I have decided to become all cultural and to visit some of the England's historical heritage.

Just joined the National Trust and the English Heritage to get entry to various places like castles, cathedrals, monuments and stately homes and stuff like that.

Penshaw Monument

Went to penshaw monument yesterday which is on the outskirts of Durham near Chester le Street.

Quite an impressive structure, but was annoyed with what some scroats have decided to do and that's to engrave and vandalise some of the columns. You can go to the top of the structure, but was closed.

Some pictures of the views on the hill of the surrounding area aswell.

Durham Cathedral(March 2012)

Not allowed to take photos inside the Cathedral I did try and got a bit of a telling off lolol.

So took some from the top of the spire after an exhausting trek up the top. Legs felt like they were going to drop off towards the top.

Will post more after my next trip soon

Nice,whe got this castle /ruine in our town. www.kasteelmontfort.nl/
I always played on that when i was younger.
Click on videobeelden and you get a movie of it.
But it doesnt look as impressive as it is when you see it for real.
