Borth-y-Gest is a small, quiet harbour just outside Porthmadog. The village boasts a historical significance as a site where ships were constructed before the establishment of Porthmadog. Noteworthy are the "pilot houses," positioned at the harbour's entrance, where pilots would keep watch for ships in need of their assistance. Prior to the development of Porthmadog, Borth-y-Gest served as the starting point for a significant crossing over the wide and perilous Glaslyn estuary. Local residents earned their livelihood by guiding travellers across the hazardous sands of Traeth Mawr, leading to Harlech. Nature enthusiasts can explore Parc y Borth, a local nature reserve nestled in deciduous woodland dominated by ancient Welsh oaks. The reserve is home to various wildlife, including green woodpeckers, tawny owls, and pied flycatchers, making it a delightful destination for birdwatching. On the shoreline lies another nature reserve, Pen y Banc, featuring a blend of coastal rocks, secluded sandy coves, and mixed woodland. Established in 1996, this reserve is an excellent spot for observing wading birds. The mild climate contributes to a diverse range of vegetation, from gorse and heather to blackthorn, crab apple, and birch, creating a welcoming environment that attracts many visitors to its beaches.

Situated 30 km from Söke district in Aydın, Eski Doğanbey village leans against the Mykale Mountains and carries a rich history. Once settled by Greeks, its architecture—homes, shops, a hospital—reflects late Ottoman influences. Named "Domatia" (meaning rooms in Greek), it morphed into "Doğanbey." Abandoned during an exchange, the village's stone houses and scenic charm now attract attention. With wild horses, moonlit landscapes, and rustic allure, Doğanbey remains captivating.

Scenes From My Walk - Historic Village Of Agua Fria Sign and historical photo of man loading firewood onto donkeys. (Credits in the lower right hand corner of the photo). I am proud to call this village home and frequently post photos from here. This village has a number of agricultural sites. Sone are shops, home gardens as well as a marvelous community garden. There are also some places that have farm animals including chickens. Historically the village helped supply food to the City Of Santa Fe and is home to many families that can trace their ancestors back to the settlers from Spain in 16th and 17th centuries. #ScenesFromMyWalk #AguaFria #VillageOfAguaFria #NewMexicoTrue #NewMexicoHeritage #HistoricVillage #PhotoByJeriRae (at Agua Fria, New Mexico) https://www.instagram.com/p/CcyW2mqPKb5/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Buckden Towers, originally known as Buckden Palace, was an important residence belonging to the powerful Bishops of Lincoln. Situated in the charming village of Buckden, this medieval house was extensively renovated in the late 15th century and even housed Queen Katherine of Aragon after she had been banished from King Henry VIII's court. Approaching the complex, I was immediately struck by the beautiful red brick wall that ran along the road front; this road was once the main route from London to York and Edinburgh. Although the village now has a rather forgotten feel, there certainly would have been plenty of activity in Katherine's day.
