The Norbreck Castle Hotel has been in Blackpool a long time. I have been lucky enough to go to this hotel on several occasions and for many different reasons. Every occasion I have been to this hotel I have good and pleasant memories of it. I remember going the year before my Grandfather died it was for his 70th Wedding Anniversary (Platinum) and we had a big family meal there. Everyone enjoyed themselves and it was a good reunion and all of our family turned up and it was held in a really big room. When we arrived at the hotel we were taken into a room where we were served drinks and had snacks such as nuts and crisps. The room was really ...
Advantages: Lots of interesting stuff, cheap admission, great views Disadvantages: A few dull exhibits
The pretty Slovenian town of Ptuj (pronounced Puh-too-ee) is reputed to be the country's oldest settlement and is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the country. The highlight of a visit to Ptuj is the impressive castle that guards over the town from a position on a high flat plateau. Travelling to or from the far north east of Slovenia by train gives you the best overall view of the castle, in my opinion Slovenia's most attractive.

Feudal lords built a castle here around the tenth century of which one tower still stands today. In the twelfth century Archbishop Konrad of Salzburg, the then feudal lord of Ptuj, ordered the construction of a new fortress; only the Leslijev wing of that ...
Advantages: One of the most impressive historical buildings I have ever seen Disadvantages: The fact that its not more widely known
and whole books could easily be wrote about it. The castle was founded in 1177 by the Norman knight John De Courcy. De Courcy was later ousted by Hugh de Lacy also a Norman knight who completed the initial building of the castle. Over the 800 hundred years it has been besieged by the Scots, English and the French. Throughout the 800 years the castle has remained an important military structure and was last commissioned by the British Army who used it as an armoury during the Second World War.
During its impressive history it was only once occupied by a reigning monarch. King John of England (Robin Hood's enemy) who captured the castle in 1210 and I believe he stayed in the Castle for a week or so before moving on. There is a live size statue of King John in the castle using the toilet. Presumably that's were the phrase going to the John may ...
