The main part of our site, reached from the items on the banner above, has a
section giving info about every country in the world (cleverly named The World), lets you study a complete history of England (Times Past), takes you
on a virtual journey, through every county and metropolitan borough in England, invites you to do and share with others a set of projects (Your Turn) and
has a fun part for you to enjoy (The Club).
We hope you will enjoy watching and reading the material on our site and would love to know that our info creates an infectious desire for you
to find out more.
