The Heritage is no Hermitage

Advantages: Excellent venue, great service and good value if you get the right deal!
Disadvantages: None - except distance from home!

...Intro. There are moments when one's wife should be allowed to enjoy the finer things of life, and The Heritage Golf & Spa Resort proved to be one of them. ( I am the other, and she has been very privileged to enjoy me for decades!! ) I felt it was right to take my beloved on a special package to Killenard for two reasons. Firstly, she had just arrived at pensionable age and it seemed a good way to celebrate her 60th - ( I, as her toyboy, do have a number of years to pension age as my buddies all know ! ) Secondly, there was a staggeringly good offer on Pigsback.com - and while I would not like you to think of me as a skinflint, one should not look a gift horse in the mouth!! - (which I believe has something to do with the age of an old nag!) So here is the steamy tale.! 1 Location. The hotel is located in Killenard. What...

Norfolk Heritage Park, Sheffield.

Advantages: A Peaceful Place In The Heart Of The City
Disadvantages: Some Occasional Vandalism

...Norfolk Park is situated about one mile South-East of Sheffield City Centre and covers an area of 70 acres. It is one of six major City Parks and one of the reasons why Sheffield is one of the greenest Cities in Britain. It is a place that I visit often as it is quite literally on my doorstep, but it is also a place that I try not to take too much for granted. THE HISTORY Norfolk Park has a long history and in fact it is actually one of the oldest Public Parks in England. The majority of Norfolk Park was given to the Sheffield City Council in 1910 by one of the largest landowners in the area, the Duke of Norfolk. The Jervis Lum Woodlands, an area of ancient Woodland, which is now incorporated within the Park was given to the Council in 1956. However the Park itself, which is now known as the Norfolk Heritage Park, thanks...

Don't go looking for Heritage In the Heritage Inn

Advantages: Great location, fair price
Disadvantages: Surly service with too much attitude

...managed to find a hotel where we were able to dither away many of the hours and surprisingly, once we'd accepted that we were there for the duration we adapted to the forced slow-down and just spent a very lazy time. Why the Heritage Inn? It's not that easy to get good advice on finding a hotel in Amritsar. There are few of the international hotel chains, most booking sites cover only the more expensive places and even then, not in any great detail. Alternatively you could stay almost for free in the Temple's own accommodation - I think Michael Palin did that but it's a bit different when you have a camera crew in tow. I found the Heritage Inn thanks to a fellow member of the trivago travel website who added the hotel to the site's database. In my role as an 'approver' for hotels on trivago, I read up on all the hotel details...

The Elsecar Heritage Centre, South Yorkshire

Advantages: Free, Lots Of History
Disadvantages: Admission Charges For Some Exhibits

...The Elsecar Heritage Centre is situated in the small, former Mining Village of Elsecar about seven and a half miles to the South of Barnsley in South Yorkshire. It is described as a Heritage and Craft Centre and since it opened it has won numerous awards. I often try and make a point of visiting such attractions as I find that it is an excellent way to learn about the local area and since entry into the Centre is free there really is no excuse to not visit this place whilst in the area. The Centre is located within an old Colliery Workshop and Ironworks that once belonged to the Earl Fitzwilliam whose residence was the nearby Wentworth Estate and the magnificent Wentworth Woodhouse Country House. The Elsecar Heritage Centre includes various carefully restored Buildings, many of which are positioned alongside the attractive...

Heritage without its heritage

Advantages: Superb Graphics, Hours of gameplay
Disadvantages: Repetitive, not like earlier settlers

...of a marketplace in which you can trade or buy commodities but depending on the amount traded you can expect to be waiting for the "deal to go through" for a while. But i'll come to the problems in a minute and return to basic gameplay. As in all settlers games, the object of the games is essentially to build a settlement then create an army large enough to defeat your opponents to conquer the map. (though occasionally in heritage of kings the object is to consistantly defend a settlement from attack whilst you advance. Another concept stolen from Age of Empires is that of "advancing" and each age you advance opens up new technologies and buildings. I feel that completely detracts from what was a clever and unique settlers concept. Though in previous games settlers would breed or in the later games you'd need to build houses for them then they...

Irish heritage

Advantages: Good day out for family entertainment
Disadvantages: none

...The INHP represents domestic Ireland from 7000 B.C. to the Norman's invasion in the 12th century. Lovingly restored and recrafted versions of various homesteads and compounds, ritualistic food preparation and eating areas are recreated here from a multitude of archaeological sites across Ireland. Located in Ferrycarrig, County Wexford, the Irish National Heritage Park is found just 2 miles from the town of Wexford on the N11 Dublin / Rosslare road, or if holidaying, 11 miles from Rosslare Europort. The jewel of the Irish countryside crown is shown before you reach the front of the INHP by the stunning views across the River Slaney, sufficient to bring a tear to any homesick Irish thinking of going "home," and a fitting backdrop to the park. For the mere visitor, the carpark was surprisingly small in size, and may require...

Heritage, Fred Dibnah, Getting Steamed Up DVD

Advantages: Fantastic look back at Fred Dibnah's life
Disadvantages: None

...Fred Dibnah. Man of steam. Getting steamed Up is a very popular Fred Dibnah DVD. I heard someone say: "When they made Fred Dinah, they broke the mould." That's a nice thing to say, a good compliment, really, but it is not quite true. For Fred's sons are equally as passionate able steam preservation as their late father. But that's slightly off the point, here, so on with the review. This DVD shows many aspects of Fred's life. His fascination with chimneys, his love of steam and also his love of historical building and a stirring belief that we must preserve our industrial heritage for our own and future generations. Watching Fred swap tales of steam engines and of steeplejacking and jokes with his equally steam mad friends whilst supping ale at what the DVD bills as "the world's largest steam rally" at The Dorset Steam Fair is...
