Tell us a few facts about where you live. Is your Town/City famous for anything?

Here's a few facts about where I live:

Stonehenge is a UNESCO world heritage site which stands testament to the ages and has a magnetism that has drawn people to them for centuries.

Salisbury cathedral has the oldest working clock in the world, from 1386, and it has the best-preserved of the four copies of the Magna Carta.

Stourhead is a country house and garden and Longleat Safari Park, an award-winning and hugely popular wildlife attraction.

I have visited many areas with Long Barrows and burial mounds or Tumulus as I know them by. They are so interesting.

Our little town is the birthplace of British motor racing. It was also the first seaside resort to allow mixed bathing! At the turn of the last century the group of rich influential land owners that built most of the town held infamous sex parties in their mansions! The head of witches Crowley also visited a local powerful coven in the town regularly which apparently still exists now...

You'd think it would be deviant central here but it's more recently known as God's Waiting Room!

York

Where do I start with York! Former Roman and Viking settlement, former capital of England, the minster and intact medieval city walls draw visitors from all over the world. It's regularly used as a filming location for TV shows and Hollywood films. Dame Judi Dench is from York and a street is named after her.

Hiding in the shadows

I live in a seaside village, reported to be the biggest village in England, sandwiched between the beach and the South Downs.

Its a beautiful place to live.

Oscar Wilde wrote The Importance of Being Earnest while living in the area.

We have a very beautiful college, that could easily pass for Hogwarts, although it looks incredibly old was actually built in 1848

I live about half a mile from the Welsh border, my town is an ancient market town that was Welsh until 1157.

There is also a 3000 year old hill fort, the best preserved hill fort in the UK. It has been said that the hill fort was the birthplace of Guinevere Pendragon

Notable places include;

Whittington Castle, said to be the home of the Holy Grail.

Whittington village said to be the home of Dick Whittington Lord Mayor of London

And Babbinswood said to be the place Babes in the Wood was set.

Close by is Pontcysyllte Aquaduct, built by Thomas Telford and stands 130ft above the river Dee. It is the longest and highest aquaduct in the UK and has UNESCO status.

Also near is home of the industrial revolution Ironbridge, another Telford structure.

Is it still nice in this particular season? My family is coming to visit me next week and there is not much to do in Lincoln for someone who doesn't speak English so take them to explore the nature could be an option.

I live in England's smallest city with its grand Cathedral and Bishops Palace. The Cathedral was built between 1176 and 1450.

The name Wells comes from 3 wells, 1 in the market place and the other 2 in the grounds of the Bishops Palace and Cathedral.

Mary Bignal Rand is the most famous person, a Gold Medalist in the 1964 Olympics.

Alnmouth

The county I live in is rather lovely, very quaint. In a town not far from where I live is Alnwick, it's here there's a monument that stands on a hill a short walk from the town centre. As the story goes, the duke had told put the rent up for the locals to a rate that was deemed excessive. After the duke backed down, the locals erected a monument in his honour. Upon seeing it, the duke decided if the locals can pay for a monument then they can afford the extra rent.

If there is a moral to this story beyond not trusting hereditary rule I'd like to know

Is it true that the village name sign gets stolen often, Due to Dafydd`s fame?

Apparently it disappeared a few times when the series was new, not so much now, though you still see the occasional summer visitor doing the Dafydd pose by it

I just thought I would add a few more interesting places near me.

The Hawk Conservancy Trust. They care for and display amazing birds of prey. I once had one of their escaped Vultures sat on my house roof. He was called SunDance and had given them the chase for 7 hrs. He was eventually recaptured

Thruxton Race Circuit. The fastest race circuit in the UK.

so near and yet so far....

My Town lies on the River Churn, a tributary of the River Thames, and is the largest town in the Cotswolds.

It is the home of the Royal Agricultural University, the oldest agricultural college in the English-speaking world, founded in 1840. The town’s Corinium Museum has an extensive Roman collection..
