Little gems to visit in the UK

Depending on what time you go eyemouth , you can feed the seals off the quay. Bloke feeds them off a big pole and for a couple of quid u can have a go! One of the seals is blind

We did indeed see them, noticed one had a look of droopy eye about it, when we watched there was a kid feeding and the sealion slid out onto the orange raft thing to grab the fish.

Almost immediately set about by seagulls the true rats of the air

I was in Conwy yesterday and sent a short video clip of the view from the quayside up to the castle to my US friends. They are knocked out by that.

I'd echo the sentiment and currently on our first trip up the Northumberland coast. Seahouses is indeed beautiful with a quaint fishing harbour that is the starting point for the boat trips to the Farne islands, a twitchers paradise full of shags, Puffins, gulls, Turns and Eiders. The Farne Islands are also home to thousands of grey seals and the return trip was only £12.50 return.

Lots of characters on the boat donned in canvas bucket hats with zenith 10 mile zoom cameras hung from necks that projected kaleidoscopically from the camera Lense. The excitement on the boat as we approached Farne was beyond insane as they all hustled and postured to be first off our landing craft like some inane scene from Private Ryan. I took all our pictures using a 12-gig finger zoom on my Samsung 9 plus and pleased enough with the results.

Sudeley Castle is worth a visit. A lot of history, think it was home of one of HENRYVIII ex wives and is the only privately owned castle to have a Queen of England buried there. Massive gardens to explore

Thank you Nellie I’m only a short walk from the Castle and I love British History.

Yeah...it's nice there. St Davids and Fishguard. I prefer further up the coast at Barmouth, though: View attachment 47160View attachment 47159

Is Sand Dancer's nightclub still there?
