Today's episode is on Vindolanda Museum and Archaeological site. I visited the site back in June 2013 and it was very beautiful. The archaeologist who led the tour was very knowledable. So I highly recommend taking the tour if you can. The site is also close to Hadrian's wall so it's a great detour for those who are interested in walking the length of the wall. I would definitely recommend getting a car to get around the various forts near the Hadrian's wall especially if you are not interested in walking. Some famous items found in Vindolanda include the Vindolanda tablets (they were the oldest written document found in the UK at one point) and boxing gloves. Further excavations have also yielded shoes, combs, knives and skeletons of various domesticated and wild animals that indicate that the fort was big and encoporated families of soldiers. One of tablets include a party invitation from a wife of a soldier to another! The tablets are now in the British Museum in London. There are many places to stay near Vindolanda such as campsites, cottages and Bed and Breakfast. Visit Northumberland has information on places you can stay in Northumberland.

Hello dear listeners!  Episode 7 is on the city of Bath. Do check it out as I mention a few things I visited when I was there. Obviously there is more to Bath than the places I have mentioned in the video.   This is the list of all the places I mention in my video: The Roman Baths, The Pump Room, Bath Abbey, Theatre Royal Bath, The Holburne Musueum, The Jane Austen Centre, The Royal Crescent, No 1 at Royal Crescent and any National Trust properties in Bath. Remember to check out their websites for opening times and prices so that you can plan your day around them. The Assembly rooms are based near The Circus, a circular area that is formed by townhouses. Check out the Visit Bath website for more info on this.  The websites Visit Bath and Bath UK contain more tourist info. I highly recommend the Youth Hostel Association if you wanted a budget friendly accommodation during your stay at Bath. Discounts are available for those under 26 years of age. It is situated close to the University of Bath.   Check out my website if you want to follow my blog.

Hello and welcome back to my channel! In this episode, I talk about the #history of the city #Oxford. Famed for its university, the #UniversityofOxford, this unique city is an architectural delight. It is not a particulary big city so you only need a few days to explore this city. There is more to this city than what I have included in this video so I hope you find something you like! A lot of the museums are free to visit so do check them out. I also recommend the sighseeing buses (also called hop-on-hop-off) bus tours if you want to travel around the city with a live guide. There are a few companies that offer this scheme and the hop-on-hop-off company is the one I used. They run the red double decker tour buses. Places of interest: Oxford Castle and Prison, Christ Church College and Cathedral, Ashmolean Musuem Oxford, Oxford Musuem of Natural History, Pitt Rivers Museum, Oxford Botanic Garden and Bodleian Library Oxford also has a connection to #lotr and #narnia as J.R.R. Tolkein and  C.S. Lewis worked at the University of Oxford as collegues and as Professors. They often exchanged ideas in the local Oxford pub 'The Eagle and the Child' that is situated in St Giles Street. Do visit if you can.  The Oxford Visitor Information website has information on all the attractions in Oxford so do check them out. They also have hotel and restaurant recommendations that cater for everyone.  Check out my website if you want to follow my blog.
