Places of Interest and Holiday Destinations

Duxford Imperial War Museum - 8 miles South of my hometown Cambridge. Mostly interest aviation enthusiasts but a great day out X Also have many airshows every year including Flying Legends in July. (thanks to Steve for the original thread idea of Places of Interest X).

Tintern Abbey-ruined abbey beside the river wye near chepstow in gwent.the abbey inspired paintings by J.M.W.Turner.

The Isles of Scilly-over the last 18 years ive spent a total of about three months on these beautiful islands.located about 28 Miles south west of Lands End,ive visited all six of the inhabited islands,st,marys,bryher,tresco,st,martins,st agnes and gugh and also some of the c 200 other islands,getting there is fairly simple,ive taken all three options over the years,A boat(The Scillonian) travels from penzance(not my favorite)Another option is to fly via a small 8 seater plane called skybus,its my favorite option,though flying out of the small st just airport is a very hair raising experience.the last option is to take a helicopter,its quick but damn noisy,but does give some excellent views of the cornish coastline. sorry if some of these facts are now outdated,ive not been in a couple of years.but you should give it a go.its a great place.

Ely,City in Cambrideshire,on the river ouse,ely cathedral is the centrepeice for me.
to quote from readers digest"CATHEDRAL in the fens,Ely cathedrals majestic Norman nave rises to a wooden ceiling painted with biblical scenes.at the foot of the western tower are the carved arches of the galilee porch".
