My Goals for Wikivoyage

 * To contribute to articles in less "popular" languages.
 * To assist translations of content across languages.
 * To encourage and enable the appropriate usage of Wikivoyage content on other travel web sites.

About
I'm trying to help travellers who cannot read a “popular” language (and are therefore under-served by existing online travel services), and travellers whose destination is so obscure that information and reservation services are not elsewhere available.

My goals are to:
 * Utilize, and encourage contributions to Wikipedia's place articles, and, preferably to WikiTravel.
 * Enable travellers to research destinations and make reservations in their language & currency.
 * Provide actual customer's reviews (not marketers') in a variety of languages.
 * Help travellers immediately identify travel companies that provide the best combination of: good prices, customer support (in the traveller’s language), and fair policies.

User:(WT-en) Tristan Thomas/Cotswold Water Park

Region name is in Country name.

History
Thanks to an ice age xxxx years ago, much of the area has plentiful gravel and sand deposits just below the surface. In the last fifty years, these have begun to be quarried by mineral companies, resulting in the creation of 147 pits, which have been remodelled into lakes. Initially, when digging, no thought was given to potential uses after gravel extraction and so the pits were dug with steep sides in rectangular shapes, making them totally unusable for wildlife, fishing and water-sports. In later years, they were often remodelled and sold to individual buyers, resulting in the lakes currently being owned by more than 40 individuals, the majority of whom use them privately. Recently, however, the potential of the area has been realised meaning that the Water Park area is now host to a myriad of pleasure lakes, hotels and second homes. And there is still more-according to the Cotswold Water Park Society, 7 mineral companies are currently extracting 2 million tonnes of gravel and sand a year, with permission granted for a further 3.7 square kilometres. Current estimates reckon there are supplies for more than 50 years still present.

Orientation
The Water Park is split into two main sections-East and West. The Western section is the collection of lakes enclosed by Somerford Keynes, South Cerney and Ashton Keynes. The Eastern section is the collection surrounding Fairford. A central section is beginning to emerge as the majority of quarrying is currently taking place in that area and will do in the future, namely the area between Cricklade and Down Ampney. Down between the East and West section is the A419; a main trunk road joining the M4 to the M5. Broadly to the North is Cirencester and to the South is Swindon, both major towns, with Swindon bordering on a city. You are likely to be staying in or near the Western section, which is where the majority of public lakes are, including hotels, pleasure lakes and holiday homes.

Climate
The Water Park, as with all of the UK is not the hottest part of the world, but by no means is it unpleasant. Summers are typically warm and damp, but not too much of either and winters are generally mild and wet, with snow rare. This means that it it is pleasant enough to take part in most activities all year round, save for the occasional cold snap. It is advisable however, to "be prepared"! The weather can change quite suddenly and in the summer it is not uncommon to have rain followed by sunshine followed by rain again! The majority of the time you will be treated to a beautiful English day, with no rain, wind or sleet!

By train
Getting to the Water Park by train is easiest by aiming to finish your journey at Kemble Station, just outside of Kemble (surprisingly!) This is normally achieved by going via Swindon, which is serviced by very frequent services from London Paddington, as well as other major cities. From Kemble, your best option is a short taxi journey to your destination, but if public transport is the only option, then there are buses from Kemble to other locations, although it is worth checking whether it might be quicker to get a bus straight from Swindon.

By car
The Water Park is about 12 miles from Junction 15 on the M4 and about 30 miles from the M5. It can also be reached within an hour from Oxford, Worcester, Gloucester, Bristol and Salisbury. Arriving by car is the easiest method of transport, as it can be useful for getting around during your stay. However, not having a car is by no means the end of the world, as the area is rightly famed for its walks and bike rides!

By bus
In order to reach the Water Park by bus, you normally need to go via Swindon, which can be easily reached from London and other major cities. From Swindon, there are then many services running between the surrounding villages, however, although reliable, these are often infrequent to the smaller villages, so it's necessary to check before you travel.

By plane
The Water Park is within easy driving distance of Bristol Airport at about 50 miles, as well as Heathrow, Southampton and Birmingham, all of which are under 100 miles away. If you are fortunate enough to have access to a light aircraft, then you can fly in to the recently renamed Cotswold Airport, just outside the village of Kemble and experience the pure luxury of private aircraft flight! From the major airports, it is simplicity itself to hire a car or hop on a train to Kemble, via Swindon.

Get around
Getting around in the Water Park is pretty easy thanks to the relatively short distances involved. By far the best way is to cycle or walk. As detailed later, there are a multitude of excellent cycle paths and footpaths and many attractions are within an easy distance. The closest cycle hire firm is xxxx in yyyy. However, if you do need to go that little bit further afield, there are many taxi firms in Cirencester and Swindon, all of which offer decent rates and reliable service. The closest to the Water Park is probably xxxx, but they are all very similar. As mentioned earlier, there are quite a few small bus routes visiting the surrounding villages, but you are best advised to check in advance, as these can occasionally require a much longer journey than wanted.

Nature Reserves
The best time to visit is in June, when the wildflowers the meadow is renowned for are in full bloom. Look out especially for a variety of orchids and the nationally rare Carex Filiformis, better known as the Downy-fruited Sedge. Earlier visits during April will yield views of the famous Snakeshead Fritillary, which can also be seen at North Meadow Nature Reserve. Be aware that the hay is cut in July, so visits then won't be much! Wiltshire Wildlife Trust also request that you keep to the edge of the field to avoid damaging the flowers and that dogs are allowed, but must be kept on a short leash at all times. This is a beautiful meadow well worth a quick visit and photo stop.
 * <see name="Clattinger Farm" alt="" address="" directions="Go along the Malmesbury to Cirencester road (A429) and then turn at the village of Crudwell, towards Eastcourt. Turn left at Eastcourt for Oaksey. At Oaksey turn right at the first mini-roundabout and straight on at the next one (for Ashton Keynes). 1.5 miles after the railway bridge turn right towards Minety. The reserve entrance (look out for a stile) is marked about 0.5 miles on the right, opposite the entrance to Swillbrook Lakes Nature Reserve. There is parking on both sides of the road at grid reference SU 017937." phone="" url="http://www.wiltshirewildlife.org/WeAkup8FUUy_dCOM_ZJSvw%3D%3D/Reserve.aspx" hours="" price="" lat="51.6385" long="-1.98406">Clattinger Farm is a hay meadow which has been owned by Wiltshire Wildlife Trust since 1996. According to the trust it is considered the finest remaining example of enclosed lowland grassland in the UK.  It also has legal protection as a Site of Special Scientific Interest and is part of a larger Special Area of Conservation.

 * Cokes Pit is managed by the Water Park Society and has been since 2002.  A former gravel pit it is now a Local Nature Reserve and according to the society "is home to breeding reed bunting, tufted duck & great crested grebe; water vole, water shrew and nightingale; vast numbers of dragonflies; and lesser bearded stonewort. In the early summer months it is worth visiting Coke's Pit at twilight, when the bats are flying low over the water catching their supper - if you are lucky you will see both the Daubenton's bat and the smaller Pipistrel."  There is a large central information board along with smaller, more detailed boards around the edge on the boundary footpath.

 * North Meadow is one of the most famous reserves in the area, mainly for its large collection of Snakeshead Fritillaries.  It is a Special Area of Conservation and is managed by English Nature.  Spring is the best time to see these fritillaries, along with marsh marigold and cuckooflowers.  During the summer, the meadow explodes into life, with insects and birds aplenty.  The flowers mainly consist of colourful haymeadow flowers, such as greater burnet, cowslip, meadow buttercup and yellow rattle.  There is disabled access, but beware that during the winter the meadow is often flooded, making most access impossible.  Please always stay to the footpath and enjoy a great view of English countryside and nature!

 * The place to go for birdwatching!  Run by the Wiltshire Wildlife Trust, this is an amazing spot to see those flying creatures all year round.  During the spring, look out for warblers and nightingales in the hedges.  By the summer, the area has been taken over by dragonflies of every variety, followed later by hobbys to feast on them!  During the autumn the ducks begin to arrive in preparation for the winter.  Look out especially for the spectacular plumage of the drakes.

Season #4: Time To Get Serious (2011-12):

26 September 2011: Beijing, China! Hopefully can make visa so no need for transit in <24 hours 28 September 2011: changed my return flight to Hong Kong. Would like to visit China, but it's National day just a few days after... I worry it'll be very problematic to travel cheap on those days 29 30 September 2011: Turbojet ferry to Macau (typhoon Nesat caused storm warning No.8 on 29 Sep, so all ferry services were shut down) 1 October 2011: Tiger Airways (SEAir marketed by Tiger) now flies very cheap ( and not too late it was 2,5 hours late, but still earlier than other low-cost options from HK/Macau) to Angeles City, Philippines 3 October 2011: Manila 5 October 2011: promo $32 ticket to Boracay (directly to Caticlan airport!) island 10 October 2011: Kalibo 11 October 2011: Manila 12 October 2011: Kuala Lumpur 13 October 2011: Penang, but finally didn't continue further north to Hat Yai, as was planning before 17 October 2011: Kuala Lumpur, tried the last opportunity to apply for Indonesian visa, sat 2 hours and still had 25 people in front of me when the visa application counter closed :( 19 October 2011: LionAir's flight to Jakarta, Indonesia 17 December 2011: Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and usual overnight stay in LCCT 18 December 2011: morning flight to Chennai, and this time Mochi also goes to India! 18 December 2011: same-afternoon flight to Madurai, booked as an award using my JetPrivilege miles :) 21 December 2011: train to Trivandrum (this time to "splurge" on First Class (FC) - despite the name, the price is between 2AC and 3AC class, because it's a classic non a/c version, a bit dusty but still private, and ~$17 for both!), then a day trip from there to Kanyakumari. Finally ended up staying in Kovalam when got back 23 December 2011: again Kochi (but this time with Mochi :D ) 27 December 2011: train (here and after SL class, unless otherwise stated) to Goa, either via Mangalore, or directly if as waitlisted tickets would be were confirmed. Stayed with friends (on the rooftop of the house they rent) near Morjim (surprised, but this year it is not as "Russian" as I was scared before, well, especially if far from the beach) ... New Year on the rooftop with friends, a couple of parties visited, plus motorbike and/or local bus trips around northern half of Goa 13 January 2012: Belgaum (by train) - Hubli (by bus), then after a hour or two to: 14 January 2012: Hospet - Hampi 17 January 2012: Hospet - Hyderabad (with an odd 5 hours stop in Guntakal) 20 January 2012: Bhubaneswar (19 hours and over 1100 km, the longest overland segment of our trip) 22 January 2012: Puri (crazy, but not so bad) plus a short bus trip to Konark (much nicer and quieter) 24 January 2012: train to Kolkata (in the 3AC class, but looks it may be new 3AC Economy mew AC Sleeper class, because the price is exactly in the middle between SL and normal 3-tier AC) 26 January 2012: flight to Bangkok (it was cheaper to go to Jakarta this way, including all trains, than via Bangalore/Chennai and KL... and if cheaper and can visit Thailand - why not?) 30 January 2012: Chiang Mai, after more than a YEAR of absence 7 January 2012: Bangkok - Pattaya 11 January 2012: Bangkok to catch a train to 12 February 2012: Hat Yai, just for a day instead of planned 3 day, with a day trip to Songkhla 13 February 2012: Penang, Malaysia 15 February 2012: Mochi flies to Jakarta 17 February 2012: I go by train to Kuala Lumpur 18 February 2012: and then fly to Jakarta as well 21 May 2012: Legian, Bali (cheapest room on Bali - Rp 23,800 (<$3) for this night in TuneHotel Legian!) 22 May 2012: Ubud 27 May 2012: Kintamani (Awaredance 4) 28 May 2012: Ubud plus return motorbike trip to the airport to pick up Mochi 29 May 2012: Kintamani and back to Ubud after the party is over 30 May 2012: Kuta to meet friends - back to Ubud 1 June 2012: around Ubud plus Pantai Ketewel (just down from Sukawati) 2 June 2012: Goa Lawah plus several less-known beaches between Padang Bai and Sanur - Gianyar 3 June 2012: Tanah Lot - Jimbaran - Ubud 4 June 2012: Sanur - Denpasar - Sanur - Ubud 5 June 2012: Legian, again TuneHotel 6 June 2012: Jakarta - Phuket Town, Thailand 7 June 2012: return trip to the flooded Patong beach 9 June 2012: Bangkok - Pattaya 10 June 2012: Bangkok 17 June 2012: Pattaya 19 June 2012: Bangkok 22 June 2012: Moscow, Russia (Thai Airways - redeeming the miles collected on Thai/Swiss/Egyptair during previous 3 years)

... also I seriously think of:

- continuing to live mostly in my favorite 3 countries (now with accent to Indonesia, coz finally have found a PERFECT gf there :-) but wish if she can find a job in Thailand, ideally in the best city I've been so far - Chiang Mai!)

- visiting Yunnan province, China some time... and China itself too (already planned this autumn, but... next time)

- (some time) going from Thailand to Moscow or vice versa by land (yes, being Russian, I've never been in Siberia!! Even though finally flown over it in June 2011 on HK-Moscow flight) :-D ). And yes, I want to make a BUDGET trip of that - so, looks like I'll use domestic Russian trains till Mongolian border, then local trains in China as well, rather than "western-tourist priced" direct Moscow-Beijing and Beijing-Hanoi trains. Frankly, being native Russian, I'm still more concerned about the Russian part of the trip.

- visiting more (and, if I can stay longer without Internet for work, more remote) places of Indonesia!

- when I have both time and money (problem is now I never have both same time :-D ) - using my Aeroflot bonus miles for some normally expensive flight to the part of the world completely unusual but still interesting for me. Such as to Jamaica or (not so expensive from Moscow, but I want to visit this country anyway) Cuba; some other Latin American countries, or, even, for flying from Asia to islands of Oceania)

- as South/SE Asian countries are mostly (and often not once) visited, I am looking to Australia and New Zealand, not so far from here. The problems are: 1) making visa there while in SE Asia; 2) significantly higher prices than in Asia

2010-2011 season (24.10.2010 - 28.06.2011)

Welcome to Wikivoyage!
Hi NAME! Thanks for your edits on PLACE, they are much appreciated!

I thought I'd just drop by and welcome you to Wikivoyage. If you want to specialize your experience you may want to consider editing your preferences.

It would be a good idea to have a quick look at our list of tips for newcomers to get a feel for what we are trying to achieve on Wikivoyage, and if you're new to the whole wiki software, also look at the wiki markup to get an idea of how to use the wiki markup.

If you need help, check out Project:Help, and if you need some info not on there, post a message in the travellers' pub or on my talk page. ~

Deerfield Beach Enjoy the sunrise on beautiful Deerfield Beach, Greater Fort Lauderdale’s northern most award-winning, cove-like beaches and the destination’s family playground.

Hillsboro Beach Need to unwind with a tranquil, relaxing day? Hillsboro Beach is Greater Fort Lauderdale's Quiet Escape.

From 1885 until 1892 a mail carrier would make a seven-day journey, walking 68 miles from Palm Beach, through what is now Broward County to Miami. The weeklong trip was spent mostly barefoot walking on the hard-packed sand along the ocean - hence the name.
