Visited Sites Eden Project The Eden Project (Cornish: Edenva) is a visitor attraction in Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. Inside the artificial biomes are plants that are collected from all around the world. The project is located in a reclaimed Kaolinite pit, located 1.25 mi (2 kilometres) from the town of St Blazey and 5 kilometres (3 mi) from the larger town of St Austell, Cornwall.[2] The complex is dominated by two huge enclosures consisting of adjoining domes that house thousands of plant species,[3] and each enclosure emulates a natural biome. Design and construction[edit] The project was conceived by Tim Smit and designed by architect Nicholas Grimshaw and engineering firm Anthony Hunt and Associates (now part of Sinclair Knight Merz).

10 Myths and Theories About Stonehenge Just waiting for my human Sweet Heart….How are you? Chihuahua and German Shepherd Heritage Interests Derbyshire Derbyshire ( i/ˈdɑrbɨʃər/ DAR-bi-shər or /ˈdɑrbɪʃɪər/ DAR-bi-sheer; abbreviated Derbys. or Derbs.) is a county in the East Midlands of England. A substantial portion of the Peak District National Park lies within Derbyshire. The city of Derby is now a unitary authority area, but remains part of the ceremonial county of Derbyshire. History[edit] The area that is now Derbyshire was first visited, probably briefly, by humans 200,000 years ago during the Aveley interglacial as evidenced by a Middle Paleolithic Acheulian hand axe found near Hopton.[3] Further occupation came with the Upper Paleolithic and Neolithic periods of the Stone Age when Mesolithic hunter gatherers roamed the hilly tundra.[4] The evidence of these nomadic tribes is centred around limestone caves located on the Nottinghamshire border. Burial mounds of Neolithic settlers are also situated throughout the county. It is not until the Bronze Age that real signs of agriculture and settlement are found in the county.

Pennines Northern England and adjoining areas, showing the general extent of the Pennines The Pennines /ˈpɛnaɪnz/ are a range of mountains and hills separating North West England from Yorkshire and North East England. The region is widely considered to be one of the most scenic areas of the United Kingdom.[5] The North Pennines and Nidderdale are designated Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), as are Bowland and Pendle Hill.[6] Parts of the Pennines are incorporated into the Peak District National Park, the Yorkshire Dales National Park and the Northumberland National Park.[7] Britain's oldest long-distance footpath, the Pennine Way, runs along most of the Pennine chain and is 268 miles (429 km) long.[8] The Cheviot Hills, separated by the Tyne Gap and the Whin Sill, along which run the A69 and Hadrian's Wall, are not part of the Pennines but, perhaps because the Pennine Way crosses them, they are often treated as such.
