British Isles with Fun For Less Tours
England is the foundation of our heritage. From it we received our language, our most endearing literature, our freedoms, our sense of humor, and our general outlook on the world. Many of us trace our individual roots to England, Scotland, Wales or Ireland. From Shakespeare to Harry Potter to C. S. Lewis to King Arthur and his Round Table to Beatrix Potter or Jane Austin, the culture of England continues to shape our world and define our place within it. Its heroes and villains are part of our everyday consciousness. Its castles, cottages, palaces and ancient ruins fire our imagination and haunt our thoughts. Come with us to the sceptered isle as we reminisce of everything from kings to the little people and enjoy the green wonder of Scottish highland lochs, the rocky cliffs of Ireland and the rolling hills of the English countryside and the wild beauty of Wales.
Heres a partial list of our fantastic sites: Tour of London, Tower of London, Windsor Castle, Stonehenge, Oxford, Warwick Castle, Stratford-upon-Avon, religious history sites, Northern Wales, Tintern Abbey, Conwy Castle, Alnwick Castle (Hogwarts), Roselyn Monastery, Edinburgh Castle, Glasgow, Scottish Highlands, Ferry to Ireland, Belfast, Ireland Coast, Dublin and more.

Archaeology Students Explore Hidden History of Bradgate Park
Original post date: 12 June 2015
Archaeologists from the University of Leicester have started unearthing secrets from the past at Bradgate Park.
Over the next five years, academics, professional archaeologists and students from the University's School of Archaeology and Ancient History, will be working together to uncover the many mysteries of Leicestershire's 850-acre deer park.
The public park in Charnwood Forest, Leicestershire is best known as the birth place and childhood home of Lady Jane Grey - the 'nine days Queen'. It attracts half a million visitors annually.
Project co-director, Dr Richard Thomas from the University of Leicester's School of Archaeology and Ancient History explains, In terms of an archaeological landscape, Bradgate Park is about as good as it gets. We have identified multiple sites of interest spanning the past 12,000 years. Careful excavation will not only allow us to explore the world of Lady Jane Grey and her family, but chart how people have engaged with and altered this landscape since the last Ice Age. The project will also provide a fantastic opportunity for training in archaeological practice for our students.
The first season of excavation which will last six weeks began on Monday 8 June, and is focused on a moated site identified to the west of Bradgate House, thought to be the home of the medieval park-keeper, or a royal hunting lodge. It will last six weeks
This is the start of a really exciting project for us as we don't know a lot about many of the features of the park. Archaeologically speaking it is an untouched landscape. We are incredibly grateful to the Bradgate Park Trust, Historic England and Natural England for helping make this project a reality. All of our students will have the opportunity to visit the landscape over the next five years which will provide them with invaluable practical experience of excavating many different kinds of site. added Dr Thomas.
The Bradgate Park fieldschool project as it is known will encompass a series of targeted excavations, topographic and geophysical survey, environmental reconstruction and standing building survey.
In future years, other sites of interest will be explored, including the site of Lady Jane Grey's house, a Palaeolithic open site - one of only a few in the United Kingdom - and an enclosure of possible prehistoric date.
Director of the Bradgate Park Trust, Peter Tyldesley, said: There are three main reasons why we are welcoming the University of Leicester to explore Bradgate Park. Firstly through sheer intellectual curiosity; we know that there is a lot of history and archaeological interest here, but we want to know more about what it is. Secondly, the more information we know about the site, the better we can manage and protect it; and thirdly so that we can share the story with the public. The department has a fantastic reputation and so we are delighted to be working with them to discover more about the park.
On Saturday 27 June, the University of Leicester team will be hosting a free family open day for members of the public to learn more about their discoveries at the park and there will also be an end of season excavation tour on site on Saturday 11 July as part of the Festival of Archaeology.

The History of Mr. Polly Audiobook by H. G. Wells | Audiobook with subtitles
A funny and touching account of the imaginative Mr. Polly who, bored and trapped in his conventional life, makes a U-turn –- and changes everything.
H.G. Wells’ early life as the son of a semi-insolvent shopkeeper and as a draper’s apprentice fueled his novels of the lower middle class: The Wheels of Chance (1896), Kipps (1905), and The History of Mr. Polly (1910). These works evoke the desperation of apprentices, clerks, and small traders in their monotonous toil behind shop counters. And, like Mr. Polly, his protagonists make a break from their mundane lives with more or less success.
H. G. Wells (1866-1946) was a prolific writer in history, general and science fiction, and politics. He was a lifelong socialist. (Summary by Adrian Praetzellis)

Warwick Castle The Mighty Trebuchet HD
In order to protect its inhabitants during decades of warfare, Warwick Castle was built to withstand deadly attacks and utilised the best defence mechanisms of the age. In this video we let you experience The Mighty Trebuchet, this was once used to hurl huge projectiles to breach the castle walls. Large rocks and stones were the main ammunition but there is evidence of more unusual material. Manure and dead animals were also hurled by the machines into the besieged castle to spread disease.
