Bristol in the UK is a town or rather a city that I regrettably have never visited.

The Most Romantic Spots In Bristol

Historically it was a trading port as far back as 1051–when it was noted in the Anglo Saxon  Chronicles.  

By the 1400s it was vying with London in importance  in many ways—and becoming  a major port involved in all manner of cargo including people.

Country Pubs in Bristol

 

But by the 20th century Bristol had gone from a great port with much trade to catering to tourist looking for entertainment and  good food.

Things to do in New Smyrna Beach in December

 

The water tower was built in the Old Fort Park in 1952. Each Christmas Season, the city (New Smyrna) decorated its 165 ft. Water Tower. The streamers from the top are 185 feet long and consisted of 1,000 lights. The 15 ft. star at the top is made up of 120 lights. The tower was dismantled in 1993.  But don’t worry there’s still lots to do and see In New Smyrna and New Smyrna Beach in December

Gallos - King Arthur Sculpture | Cornwall Guide

The Entire History of Tintagel // Arthurian Castle Documentary

Tintagel’s association with King Arthur can be traced back to Geoffrey of Monmouth’s book ‘History of the Kings of Britain’, written sometime in the first half of the 12th century. According to the book Tintagel Castle was the home of Uther Pendragon, Arthur’s father. Over the years countless other authors have created their own versions of the story, introducing us to Merlin, Guinevere, and the Knights of the Round Table.  How much truth is there in it, that’s up to you to decide. But we challenge anybody to not come away from Tintagel without feeling some of the magic.
