Building An Authoritative Travel Blog

Authoritative blogs seem all the rage at the moment but what exactly is an " Authoritative Travel Blog ?" Well my understanding of the matter is it is a blog that is not only very informative to the readers but that the information comes from authoritative type people in connection with what they are writing about.

Hopefully my articles below will give an insight on travel and travel related experiences from all over the world from many authoritative writers as they have been there and done that.

Articles will be and are published often and this means current travel experiences and up to date places to visit. If you have also visited these places or wish to comment then please do so remembering this blog is intended to family orientated visitors so please be respectful.

I have seen many fears raised through my article site and feel that any traveller today that, for one reason or another, decides against travel insurance then they are possibly being a little short sighted. We do not want our boats to sink but are happy to carry life rafts. travel insurance is a similar idea. We do not wish to ever claim on it but if things go wrong as they sometimes do it is a benifit to have the insurance.

Short Breaks In UK, North Wales - The Ultimate Destination

By Arthur Townlands

It is a well known fact that taking short breaks are beenficial, everyone should do this and in the UK this is an easy thing to accomplish. This s a small island, with big history and a brilliant public transport system so short breaks in UK are easy to do, inexpensive if out of season and there is no reason not to do this.

Because I love it so much, I am going to talk about North Wales as being the ultimate UK short break destination. The countryside is dynamic and visiting is almost like being in another country. The language they speak is Welsh, but don't worry, they also speak English. From the moment you enter North Wales the name change and reading town names can be difficult for overseas tourists, but don't worry the locals are friendly.

One of the most beautiful places in North Wales is the Snowdonia National Park, Mount Snowdon is the highest peak in the UK, south of the Scottish highlands. And it is here that Sir Edmund Hillary prepared for is accent up Everest. It is the perfect place for hikers, climber, walkers, mountain bikers and worshipers of natures' beauty at its best.

North Wales has the best beaches in the UK too, these are award winning beaches and the Llyn (pronounced hlin) Peninsula is the home of the Black Rock sands of which dunes are of special scientific interest. This beach is popular for surfers and you can enjoy unbelievable views of Cardigan Bay from here. Lligwy Beach received a Green Coast Award and a 10mps speed limit, so it is the ultimate slow-paced beach to relax on.

A visit to Beaumaris Castle is a must and the medieval town of Beuamaris it quite beautiful. When they say it's all in a name, they mean it in relationship to this town. The name is derived from the French/Norman and it means beautiful marsh. The castle is from the era of King Edward I and it has murder slots (defense for the inner bailey), spy holes, a moat and a drawbridge. Work began on this castle in 1295, continued for 35 years and was never finished, not that you would know, because it is a technically perfect example of a castle of its time, and the best surviving example in the world.
