market town in southeast Wales, Great Britain.

located just 10 kilometers (6 miles) from the border of England, this town combines proximity to modern industrial life with the rural charms of Welsh landscapes. The town is settled between the Blorenge and Sugar Loaf mountains, as well as five substantial hills. The Black Mountains and Brecon Beacons national park are also just north of the town's border.

Due to the area's rich history, there are many historical points of interest worth visiting. Perhaps one of the best known is Abergavenny Castle, which dates back to 1075 CE and the times of the Normans. This castle was the site of many battles over it's history, during the 12th and 13th centuries, the Owain Glyndwr Rebellion, and the English Civil War. It was during this last period that the structure suffered much of the damage seen today, so as to prevent it from being used by enemy forces.

This castle site, which overlooks the River Usk, is now home to the Abergavenny museum. The museum is built into the keep and has now been active since the 1950's. It houses relics and artifacts from the Roman fort Gobannium, as wells as pieces from the Mesolithic, Bronze Age, Iron Age, Medieval, Early Modern, and Victorian periods. The other castles and fortifications around are Raglan Castle, Skenfrith Castle, which dates back from the 12th century, and White Castle.

Other interesting historial spots are the Monmouthshire psychiatric hospital, which now has a memorial placed to honor those who died between 1850 and 1950 at that site, St. Mary's Church, and, of course, the various Markets. St. Mary's has some areas that date back to the 12th century and was a repeated victim of the religious struggles that plagued the British Isles during the Early Modern Period. It is now a thriving and beautiful Church, although under perpetual renovations and restoration.

In terms of other activities, there is a Leisure Center, which is well-equipped for sporting people and the Wernddu golf course within a mile of the town. There are cycling paths, sailing at Llangorse Lake, pony rides in the Llangenny Valley, and a racetrack at Chepstown.

For shoppers, there are a variety of giftshops, fashion boutiques, practical stores for hardware and home goods, art and music dealers, in addition to the incredibly popular market, which is held on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. Other specialized markets have their own individual schedules.

Lastly, the accomodations in Abergavenny are varied and of high quality. The main hotels are The Angel, The Swan, and the Abergavenny Hotel. Other smaller inns like the Kings Head, Kings Arms, and the Bellmont Inn are also very accessible. There are bed and breakfasts all throughout the town and camping sites just outside of the town itself. These fine accomodations should make a stay in Abergavenny an enjoyable and interesting one. 

Visiting Historic York

The first mention of the name 'York' was way back in 95-104 AD and it is situated on the River Ouse near its confluence with the River Foss. It is bordered by the Peninnes, the North York Moors and the Yorkshire Wolds. It is a buzzing city with a lively population due to two highly regarded universities, the University of York and the more centrally located York St John University.

York is host to many different festivals throughout the year including the York Ghost festival and the Jorvik Viking festival, also two award winning Theatres and endless live music venues. Due to the amount of young people in the city, the nightlife is in abundance but there is also a huge choice of food available in the many restaurants and bistros. York caters for everyone, whatever your taste in food, typical of this cosmopolitan community.

When visiting York overnight, the choice of York bed and breakfast accommodation is superfluous. The heritage and age of the city means many York b&b's are located within buildings of historical importance or even just that they have wonderful architecture.

The shopping in York is second to none, with many unique and individual boutiques offering gifts and curios as well as designer clothing. The heritage of the city is reflected in the many antique shops and specialized jewellers. This city caters for every age and taste in shopping. The old medieval streets such as the Shambles and Stonegate are unique to the City, just make sure you don't get lost walking down them. With such serious shopping, it is a definite must to stay in one of the many York guest house establishments after shopping in this city!

York is easily accessible by car and public transport. The transport network is excellent due to its Roman foundations with long distance trunk roads leading right into the city. It is easy to get to Doncaster or Tyneside by the A19, the A59 road to Liverpool and the A64 to Leeds which also goes through to Scarborough. The rail network is equally as effective with York being a main stop on the East Coast Mainline from Newcastle to London.

Sony Vaio Vpcy11S1E-s

Plenty of companies deliver their own notebook computers in a variety of styles, although Sony happens to be on this for longer as compared to most. You can certainly trace that all the way back again towards C Line around Feb 2007, which was swapped out with the CR Line within August that time and then the CS Series last year. However, while the outgoing CR was rather practical, the CS has been very a considerable step backward, therefore experts were not stunned to find out it quickly changed by the Sony Vaio VPCY11S1E/S laptop together with the advent of Windows 7.

There are 5 colours accessible: white, red, pink, blue and black. Any pink version no matter individual desire, is most likely the least likable preference of them all. Even consumers that like pink will see that the brighter, additional energetic shade viewed over the lid and hand rest does not sit properly using the somewhat sickly, pale shade applied on the rest in the laptop. No real issues may be made on the alternative options, even though, and we all especially prefer the red/black and white designs.

As for the general style, the VPCY11S1E/S isn't really a type icon, however it's yet another solid, incredibly properly set together laptop computer coming from Sony. While competitors tend to over complicate their models in an effort to stand out, Sony achieves to create a sense of type in a very far a lot more restrained approach. Every thing is within the correct place and posesses function, leaving your selection of coloration to make the statement - in the event that's what you're after.

Option isn't reduced only to colour, either. Even though we are reviewing one particular in the retail bound SKUs, which go for among £650 and £700 determined by where you shop, Sony provides modification possibilities via their web site. Options are not that varied, however it is possible to select fewer RAM, weaker graphics, reduced CPUs and a resulting £579 starting cost or perhaps advancements that consist of a 500GB hard disk and Blu-ray disk, delivering somewhat flexibility.

Connectivity is not too poor, either. Whilst the VPCY11S1E/S laptop doesn't have eSATA or USB 'sleep and charge' abilities, it does have got mini-FireWire - an increasingly hard to find terminal on laptop computers lately. Every thing else is fairly regular, such as: 3 USB ports (2x left, 1x right); High-definition multimedia interface along with VGA for video; a 34mm ExpressCard port, sound jacks (1x earphone, 1x mic); an Ethernet port on the back as well as separate memory card slots for Sony's proprietary types as well as the extra commonly utilized SD card format.

Yet another strength of this Sony Vaio VPCY11S1E/S is its display screen. Measuring 14.1in and when using the industry standard 1,366 x 768 native resolution it's not a masterpiece, it still experiences the comparatively shallow watching perspectives and glossy, reflective coatings of all notebook computers within this sector and value. But colours are just somewhat punchier, black levels a little bit deeper and whites a tad cleaner when compared with the normal, doing it greater in comparison with several we can come across.

Equivalent plaudits may be granted towards the accompanying touchpad. For starters it is large enough which the currently stylish multi-touch assistance is really helpful, unlike the recent Toshiba Satellite U500. The surface is actually completely clean, though the two buttons seem to be independently hinged thereby provide outstanding tactile response. If you are ever in doubt about precisely what you get if you ever spend a bit more on a brand just like Sony, this sort of finer details should really convince.

And what better way to enjoy such video clips compared to making use of your very own instant-on internet browser? It really is no Google Chrome OS, but pushing the 'Web' key above the laptop keyboard will take you from nothing to a internet page in about Twenty secs. This is really a really neat function that is well implemented.
