Tue, 25 Jan 2011 16:32:44 -0500

There are people that do not even know what Gaelic Games are; they are the traditional sports that are played in Ireland. The two main Gaelic Sports are Hurling and Gaelic football, both of which games are organized by the Gaelic Athletic Association. There are other games that used which are rounders and Gaelic handball. Sadly during the late 19th century in Ireland a lot of these Gaelic games were starting to die out. Luckily, the decline was stopped in its tracks and reversed by the Gaelicr Athletic Association and the Gaelic Revival. The most popular Gaelic games Dublin today are Hurling and Gaelic football. Adults and children can play and there are several age groups, from the under 8’s to the under 18’s and then men and women of all ages.

This is usually on the weekend club matches that are played in every town and village of Ireland. The Croke Park stadium based close to the city centre of Dublin attracts 82,500 every September when the All-Ireland Finals are played. **End Summary** Topics: Gaelic Games]]> Gaelic Sports]]> Gaelic games Dublin]]> Gaelic spo]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Experience Gaelic Games can offer a real taste of traditional Irish sport. www.experiencegaelicgames.com

Ambleside Guest House Walkers Safe with Langdale Rescue Team on Hand

Wed, 24 Feb 2010 15:13:21 -0500

The Old Vicarage is a beautiful Ambleside Guest House conveniently located in Ambleside which is where the Langdale Mountain Rescue Team are also based. This gives the residents that are keen walkers a reassuring piece of mind when they venture out onto the mountains and fells of the Lake District. The service has been in action for many years, even decades. Records date back to 1930 from when people were interviewed about walkers disappearing into the hills and never returning. In those days of course the service was somewhat limited in comparison to nowadays. The rescuers were predominantly farmers or anyone else that was nearby and had time to help. Understandably the equipment was limited, there are even records of five bar iron gates that were used as stretchers to carry the injured off the mountains. In the 1950’s there was a large increase in the amount of people that were interested in rock climbing and so the sport really took off, which meant the mountain rescue service was an absolute necessity as opposed to just being there to help out occasionally. **End Summary** Topics: The Old Vicarage]]> Ambleside Guest Houses]]> Guest House Amblesid]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> The Old Vicarage is comfortable Ambleside Guest House.

Thomas Mawson Designed Lindeth Fell Country House Hotel Beautiful Gardens

Sat, 13 Feb 2010 05:03:13 -0500

Lindeth Fell Country House Hotel is home to some beautiful, tranquil and artistically designed gardens. There are many Bowness Hotels but few that can boast gardens that were designed by the late Thomas Mawson. His work was not particularly well known but he was an incredibly influential designer of gardens. He was born in May 1861 in Scorton near Lancaster and due to poverty he had to leave school aged 12 and work for his unlce who was a builder. It was from this work that his love of gardening grew. Following his father’s death he relocated to London with his mother where he worked in nurseries. He then moved to the Lake District; Windermere to be specific. It was here that he set up a nursery business called Lakeland Nurseries, he did this with his two brothers. This was a lucrative business and from this point Thomas started to concentrate on the actual design of gardens. He designed some fantastic gardens which include Holker Hall, Langdale Chase, Graythwaite Hall, Brockhole and Holehird. In 1909 he designed the formal garden at Rydal Hall which was very spectacular. His designs traditionally included both planting and architecture. **End Summary** Topics: Lake Windermere Hotels]]> Hotels in Windermere]]> Bowness Hotels]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Anyone looking for the finest Luxury Lake Windermere Hotels should consider Lindeth Fell Country House Hotel just outside Bowness-on-Windermere, overlooking Lake Windermere. http://www.lindethfell.co.uk

The History of Brooklands Motor Racing Circuit

Thu, 04 Feb 2010 09:59:33 -0500

The Brooklands motor racing circuit and aerodrome was opened in 1907. It made history as it was the first ever purpose built motor race circuit that was banked in the world. In Britain motorists were restricted to a 20mph speed limit and Brooklands was so popular due to the high speeds that could be reached. Sadly the last race was in 1939 and it was the outbreak of the war that put a stop to any further racing. Brooklands was also one of the first airfields in Britain created by Hugh Locke-King and was also opened in 1907. In 1939 the whole site was handed over to the wartime manufacture of military aircraft. The track was badly damaged due to bombings and was also covered by dispersal hangers and as such the racing never returned. Brooklands was always the home of revolutionary aviation development until British Aerospace ended producing aircraft in 1987. Today the site is home to the Brooklands Museum; a motoring and major aviation museum, which was founded by the Brooklands Museum Trust that was formed in 1987. The purpose was to preserve the traditions and spirit of the heritage destination that it is today. **End Summary** Topics: Hotel]]> Weybridge]]> Chertsey]]> Surrey]]> Brooklands Hotel]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Brooklands Hotel is one of the newest luxury Surrey hotels, located at the historic Brooklands motor racing circuit near Weybridge and Cobham, in Surrey http://www.brooklandshotelsurrey.com
