The Leas Cliff Hall

Advantages: Lots of shows to choose from, excellent security
Disadvantages: None

...I have been to the Leas Cliff Hall on several occasions to watch bands such as Embrace and Pink Floyd tribute bands. I have also attended the musical Fame at this location. The Leas Cliff Hall There is one main arena at the Leas Cliff Hall and this consists of a large stage, with an open hall area in front on it. At the back of the hall, there are stairs which lead to upper stalls although the seating is fairly limited with only two rows all the way round. During the concerts that I have attended, there have been no seats laid out and visitors are left to stand in the large open hall area where they can view the band on stage. The only seating available is the higher seating around the outside of the hall. When I attended the musical Fame, the Leas Cliff Hall had been laid out in a completely different style. Rows of seats had been...

Bempton Cliffs, East Yorkshire

Advantages: A lovely natural wonder, lots of wildlife
Disadvantages: Not fully accessible for disabled visitors, admission charges

...Bempton Cliffs can be found on the east coast of Yorkshire just outside the small village of Bempton, which is off the Bridlington to Flamborough road. This whole area is now a nature reserve that is owned and managed by the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB). There can be few people that have been here that can deny that Bempton Cliffs are a spectacular sight. They are characterised by their chalk-white appearance and they rise vertically from the sea to the cliff tops. They are just as impressive from the top of the cliffs looking downwards as they are from below looking upwards. These limestone sea cliffs stretch for over 3 miles (5 kilometres) and have an average height of 86 metres above sea level. They are the highest sea cliffs in England and they are home to one of the largest sea bird colonies in the British...

Calling all Cliff Richard Fans.

Advantages: lovely christmassy songs
Disadvantages: he has re mixed a lot of them

...Mum has always been interested in Cliff since I can remember and we were brought up on how in the 60s she would wear her cardigan back to front as a low backless top as they could not afford a proper one. A few years ago my mums dream came true and she went to see Cliff in his musical. They had really posh seat and my step father was not impressed when mum all of sudden turned into a school girl of the 60s and started to scream and shout. Mum always said it was her dream come true and does not know what over come her, but we all have dreams and crushes as kids and parents still have them too. Well what better Christmas Present could I get her other than Cliff at Christmas. I bought this today from good old Woolworths together with 3 other different cds for Christmas presents and currently they have a buy one get the other half...

Treak Cliff Cavern In The Peak District!

Advantages: Fantastic Experience
Disadvantages: Not Easily Accessible, Expensive

...Treak Cliff Cavern can be found on the fringe of Derbyshire's Peak District town of Castleton. Cutting deep into the limestone hillside this is actually one of four different Cave systems that penetrate this impressive landscape. This landscape and the Caves were formed between 350 and 300 million years ago when this whole area was submerged under the sea. Treak Cliff Cavern is perhaps the least known of Castleton's Caves, although it still attracts many thousands of visitors each year. This may have something to do with the fact that it is the least accessible and it is also much smaller than Peak Cavern, the largest Cave here and the Blue John Cavern. Castleton's other Cave, Speedwell Cavern benefits from having an entrance directly next to the road and also has the added appeal of being flooded by water, meaning that a trip into...

Haven's Devon Cliffs - Not worth the money

Advantages: pools, adventure golf, good choice of food
Disadvantages: disgusting beach, too far from decent seaside town, accomomadation, too hilly

...For the last 3 years we have been to a Haven site, the previous 2 years we went to Golden Sands in Mablethorpe and thoroughly enjoyed it so this year we thought we would try somewhere different. As Devon Cliffs is Havens "flagship park" we thought we would try it. It looked spectacular in the brochure and we were really looking forward to it. What a disappointment! The park itself is far too big, too many caravans for the size of the entertainment complex. The pools were excellent however although the outdoor pools are so much smaller than they look on the website although the lockers cost you a £1 which is non refundable so if you leave something in the locker it will cost you another £1. The beach was absolutely disgusting, We are very much a beach family and there is no way on this earth we would use the beach on the site. It was...

The face that burned a thousand ships

Advantages: Beautifully made, a classic story
Disadvantages: Some will find it hard to follow

...At the end of the Han Dynasty in China in 208AD, Prime Mister Cao Cao persuades the Emperor to declare war on Liu Bei's army in the Kingdom of Xu in the west, at least partially because Cao Cao has always had his eye on the beauty Xiao Qiao. Liu Bei's brilliant strategist, Zhu Geliang, persuades him to link up with the Kingdom of East Wu in the south, led by strategist Zhou Yu, who also happens to be married to Xiao Qiao. But even this alliance is weaker than Cao Cao's army, and Cao Cao knows that only too well. Will Zhou Yu and Zhu Geliang manage to come up with a strategy to defeat Cao Cao at Red Cliff? Or will Cao Cao end up with the land, the people and Zhou Yu's life? As soon as I heard about this film, I knew I had to see it. The story of Cao Cao, Zhu Geliang and Zhou Yu is an absolute classic in Chinese history and there are...

Choice Hotels in Blackpool

Advantages: Well appointed,clean, kids club,spacious,good food,friendly staff
Disadvantages: None

...I know, I know, Blackpool is perceived as fish'n'chips, bucket and spades, amusement arcades, B&B's. What about something different? Choice Hotels in Blackpool run 3 hotels - The Claremont (near the North Pier), the Talk of The North (near South Pier) and the Cliffs Hotel (North Promenade just up from Gynn Square). My family and I have stayed at the Cliffs Hotel on 6 occasions, ranging from weekend breaks to full weeks. Why? The hotel is large and well appointed - it has a 1920's feel about the facade and interior and is very clean and spacios. There are 5 bars and a large resturant. The food is excellent with a very good selection - the staff are very helpful and friendly. There is a well appointed leisure club - free to residents. It has a pool, jacuzzi, small but very good gym, sauna, sunbeds and a leisure club bar. It...

Off to the Tower

Advantages: enables you to fulfil an interest in geology, wildlife, history and relaxation!
Disadvantages: You have to drive there, and its not on the way to anywhere else!

...' on a cassette, etc etc! and then years later taking my young children for a bit of exercise and fresh air, for kite flying, or simply blackberry picking with my husband. The Naze provides a wealth of quality time. THE NAZE TOWER: Built in 1720 this 86ft octagonal tower was built by Trinity House, it is a very early version of a lighthouse and was originally built to act as a marker for boats approaching Harwich harbour, which it still does today. It is Grade II listed for its unusual architecture. It has also played a part in many wars since the 18th century. As a child I remember the tower surrounded by a vast area of grass topped cliffs, but with the ongoing battle with erosion the area has become much less. After being derelict for a long time the tower has more recently been bought by a local resident, and it has been opened up as...

White Cliffs

Advantages: relaxing hols in a pretty countryside
Disadvantages: can't see any

...the German army after unification. Since then some museums have been set up in one block, an art gallery and a café and a youth hostel with 800 beds will be built in the near future, but the arguments go on what to do with the whole megalomaniac monstrosity. When Germans hear 'Rügen', they think 'chalk', nowhere in the country is there more, it's quarried for industrial use, it's not the school board kind. But tourists aren't interested in the chalk processing plants, they go to the National Park Jasmund on the east coast and admire the white cliffs, the most famous being the 'King's Chair' of 117m glistening white like a huge stone sail against the blue of the sky and the sea and the green of the trees on either side and on top. If you're able to you can climb down into the gorge on wooden steps to the beach, collect your souvenirs there...

Our Blackpool Trip

Advantages: Excellent staff - especially at breakfast, reception staff especially Stewart also very helpful and friendly
Disadvantages: Food was basic, parking - got blocked in and could not move our own car!

...Me, my Mum, my Brother and my boyfriend all set off for a family trip to Blackpool. Attracted by the Cliffs facilities for the money we decided on booking it. Well we were extremely happy, I strongly advised entering the basement, kids soft play area, table tennis, arcade games, pool, snooker, swimming pool and gym! You'd never believe it would all fit down there! The rooms were clean, the toilets would have been too small to sit on if I was a few dress sizes bigger!! The food at breakfast was fresh and hot but was limited. The only disappointment is when we found our car blocked in as other guests had not left their keys at reception. It was ridiculous that we wouldn't move our own car!! However the hotel did try it's best and transported us themselves to and from the restaurant we had intended to eat at. Overall great fun...
