THE THAMES PATH - Walk or Bicycle
When visiting the UK why not consider
a walk or a cycle through the moving history
of the River Thames from the source to
the barrier or the barrier to the source?....or
just choose your own favourite sections.
I have walked from The Barrier to The
London Eye...The Eye to Hampton Court...HC
to Runnymede passing historical sites,
splendid pubs (not all passed) and watching
the variety of river traffic from skullers
to barges...(the nomad)...next time I
will cover the upper sections taking in
a few more country pubs.
NORTH YORKSHIRE MOORS - Spectacular Countryside
Try this trip in the fall as I have just
done and experience the wonderful villages,
the moors and dales all the way to the
North Sea coast to Whitby and Robin Hoods
Bay. Walk the footpaths or drive the narrow
lanes and take a steam train trip through
'Heartbeat' country, visiting a pub or
two and remember to stop for scones and
tea at a local tea shop...(the nomad)
FOREST OF BOWLAND - Pendle Witches
A visit to Barley and a walk up Pendle
Hill deserves a pint of the Pride of Pendle
at the Pendle Inn or the Barley Mow or
maybe a cuppatea and scone at the local
tea shop to learn about the Pendle Witches
this Halloween. This is a lovely walk
to the top where you can see over many
counties and appreciate the beauty of
the North of England.
DENBIGHSHIRE - Loggerheads
Explore a wooded river valley and limestone
cliffs offering views across to Moel Famau.
Rare plants and ash-dominated woodland
are interspersed with evidence from the
once thriving lead mining industry.
SIR DDINBYCH - Parc Gwledig Loggerheads
Dewch i ddarganfod dyffryn coediog a chlogwyni

INGLETON - Schenswurdigkeiten
Unser Dorf liegt am Fuss von Ingleborough
- einem der beruhmten "Three Peaks", Alle
notige Einrichtungen sind in Ingleton
zu finden, Hotels und Geschafte und auch
ein beheiztes Freibad.
Wir befinden uns am Rande des "Yorkshire
Dales National Park" und in unmittelbarer
Hahe von dem "Lake District, Morecambe
Bay" un "The Trough of Bowland". Die historische
Eisenbahn von Settle nach Carlisle liegt
gleich nordlich von Ingleton.
INGLETON - Delights
Our village lies at the foot of Ingleborough
- one of the famous "Three Peaks". Ingleton
has all the necessary amenities, hotels
and guest houses, camping and caravan
sites, pubs, cafes and shops and also
a heated open air swimming pool.
We are situated on the edge of the Yorkshire
Dales National Park and within easy reach
of the Lake District, Morecambe Bay and
the Trough of Bowland. The famous Settle
to Carlisle railway is just to the north
of Ingleton.
DRIVE THE UK - A great little car
I rented a small Renault Clio 1.5 diesel
for my trip to England and Wales. This
little car handled as well at high motorway
speeds as it did on the narrow country
lanes of the Dales and the Moors with
either 2 or 4 adult passengers. Very comfortable
for all and with a 600 mile range. Ideal
for 2 adults and luggage for a week or
two or three. UK driving IMO (the nomad)
calls for 'aggressive but defensive' driving
skills compared to most countries outside
of Europe.
