tower flanking the north side. The castle is under the care of the National Trust and members of the Croft family still live within it.

Ludlow Castle (Shropshire) 09.06.07
Ludlow Castle is a ruined medieval fortification in the town of the same name in the English county of Shropshire, standing on a promontory overlooking the River Teme. The castle was probably founded by Walter de Lacy after the Norman conquest and was one of the first stone castles to be built in England. During the civil war of the 12th century the castle changed hands several times between the de Lacy's and rival claimants, and was further fortified with a Great Tower and a large outer bailey. In the mid-13th century, Ludlow was passed on to Geoffrey de Geneville who rebuilt part of the inner bailey, and the castle played a part in the Second Barons' War. Roger Mortimer acquired the castle in 1301, further extending the internal complex of buildings, and the Mortimer family went on to hold Ludlow for over a century.
