Cotswold Falconry

A day in the Cotswolds, learning interesting facts on birds of prey, being birds that hunt for food primarily on the wing, using their keen vision. Most these birds glide across the sky using aerodynamics rather than flapping their wings which made it quite spectacular to watch from the ground as they soar 20metres up to the sky.

Chester

Chester has the reputation of being the "English medieval city par excellence", much of the architecture of central Chester looks medieval and some of it is. But by far the greatest part of it, including most of the black-and-white buildings, is Victorian, a result of what Pevsner termed the "black-and-white revival". The city's central shopping area includes its unique Rows or galleries (two levels of shops) which date from medieval times and are believed to include the oldest shop front in England. The Rows are unique in Britain. They consist of buildings with shops or dwellings on the lowest two storeys. The shops or dwellings on the ground floor are often lower than the street and are entered by steps, which sometimes lead to a crypt-like vault. Those on the first floor are entered behind a continuous walkway, often with a sloping shelf between the walkway and the railings overlooking the street.
