The Conwy Valley line was constructed by the London and North Western Railway with the primary aim of transporting dressed slate from the Blaenau Ffestiniog quarries to a specially built quay at Deganwy for export by sea. The original plans envisaged a railhead at Betws-y-Coed and a large goods yard was established with intended interchange to a proposed narrow gauge line.Six trains each way per day call on a regular basis Mon-Sat (approximately every three hours), with three trains each way on Sundays between May and early September.

The Wirral Way is a path on the track of an old railway that goes from West Kirby to Hooton in mid-Wirral offering superb views over the Dee Estuary to Wales. Originally the railway formed a circuit of Wirral and this is the missing link.
It is situated within Wirral Country Park. Wirral Country Park is a place of contrasts. Birds nest in the dense hedges or feed on the berries in winter, and you may see up to ten kinds of butterfly in summer. From the boulder-clay cliffs look out over the Dee Estuary across its 31,500 acres to the Welsh shore, 5 miles away, and on a clear day you can see the familiar outline of Moel Famau in the Clwydian Hills. The estuary's ever-changing light, broad vistas and westerly sunsets reflected in the mudflats and the sea are a constant delight.

Elterwater is a village in the Lake District and the county of Cumbria. The village lies half a mile north-west of the lake of Elter Water, from which it derives its name. Both are situated in the valley of Great Langdale.
In the past, the principal industries have been farming and quarrying, with evidence of both still very visible.
John Ruskin attempted to set up a lace making industry here and artist Kurt Schwitters was a resident of nearby Chapel Stile, where one of his Merzbarn project was created.

Built in the mid 1800's Liverpool has many Neoclassical buildings
The unique ensemble of High Victorian neo-classical buildings around William Brown Street has been labelled the city's "Cultural Quarter". Located here are the William Brown Library and Museum opened 1860; it now houses the World Museum Liverpool and Liverpool Central Library), the Picton Library by Cornelius Sherlock 1879, and the Walker Art Gallery by Sherlock and H. H. Vale 1877. Not strictly a neo-classical design and much closer to Beaux-Arts architecture, the County Sessions House 1884 next to the Walker fits in with its more playful classical vocabulary.

Hawarden Bridge railway station is on the north side of the bridge, while Shotton station is on the south side.Hawarden Bridge was designed by the civil engineer C.A. Hobson; he decided to opt for a metal structure, using steel, which was a recent but proven material amongst railway engineers of that era.River traffic still travels underneath Hawarden Bridge. Perhaps most significant is the traffic from Airbus’ nearby factory at Broughton; the large wings of the Airbus A380 superjumbo are transported from the facility on barges along the Dee roughly three times per week.It has been protected as a Grade II listed structure. It was built by the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway, as part of the Chester & Connah's Quay Railway. It opened on 3 August 1889.

Liverpool 8 lies within the borders of the ancient township of Toxteth Park. Industry and commerce are confined to the docks on its western border and a few streets running off Parliament Street. Toxteth is primarily residential, with a mixture of old terraced housing, post-World War II social housing and a legacy of large Victorian houses.Two of the city's largest parks, Sefton Park and Princes Park, are located in or around Toxteth. The earlier Princes Park was laid out by Richard Vaughan Yates around 1840, intending it to be used as open space, funded by the grand houses to be constructed around its edge, as would later happen with Sefton Park. Sefton Park was created by the Corporation of Liverpool in 1872, inspired partly by Birkenhead Park, across the River Mersey. Sefton Park has a large glass Palm House, which contains a statue of William Rathbone V unveiled in 1887, and originally had many other features including an aviary and an open-air theatre.

This delightful Georgian church stands in an isolated position with only a farm for close company. St Giles was the traditional burial place of the Constables of Wassand. It is built of a mix of cobble and brick, with a lovely west tower under a pyramidal roof which gives the church a distinct Italian aura.There are no electric lights; the interior is lit by oil lamps. Near the west entry is a rebuilt Norman tub font bearing very rustic geometric patterns. The most interesting historic feature of Goxhill church is to be found in the tiny chancel.Set into the floor is a wonderful effigy in relief, dating to the later 14th century. The effigy is that of Johanna de Lellay, dressed in long, flowing robes. The carving is very fine; the details of Johanna's headdress and necklace are very well executed.The effigy slab is ringed with an inscription in Latin which translates as 'Pray for the Soul of Johanne who was the wife of Radulph de Lellay who here lies'.On the floor opposite the effigy is a 15th-century piscina bearing the arms of the Lellay family.
