We had a fun day trip! #visitwales #daytrip #castl We had a fun day trip! #visitwales #daytrip #castles
Great to visit Caerphilly Castle today. Its the la Great to visit Caerphilly Castle today. Its the largest castle in Wales and the 2nd largest in the UK. It was built in the 13 century and was the first in Britain to use concrete. It had huge 'water defenses' and you can still see today how formidable it was. It really dominates the landscape in Caerphilly. #castle #wales #welshcastle #welshhistory #britain #britishcastle #britishhistory #daytrip #visitwales #visitbritain #instatravel #travelblog #traveldiary #history #historictravel
The Bristol Museum currently has an exhibition on The Bristol Museum currently has an exhibition on entitled 'Do you believe in magic?'. Its got a lot of info about varying magic beliefs and practices across the world and throughout history. Its also got some great artifacts on display. These 2 in particular caught my eye when I visited yesterday. The item on the left is a Fertility God Figure from Nigeria, circa mid 1800's. The information stated it was associated with the festival performed for the new yam harvest, and was made hy either the Ijaw or Ibo people. The item on the right is a head from a War Canoe. The info for this one stated its purpose is to protect the canoe and warriors from storms and water spirits. Its from the Solomon Islands, mid 1900's. #history #museum #magic #bristolmuseum #artifacts #historicalartifacts #historypic
One of the most impressive things on display at th One of the most impressive things on display at the Bristol Museum is this Wall Relief. Its from the Palace of Ashurnasirpal II, which was in the city of Nimrud in the Assyrian Empire. The modern location is Northern Iraq. #museum #history #wallrelief #assyrian #assyrianempire #historic
One of the Egyptian artifacts on display at the Br One of the Egyptian artifacts on display at the Bristol Museum. If your visiting Bristol its well worth checking this place out. Nice diversity of collections and exhibitions. The Egypt section looks at life and death in ancient Egypt. #history #museum #egyptian #becurious
The Pitt Rivers Museum in Oxford does things a bit The Pitt Rivers Museum in Oxford does things a bit differently. It packs in 55,000 artefacts into this space and organises them by type rather than era or area of origin. Its a very impressive collection and covers a massive range of people and time peroids. It was founded by British Army Office Augustus Pitt Rivers who donated his private collection of 22,000 items in 1884. #museum #visitoxford #history #historymuseum #pittsriversmuseum #traveltribe #daytrip
Yesterday on our trip to Oxfore me and @bethofhyru Yesterday on our trip to Oxfore me and @bethofhyrule visited Christ Church College. Its part of Oxford University. The first pic here is its famous staircase. Apparantly it features in a certain film about a wizard (yes I mean Harry Potter). The 2nd pic is the oldest known student graffiti in Oxford Uni. It is reffering to Robert Peel, who studied at the college and went on to become Prime Minister. He was in favour of Catholic emancipation and the university was not. Hence the sentiment against him. The 3rd pic is a view across the college as you enter through the vistor entrance. Its very picturesque! #visitoxford #visitengland #oxforduniversity #history #travelphotography #harrypotter #instatravel #traveltribe #travelblog #historicalbuilding
Hertford Bridge in Oxford, which is also known as Hertford Bridge in Oxford, which is also known as 'The Bridge Of Sighs'. This is because it was alleged to have been based on the bridge in Venice by that name, though that is apparantly not the case. It connects different parts of Hertford College together. The college is part of the University of Oxford. The bridge itself was built in 1914. #bridge #oxford #visitoxford #visitengland #history #englishhistory #travelpic #instatravel #travelphotography
