Kinmel Hall in North Wales – Wales’ next luxury hotel?

By Paul Johnson on May 15, 2006 in Accommodation, Europe, Hotels, Real Estate, Regions, United Kingdom, Western Europe

Rumour has it that Kinmel Hall near Abergele, North Wales, could become a luxury 5-star hotel. However, the buyers will have to get any plans approved by Conwy County Borough Council first since the building only has permission for use as a Christian conference centre right now – the purpose it was bought for over 30 years ago. Derbyshire Investments, who are sole owners of the property as of last March, claim that several hotels chains have expressed interest.

Tanzania welcomes you with open arms, or adorable

Tanzania welcomes you with open arms, or adorable little hands, as we see in this photo. Photographer, Tom McCarthy spent the Summer weeks of 2016 documenting moments from various student travel programs in Tanzania. An inspiring moment of a little boy showing a recently-constructed classroom with a new friend is seen here.
.
Tanzania is home to over 56 million people and is often known for its expansive protected wilderness areas such as the Ngorongoro Crater and the plains of Serengeti National Park. It is home to Africa’s highest mountain, the famed Mt. Kilimanjaro, and the beautiful islands of Zanzibar.

If you have some spare time in July or September,

If you have some spare time in July or September, you might want to consider flying to Alaska as this is the prime time to spot brown bears fishing at Brook Falls in Katmai National Park. The river will be teaming with salmon and this is an open invitation for the bears to join the “all you can eat” buffet.

Holding a mix of decayed temples, chapels, pylons

Holding a mix of decayed temples, chapels, pylons and more, the construction of the Karnak Temple complex began during the reign of Senusret I and continued into the Ptolemaic period. Karnak temple was considered the main place of worship of the 18th Dynasty with the God Amun as its head.
.
Karnak Temple also happened to be a treasury, administrative center and palace for the New Kingdom pharaohs. With different purposes than the Luxor temple, they were both primary cult temples. Many of the Pharaohs contributed significant additions to the temple, such as Hatshepsut, Tuthmose III and Ramesses II. The complex is divided into 3 compounds, but while the precinct of Amun is the largest, it is most of the time considered enough for visitors as it’s quite a complicated layout.

Mid Wales is a place to visit to escape the hustle

Mid Wales is a place to visit to escape the hustle and bustle of day-to-day life. But it has so much more to offer, especially when the sun goes down. Dominated by the Cambrian Mountains, including the Green Desert of Wales, the region is thinly populated. It’s an area with an economy dependent on farming and small businesses but recently, a new type of tourism has emerged that is perfectly suited to Mid Wales’ topography. Star tourism is free, and areas with little light pollution – such as Mid Wales – have become a huge draw for people who are looking to get a better glimpse of the universe and the cosmos. In our latest blog post, @qualitycottages share the best spots in Mid Wales to do a bit of stargazing.

Home to the world’s most enduring ode to marriag

Home to the world’s most enduring ode to marriage and love, the Taj Mahal, Agra, is a destination that has a rich history. The home base of the Mughal Empire, Agra still has many beautiful mosques, bustling chowks and ancient bathhouses. Situated a few hours from the capital New Delhi, Agra can be a great starting point for your visits across North India. There are many five and seven-star hotels here to accommodate your stay. We recommend staying at the luxurious Oberoi Amarvilas. You have a view of the splendid Taj Mahal from your room – making the stay truly special.

Social distancing in the giraffe world! The giraf

Social distancing in the giraffe world!

The giraffe is, in fact, the national animal of Tanzania, which has introduced strict laws to protect this endangered creature. Vast herds of the Maasai giraffe, which is East Africa’s most widespread species of giraffe, can be spotted roaming the Serengeti. They are common in the Serengeti where they are sometimes found in groups of 40 plus. The actual group in this photo shared with us by @sababusafaris had many more members than seen in this frame, and it is fascinating to watch them interact with each other. At one point, they started galloping along the water sources, which was a spectacular sight. After a while, they decided to line up in a queue – a perfect motive for this perfect shot! Definitely one to remember, especially since giraffes are at risk in their natural habitat due to a number of factors, including poaching and destruction of their ecosystems and habitats due to increased human activity and habitat changes.
