Travelling Out & About to see
Castles, gardens, caves, red kites, waterfalls, museums, steam trains.... Here are a few examples:-
Step back in time with Corris Mine Explorers in Mid Wales as you explore the workings of an old Welsh Slate Mine.
Take a walk through time through the vast underground caverns of the disused mines and way back to 1836 when the mines were first worked. See the machinery and miners' tools, their candles and even a packet of cigarettes. It feels as if the miners have just gone with lots of things they left behind still in place.

With the naked eye you are able to see satellites as they sail silently overhead without “blinking”. Meteorites and other sky objects zipping along, all definitely worth while watching!
