Britain: Introduction

[This section is in the early stages of development: 2 May 2007]

I have visited many parts of Britain, and lived in a few. Mostly, I know parts England. I have visited North Wales many times, and Scotland occasionally.

I tend to know towns and cities, which makes me a city person. Three small cities that I know very well are Durham (where I have lived since 1976), Chester (where I lived from 1965 to 1976) and York, which I used to visit several times each year. I also know central London quite well, central Newcastle passably well, and central Birmingham a little. The English city with which I have no familiarity is Leicester.

Northern Ireland

I have visited Northern Ireland only briefly, when I attended a conference held at the Hilton Hotel, Castlepatrick, near Belfast International Airport. Although I could have spent a few hours in Belfast, I opted to return to, and wait in, the airport because I feared for my safety, Belfast having such a fearsome reputation. I should like to visit The Giant's Causeway, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
