Hi All, Came across your site whilst researching a trip I'm having in a few days. What a fantastic web site, from hotels to snippets of info, you have it all!

We are Andrew & Kim, from Willington, near Durham City UK. Lived here all our lives and very proud and lucky to have everything near us, from the coast to the dales, from busy cities to tranquil backdrops.

My latest hobby is my two seater little sports car, a Mazda MX-5. With the weather getting better we have decided to have a ride down to a place called Buxton, anyone heard of it LoL?

Andrew & Kim

PS. Wished I had found this site before booking our hotel, never mind always next time.

Buxton is a Spa Town in the Peak District (Derbyshire), unless of course there is another Buxton in England.  Hope you have a nice time - there is some lovely scenery down there.

Hello Andrew & Kim, welcome to POE, and as you say what a pity that you didn't find the site earlier so you could take advantage of the accommodation bookings, but you have found it now!

Do hope you will taking photos on your trip and will add them to those already on this fabulous site. Have a wonderful holiday.

I quickly went to check on Willington, County Durham (is that the right one) to see where you live, and there are no photos of your town on POE, so maybe you could add some and let us have a look at the area you are so proud to be dwelling in?
