Why you should visit this crumbling Norfolk seaside town before it’s too late
If you’ve ever wondered what it might be like to be part of a community that is gradually crumbling into the sea, then you need to visit Happisburgh – and quite soon, too. This village and its famous lighthouse are falling into sea. Norfolk? In autumn? Isn’t it a bit cold? If you don’t like hunkering down in your own seaside mansion after a blustery coastal walk, then yes. But if you don’t go in the autumn, you will be missing out on so much. From November, some of the best seal-watching in the world can be found here. Colonies gather at nearby Horsey Beach for breeding season, so it’s the best time to see pups. There are also beautiful displays of autumn colour. If ever there was a time to pack your fleece and walking boots and head off for a blustery UK break, it’s now. So where do I find my own mansion? August House (or Happisburgh Manor, as it’s known locally) is one of the few so-called “butterfly houses” in the UK, … [Read more...] about Why you should visit this crumbling Norfolk seaside town before it’s too late
Australia’s island paradise with a dark and curious history
An island of sand and lush rainforest beauty sounds like just the ticket for newlyweds – and now parents to be – Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, as they pause to take a breath during their whirlwind tour of Oceania, their first ever as a royal couple. Their 16-day adventure to the Antipodes includes stops in a number of familiar spots – from the Kiwi capital of Wellington to Auckland, New Zealand’s most populous city, and Australia’s holiday heavyweights Sydney and Melbourne. But the island where they will be touching down tomorrow is an altogether more curious destination. Not that they are going there for pure R&R (that will surely come ahead of the birth of their expected child next spring). Lying just off the southeastern coast of Queensland, Fraser Island is a Unesco World Heritage-listed landmass formed entirely of sand. And at more than 75 miles long and 15 miles wide (nearly the same size as Tenerife) it is the … [Read more...] about Australia’s island paradise with a dark and curious history
Da Nang’s Golden Bridge wins special award at The Guide Awards 2018
Among the winners of the awards are also Vietnam Airlines JSC, Azerai Can Tho resort, Paradise Cruises, and the Hanoi-based French restaurant Clover at Ngoc Thuy. With an impressive design resembling a yellow ribbon on the hands of a god, at a height of 1,400m on Ba Na peak, the Golden Bridge has quickly become the most attractive destination in Da Nang since its official launch in early June 2018. The bridge's reputation has even surpassed Vietnam's borders, praised by prestigious news agencies, newspapers and social networks as one of the world's most spectacular walking bridges. As part of the Sun World Ba Na Hills resort run by Sun Group, the birth of the bridge is considered a strong stimulus for Da Nang tourism. Statistics from the central coastal city’s Tourism Department showed that in the first nine months this year, the total number of visitors to Da Nang was estimated at over 6.5 million arrivals, an increase of 27.7% over the same period last year. Of which, half of … [Read more...] about Da Nang’s Golden Bridge wins special award at The Guide Awards 2018
