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.

Burghley House, Stamford, Lincolnshire.

Burghley House is one of the most beautiful and impressive house in the country. Built for William Cecil (Elizabeth I treasurer) in the 16th century, Burghley house is a beautiful if some what eccentric house. The room are full of extravagant furniture and elaborate decor and paintings. The heaven and hell room and staircase are very extraordinary, though not to everyone's taste. Every room in the house is teaming with antiques and treasures from around the world. It is no wonder that Burghley is frequently used for film locations and most recent being the DeVinci Code and Pride and Prejudice.

The park and gardens were laid out by Capability Brown, who also landscaped Chatsworth and Longleat. Even if you don't visit the house, the gardens and the walks around the park are delightful at any time of the year. There is also a hands on sculpture trail around the park and the children will enjoy trying to spotting the sculptures and exploring them.

Wing Turf Maze, Rutland.

This maze at the village of Wing is actually a labyrinth. The Difference being a maze has many dead ends and different paths, where as a labyrinth has one path which leads to the centre. Though hard to date, Wing turf maze of thought to be medieval. It is an interesting place to visit if in the area as there as not many of these mazes left in Britain.

St Mary's church, Wainfleet, Lincolnshire.

St Mary's Church Wainfleet is one of my favourite places to visit. I lived near this church as a child and have always loved it. I don't know much about the church and I'm currently in the process of finding out when it was built and why is 2 miles away from the town of Wainfleet. I know that in the field North of the Church there are the earth works of what used to be the medieval village of Wainfleet. If anyone has any information please let me know.

Newquay, Cornwall.

Newquay on the North coast of Cornwall is a beautiful place to visit. It has 10 stunning beaches all which are assessable (though some are quite steep to walk down to). The town, I found, was a little run down, though it does have a typical British seaside feel to it. It is the sandy beaches which are the main attraction in Newquay they are absolutely spectacular. There are rock pools to explore, the sea is perfect to swimming and paddling (keep to the areas where the lifeguards monitor) or you can lie back and relax enjoying just being by the seaside. For the more adventurous you can learn how to surf.

Conway castle. North Wales.

Conway Castle or Castell Conwy in Welsh. It is charming castle to visit, though it is best to go on a sunny day, as most of it is outside. The castle is situated on the North Coast of Wales, and looks over the harbour of the medieval fishing town of Conway (another must see). The castle was built between 1283 1289 during the reign of Edward I. During this reign many castles were built in Wales, including Caernarfon and Beaumaris.

The castle, though not intact, has lots of look at and is a lovely place to roam round. You can walk up most of the turrets and along the battlements. At the top, there are splendid view of the town. While visiting the castle take a look at the Conway Suspension bridge. Built by Thomas Telford in 1826, this bridge is one of the first suspension bridges in the world. Though the bridge is now out of action for cars you can still walk along it. Running along side Conway bridge is the Robert Stevenson's wrought iron tubular railway bridge, built in 1848 another first of its kind.
