[ April 3, 2010 to April 25, 2010. ] over 50 different events take place over the 3 weeks at almost as many locations
It has been announced this afternoon that the National Heritage Memorial Fund will give £1.285 million to save the Anglo-Saxon Hoard that was found last year in fields in Staffordshire. (see CD-Traveller 15/1/2010 and 30/9/2009) This, together with the money raised by the councils and the public donations, will enable the hoard to be kept in the area. As such it will form a considerable visitor attraction in the years to come.
It has also been announced that there will be an archaeological dig in the area to see if it is possible to decide why the hoard was left there or whether there are other finds in the area.

Whether you’re staycation-ing or vacationing, CD Traveller tells you what’s happening in the travel world
I had an e-mail this morning from a tour operator in Mongolia asking (in German for some reason) if we would work with them to bring tourists to the country. It isn’t unusual for CD-Traveller to be asked this sort of thing and all are declined. But what struck me about this e-mail was the address it came from; Wedding Palace, Room 3. What a great address at which to stay and so different from the Bide-a-Whiles, Marine Hotels and Beach Plazas that crop up so often.
I got to thinking about some of the more interesting names which I’ve come across.
