August is the centre of the summer holidays for the UK and many will be visiting the vast wealth of historic sites, attractions and beaches we have around our shores. At the seaside make sure you look out for those small creatures like sea anemones in the rock pools as well as any jellyfish that have been washed ashore.

At many of our historic attractions, such as Castles, Abbeys, Historic Houses, there are a raft of special events taking place to bring the attraction to life, whether it be staff dressed in period costume and cooking the food of the day, or the dedicated army of re-enactors who like to show off their skills, these can be Army musters, Jousting for Kings, or 1900's wartime displays. Don't forget to also look at the sky for the aerial acrobats of Spitfires and other aircraft or the slow soft jaunt of Hot Air Balloons where they can be found in large numbers at events such as the Bristol Balloon Fiesta this month.

As long as the weather stays good, whether your home or way in another part of the UK the summer is a good time to be out an about soaking up the sun, the activities, or getting exercise along our Heritage Coasts and Coastal Paths or Canals and Waterways. The brighter longer days give various opportunities for some great photography. Happy Holidays!

Let's Explain How This Resource Works

Our most popular feature is the monthly diary covering interesting and unusual things on, around the UK, in the two months ahead. Our monthly front page/newsletter, from the beginning, is still available and can be accessed via our 'recent editions' link.

Everything that appears amongst these pages, or ever has, is indexed in a number of ways, alphabetically, by topic, by county, and often linked in to sections. Many of the sections have their own front doorways so people with specific interests have direct access through these doors to their area of interest.

All of our links are coded showing you if it's an external link or one of our own pages and when it is, the type of page it is. A key to the most popular codes is at the bottom of the contents panel on the left and clicking on any of the symbols will bring up a full list. On any page, holding your mouse over one of these symbols tells you what it means.
