London is the capital and largest city of England and the United Kingdom, with a population of around 8.8 million. It stands on the River Thames in south-east England at the head of a 50-mile estuary down to the North Sea and has been a major settlement for nearly two millennia.

Nunnington Hall
Nunnington Hall is believed to be haunted by the ghost of Lady Nunnington, whose dress is heard dragging up and down the staircase. When the sound is investigated it tends to stop.
Doors are known to open and slam shut in the dead of night, with no explanation, and the sounds of weeping have been heard throughout the night.
Rievaulx Abbey
Rievaulx Abbey was founded in 1132 by twelve monks from Clairvaux Abbey as a mission for the colonisation of the north of England and Scotland.
Rievaulx was at the hub of a trade network that extended as far as Italy. Fleeces from the abbey’s flocks were highly prized and Reivaulx became very rich.
Cracking Enigma Code
It is estimated that Cracking Enigma code shortened World War II for approximately 2 – 3 years. It certainly changed the history. I don’t want to think what would happen if German cipher wasn’t cracked. Some say that, with some degree of probability, One American plane could be sent to fly over Central Europe, instead of Hiroshima… (?).
Green Laners Reloaded
Green laning is the act of riding unsealed public highways in cars or on motorbikes, i.e. roads without Tarmac, and is as legal as riding along any other public road. A road-legal vehicle is required, and all same laws apply to users. Driving is slower than on tarmacked roads due to the terrain.
