Aysgarth Falls, Yorkshire.

Aysgarth falls in the Yorkshire Dales are a stunning triple set of waterfalls which are on the river Ure. They are beautiful and the upper falls lovely place to go for a picnic as you can walk down to the river edge. They are also an ideal place to paddle, though the water is fast flowing and can in heavy rain be dangerous. At the right time of year can can see fish jumping up the falls. The upper falls were also used in the Kevin Costner film Robin Hood Prince of Thieves, where he has a fight in middle of the river with Little John.

The middle and lower falls, which are a short walk though gorgeous woodland, from the upper falls, are also lovely though access is limited.

This is a definite must see place to go if in the area, it was recently voted one of the natural wonders of Britain.

Tattershall castle, Lincolnshire.

Tattershall Castle is situated in rural Lincolnshire. Built in 1434 by Lord Ralph Cromwell (Henry VI's treasurer), on the site of a older stone castle, which some of it can still be seen in the grounds. Tattershall castle is built from red brick which is rare for the period. It dominates the surrounding fen land and can be seen for miles around.

The castle it lucky to have survived, as it was left to decline for 200 years. However in 1911 the castle was brought by Lord Curzon, who set about restoring it to its former glory. The stunning medieval fireplaces were rescued before they were shipped off to America. The floors and windows replaced and restored. When Lord Curzon passed away in 1925 he give the castle to the National Trust.

The castle itself is quite bare inside, some of the room often have exhibits in them and Dutch tapestries have been placed in the dinning room to give visitors an idea of how it use to look. The visitors can go onto the roof and admire the beautiful views of the surrounding area. If visiting keep an eye out for some extraordinary graffiti, some of it dating back to the time of the civil war.

Boston Stump, Lincolnshire.

Boston Stump is one of the defining landmarks in Lincolnshire. The Stump is the tower which forms part of the St Botolph's church in the heart of the town of Boston. Standing at 83 metres high it is the tallest parish church in England, and up until the 19 century the highest building in the world. It was built 1309 and finished in 1510, the tower was built in 1450 and despite being built metres away from the river Haven, the foundations, which are under water, have never been renovated. It is a stunning piece of architecture, which at the time it was built seems very frivolous and extravagant when most of the residents of the town were living in poverty.

It is also a very special place to visit, a place of quiet contemplation or for the more active you can climb up the stump, though not to the top as people keep jumping off it. The views are stunning and if you look carefully you can see Lincoln cathedral, Ely cathedral, Tattershell castle and my house.

Warwick Castle, Warwickshire.

Warwick Castle is a lovely place to visit. You need to give yourself plenty of time to look round and if you time it right during summer there are loads of special events on ranging from medieval knights jousting to battles being re-enacted. The castle is own by the Madamme Tussard group who also own Chessington World of Adventure and Alton Towers, but don't let this put you off, as Warwick castle has not in anyway been spoiled and turned into a theme park.

The castle is stunning, built by William the Conquer in 1068, the building has been adding to throughout the century's, it is amazing that so much of the castle is still intact. It is a great place for all ages. I loved it and hopefully going to go back soon because they have added some more things, like a catapult.

Thorpe Cloud, Dovedale, Derbyshire.

Thorpe cloud is the name of a limestone hill in Dovedale. It is a popular walk and and views across Dovedale are well worth the effort. It is a short trek, but can be tough in areas near the top. There are good paths which are well signed. At 287 metres high it doesn't take long to reach the summit (30Min's). Though the summit looks flat from the bottom, it is narrow and steep so take care, it can also be windy at the top. Once at the top you can choice to go back the way you came or down a more tricky but quicker slope.

Cautley Spout, Cumbria.

Cautley Spout is in the county of Cumbria and in the far west of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. It is said to be the highest waterfall (198 metres) in England, though it is made up of several broken falls. It is truly stunning place to visit. The waterfall can be seen from the main road on Howgill Fells. One of the magical things about this spectacular waterfall is that is has a feeling of discovery about it, though it is seen from the road, few venture the 1.5 mile (one way) trek to see it. Once reaching it you can explore, boulder climb or walk to the top. We went on a glorious summers evening and there wasn't a soul about, we even ventured a dip under one of the less fierce cascades. Truly an amazing beautiful place to visit.

Nine Ladys. Derbyshire.

The nine ladies is a bronze age stone circle which is situated in Derbyshire and is part of the peak district. It is surrounded by woodland which is inhabited by tree people, a protest camp, who live in homemade tree houses. They are protesting about a quarry that is proposed to be built near the stone circle. They have been there five years and as far as I know they are still camping out. The stone circle is not as impressive or as large as Stonehenge, but it is a pleasant place to walk to and visit.
