Other destinations
Masuria (Mazury in Polish, and Masuren in German) is a lake district. It has over three thousand lakes, the most in the Great Masurian Lakes area. Many of them are connected by channels and rivers, so it is possible to sail hundreds of kilometers from Węgorzewo to Pisz.

Talk
Polish is the main language here. A small German-speaking minority is still present from when the area included part of the historic province of East Prussia before the Second World War. Warmia-Masuria also has a number of ethnic Ukrainians due to forced relocations carried out by the Soviet and Polish Communist authorities after the war.

By car
Masuria and the Mazury Lakes are easily accessible with the numerous roads. Note that the roads are narrow, unlit and sometimes unmarked. There is also a chance for potholes.

By train
Giżycko has a train station with bi-hourly connecting trains to Warsaw and Gdańsk. Note that trips from Warsaw take a very, very long time (6 hours or more) because of the lack of North-South rail connections in Poland, therefore the train takes very many detours rather than a direct route.

By plane
The only airport in the voivodeship is Szczytno's Mazury Airport. The nearest Airports outside are Warsaw's Frederic Chopin Airport, Gdańsk's Lech Wałęsa Airport , and Bydgoszcz's Ignacy Jan Paderewski Airport.

See
The Mazury Lakes played a very important role in World War 2. It was home to the headquarters of the eastern front of Nazi Germany. Because of this, many Nazi relics can be found all around the lakes, ranging from many intact or blown up bunkers to an unfinished canal. Some highlights are:

 * The Wolf's Lair (Wolfsschanze, former Nazi HQ where Hitler resided during most of WW 2) is quite close to the Mazury lakes, just east of the town of Kętrzyn (Rastenburg). It is easily accessible by car by driving over a narrow but very new paved road. You will see large signs on major roads indicating the directions to the hidden bunkers.
 * Sztynort is a small town next to the Mazury Lakes, where you can see an old German style mansion/castle.

Do

 * Sailing is cheap and very popular for both young and old. Take a friend with you that can speak Polish however, so you won't get scammed and get the boat you want for the right price. Generally, sailing boats (i.e. for 6 passengers) are rented out by small companies or individuals, and they do not speak English very well, if at all. Giżycko has one of the biggest harbors in the area and is one of your best bets to get a sailing boat.
 * Ice sailing is a popular sport in winter, when the Mazury lakes freeze up.
 * Fishing is also quite popular here. You will see a lot of smoked fish stalls all around the area, and even on the lakes on small 'vending boats'. Tourists do not need a permit for recreational fishing, for sport fishing, a permit is required which you can get at all major harbors.

Eat

 * Mazuria is famous among Poles for its tasteful smoked fish, available almost anywhere close to lakes.

Drink

 * There are some breweries scattered among the Masurian region, which serve quite good mazurskie beer.

Stay safe

 * Always lock your sailing boat and stash away valuables in non-obvious places. Even if the site where you are camping seems desolate; there are always people around.
 * The Mazury Lakes has a warning system with a flashing light and audio signal on top of high towers on the banks of the lakes. If these lights start flashing, it could mean that a storm is approaching. Even if the sky seems clear, such storms could appear out of nowhere. Such a storm has caused sailing boats to capsize and fatalities have occurred in the past. In case you see such a warning signal, land is your best bet.

Go next
Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship borders four other Polish voivodeships:
 * Pomorskie,
 * Kujawsko-Pomorskie,
 * Mazowieckie,
 * and Podlaskie,

as well as Russia's Kaliningrad Oblast and the Baltic Sea.

Warminster

Warminster is a delightful market town with a friendly population of around 18,000 (2011). The town has many interesting buildings, nearly all of which owe their existence to Warminster's great fame as a successful corn market for several centuries. It has for many years been a holiday haunt, providing visitors and tourists with beautiful countryside, ancient archaeological monuments, excellent recreational activities including walking and cycling and horse riding, plus shopping and plenty of enjoyable attractions large and small.

Understand
The corn market ceased more than a hundred years ago and Warminster is now largely a residential town, with some light industry and military presence.

It is on the edge of Salisbury Plain and at the head of the picturesque Wylye Valley, between the historic cities of Bath (16 miles/26 km away) and Salisbury (20 miles/32 km away). Longleat House and Safari Park, and the Center Parcs resort of Longleat Forest are on its doorstep.

Warminster can be used as a base for visiting around 100 nearby places of interest, including Stonehenge, Avebury, Salisbury Cathedral, Bath Theatre Royal, the Science Museum at Wroughton. Warminster is surrounded by open countryside. Cley Hill, Arn Hill, Battlesbury and Scratchbury Hills, in the immediate vicinity, boast Iron Age hill forts; Copheap Hill and Middle feature burial mounds and strip lynchets.

By car
Warminster sits at the former crossing of the A36 (Bristol to Southampton) and the A350 (Chippenham to Poole) trunk roads. The A362 (from Midsomer Norton and Frome in Somerset) enters the town from the west, while the B390 (Shrewton to Heytesbury) and B3095 (Longbridge Deverill to Gillingham) roads are east and south of the town respectively. The A303 from Exeter to London (M3) also skirts the area south and east of Warminster. The opening of the Warminster Bypass (1988) has diverted much of the through traffic, particularly the stone lorries from the Mendip quarries. The former A36 through Warminster has been declassified and is now the B3414.

Warminster is 10 miles north-west of the A303 junction with the A36 at the Deptford Interchange. The A303 makes a seamless link to the M3 motorway west of Basingstoke. The M4 motorway, connecting London with South Wales, is approximately north of Warminster via the A350, intersecting at junction 17. The M5 motorway crosses the M4 at the Almondsbury Interchange, north of Bristol. The M5 northbound can also be reached via the A350, A429, Cirencester and the A417 joining at junction 11A.

By bus
Buses and express coaches: scheduled service buses operate between Bath, Bradford on Avon, Trowbridge, Westbury and Warminster provided by First Bus route numbers 264 and 265, running twice hourly from Monday to Saturday with a reduced frequency on Sunday. A bus service between Warminster and Salisbury is provided by Bodman’s route 24 and operates hourly from Monday to Saturday. The town enjoys regular local bus services between Monday and Saturday around the town connecting the residential estates and the garrison with the Market Place and local shops and supermarkets. There is also a regular service, no. 53, to Frome. Bus routes also operate between Warminster and several of the surrounding villages. Bus services generally cease operation in the early evening.

National Express service 300, operating between Portsmouth and Bristol, calls in Warminster daily at around 11:15AM northbound and 4:15PM southbound.

Express coaches to and from London (Hammersmith bus station) are provided by Berrys Superfast, on Monday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, departing at 9:30AM weekdays and 1:30PM on Sunday, with return services from London at 5:45PM weekdays and 7PM on Sundays

The majority of buses and both express coach services use the bus stops in Market Place.

By cycle
Information from Sustrans.

By train

There are also a few direct trains to Brighton, Worcester and Cheltenham also operated by First Great Western. South West Trains provide three daily services in each direction to and from Warminster and London Waterloo. The main London Paddington to the West of England line is accessible at Westbury, approximately four miles to the north of Warminster, where fast trains to Exeter, Plymouth, Penzance to the west and Reading and London Paddington to the east are available, with some trains from Warminster making connections. Trains to and from Frome, Castle Cary, Yeovil, Dorchester and Weymouth are also available at Westbury.

Bus services 264 and 265 calls at a bus stop close to Westbury railway station.

Bus and train timetables can be obtained from Warminster Railway Station, the Warminster Information Centre in the Central Car Park and from the bus and train operators’ websites. The Wiltshire Council website also provides comprehensive timetable information on local bus routes.

Landmarks

 * The Obelisk. A triangular monument of Bath stone, at the junction of Silver Street, Vicarage Street, and Church Street. It was erected in 1873 to commemorate the enclosure of the parish. It stands on the site of the former Emwell Cross Barn. A fountain (now disused), made of gun metal, in the shape of a lion's head, is featured on the east side of this unusual column. Former cattle and horse troughs around the base are now planted with colourful flowers. The Obelisk is flood-lit at night.
 * The Town Hall. Designed in the Jacobean style by Edward Blore, at the expense of the Marquess of Bath, and built 1830 to 1832. Donated to the town by Longleat in 1904. Once housed the law courts, with cells below, and a ballroom and function room. Sold to a private buyer in the 1970s. It was used a solicitor's offices, with a restaurant in the basement, and then a market. It was restored in 2016. Not open to the public.
 * War Memorial. At the junction of the Avenue and Portway stands the town's War Memorial, a tall Iona type cross of Box-ground Bath stone, standing 21 feet high and incorporating interwoven rope work and Egyptian art. The names of 115 men who gave up all in the First World War are commemorated. It was designed by Warminster stonemason Egerton Strong whose ancestors had worked with Sir Christopher Wren on the rebuilding of St. Paul's Cathedral after the Great Fire of London. The Warminster War Memorial site was donated by the 5th Marquess of Bath and 2,000 people attended the unveiling of the monument on 29th May 1921. The monument was re-dedicated on 6th November 1949 when the names of 52 townsmen who had paid the supreme sacrifice during the Second World War were added.

Country houses
There are many country houses surrounding Warminster, but only Longleat House and Stourhead are notable and open to the public.

Other

 * Alfred's Tower, near Stourton, south west of Warminster. +44 1985 844785. Built in 1772 on the site where King Alfred the Great is said to have gathered his army prior to defeating the invading Danes in 878 AD.
 * Anzac War Graves. At Baverstock, Codford and Sutton Veny.
 * Australian Anzac Rising Sun Badge, chalk carving in hillside slope at Lamb Down, Codford. Visible from A36 road.
 * Beyond Harvest. In the Cornmarket shopping precinct is a bronze statue of a girl sat high on a stack of grain sacks, gazing dreamily towards Copheap, a beech clad hill to the north of the town. It is the work of the renowned sculptor Colin Lambert and was inspired by a conversation Colin had with local historian Danny Howell about Warminster's role as a great corn market for several centuries and the wealth of archaeological remains locally which include Iron Age hill forts (Cley Hill, Arn Hill, Battlesbury and Scratchbury) and Bronze Age remains such as the burial mound on Copheap.
 * Copheap. Copheap, the hill closest to Warminster, just north of the town, was purchased by the Warminster Urban District Council and soon afterwards it was agreed at a public meeting in 1947 that it should become a war memorial for the town. The purchase price was met by public subscription. Members of the R.A. and Old Comrades associations constructed the Path of Remembrance from Copheap Lane to the base of the hill, with regimental badges being incorporated into the walls at the lower end of the path. A lych gate at the entrance to Copheap is inscribed: "As an everlasting tribute of pride and gratitude to the sons of Warminster who gave their lives in the great World Wars this archway was constructed and Copheap preserved for the perpetual use and enjoyment of all."
 * Heaven's Gate. Overlooking Longleat Park is Heaven's Gate which can be approached on foot along a grassy pathway between pine trees, rhododendrons and azaleas. It was here that Bishop Ken, while a guest at Longleat House (1689 to his death in 1711), wrote his famous hymn Morning.

Do

 * Arn Hill Nature Trail. Arn Hill rises to over above sea level and its beech woodland was donated to the town by the Marquess of Bath in 1920. The Wiltshire Wildlife Trust have established a Nature Trail around Arn Hill which passes a former lime kiln (now in ruins) and rises above the old-fashioned sheep walks of Kidnapper's Hole (a former chalk quarry which supplied the lime kiln). This two-mile circular footpath allows the enjoyment of the chalkland flora and its fauna. In the summer there are Fritillary and Small Blue butterflies to be seen as well as Burnet moths. The birds include skylarks, meadow pipits, tree-creepers and chiffchaffs. From the woods (which feature beech and some yews, holly and wayfaring trees) the path joins the open Plain area around the West Wilts Golf Course, where views look north and east over the vast expanse of Salisbury Plain, southeast to the Great Ridge Woods, south towards neighbouring Dorset, and west into the wetlands of Somerset. A wooden seat on the part of the down overlooking New Farm and Norridge Wood is a good vantage point for seeing the distant landmarks of Alfred's Tower near Stourhead, and the Mendip television transmitter near Wells on Mendip. Access to Arn Hill can be gained from paths off the Westbury Road or from Elm Hill where there is some car parking space. Admission to Arn Hill is free.
 * Bird Watching. The keen ornithologist will not be disappointed with the feathered friends to be seen in the gardens, lanes, fields, woods and hills in and around Warminster. Yellow Hammers, Spotted and Green Woodpeckers, Ravens, Little Egrets, Herons, Barn Owls, Tawny Owls, and Buzzards are common, and if you're lucky you might spot a Red Kite.
 * Christmas Lights. Late Nov to early Jan the main streets of Warminster are illuminated by vivid colour by the annual Christmas Lights display. It is considered to be the best of its kind for miles around, surpassing neighbouring towns and cities. Strings of bulbs and decorations above East Street, Market Place, High Street, George Street and Silver Street are complemented by hundreds of illuminated Christmas trees above nearly every shop front. These are put up (and taken down) by a dedicated team of volunteers. The cost of the trees is met by shopkeepers and business people. A Christmas Market is held in the Civic Centre in late Nov with stalls, children's roundabouts, hot food and mulled wine, Santa's grotto, and a stage where local bands and choirs performed for the public. In the evenings in December, members of Warminster Lions Club, tour the town's residential streets with Father Christmas in a motorised "sleigh", handing out sweets to children and playing recorded festive music and carols, at the same time as Santa's helpers go door-to-door collecting small donations of money for local charities.
 * Cycling. The Warminster vicinity provides excellent cycling opportunities for individuals, families or groups, along byways and other routes and through terrain as diverse as the Great Ridge Woods or Salisbury Plain. The latter is the chosen course for a challenge competition held at New Year, its route includes the roads in the northern part of Warminster parish. Many locals and visitors turn out to watch and cheer on the mountain bikers and other entrants. For those who prefer a less energetic ride the Wiltshire Cycleway features six circular routes. The Wylye Valley route, from Salisbury to Horningsham (on to Mere) is 41 miles and is indicated by blue background signs with white lettering and a bicycle motif. Welcoming pubs and village shops can be found along the way, and the routes link up with off-roading tracks and national byways. The Warminster Cycling Group run an annual event in the summer, often during National Bike Week, called The Warminster Wobble, which encourages everyone from toddlers upwards to get on their bikes. The Endura Trek Cyclosportive, based around the Longleat Estate, offering a 100-mile challenge (160-km), has now become, it seems, an annual event in the local calendar, each March.
 * Dewey Museum, Three Horseshoes Walk, BA12 9BT, . Free admission.
 * Fireworks. On the Friday or Saturday evening closest to 5th November (Guy Fawkes Night) adults and children gather at Gale's Field, between Elm Hill and Imber Road, to see a large bonfire and enjoy a spectacular fireworks display organised by the local garrison and Warminster Lions Club. The evening also features a mini-fun fair, stalls selling drinks and hot food, and usually musical entertainment by a local radio station. Tickets go on sale during the fortnight before the event and are also on sale at the gate on the night.
 * Fishing. The River Wylye, to the south and east of Warminster, is one of the finest chalk streams in Wiltshire, and offers good trout fishing (remember to get your licence). The Warminster and District Angling Club. Founded in 1961 and has over 400 members. Uses Crockerton Lake, Hinton Lakes, Berkley Lake and the River Frome, as well as the waters of neighbouring clubs.
 * Horse Racing. Bath Racecourse, Lansdown, BA1 9BU. . Salisbury Racecourse, Netherhampton, SP2 8PN. . Wincanton Racecourse, Wincanton, BA9 8BJ..
 * Horse Riding. For the horse rider there are several stables in the Warminster area offering liveries and pony trekking. Point-to-Point is popular too. Longhorn Western Riding. at Longhedge Farm, Corsley,, provides trekking in the Longleat area. Warminster Saddle Club. at Oxendean, , not only gives riding tuition but also holds competitions and events including jumping, holiday courses, camps and facility hire. The Puddy family at the White Horse Trekking Centre. at Codford, , offers half day and whole day treks, riding holidays, riding lessons, own-a-pony days, family rides and carriage driving lessons, for all abilities.
 * Lake Pleasure Grounds. In the heart of Warminster and only a few steps from the Market Place is the Lake Pleasure Grounds (known locally as the Town Park). It was established in 1924 (on the site of what had been the town's rubbish dump) and has always been one of the finest parks in Wiltshire; it is very popular with residents and visitors alike. The Were stream, which partly gives Warminster its name, flows through the Town Park. The main entrance is from Weymouth Street but access can also be gained from all sides including the Ridgeway Slope which was landscaped in 1977 and won an award from the Council for the Protection of Rural England. The Lake Pleasure Grounds feature tennis courts, a refreshments kiosk, and a bandstand where, during the summer months, visiting brass and other bands give free concerts on some Sunday afternoons. Also here is the Warminster Park Community Centre, used by many community groups including the Warminster Camera Club and the Wednesday Evening Bingo players. The boating lake has two islands giving a haven to ducks, swans and herons, who seem to ignore the human users of the pedaloes on the lake. The boathouse includes unisex toilets. There are three play areas in the Park: the King George V Playing Field has slides, swings, roundabouts, climbing frames, rocking horses and a paddling pool. Next to it is the Adventure Playground for the more energetic. The Skate Park is complete with half-pipes for use by skate-boarders, roller-skaters and BMX bikers. For those who want to take life at an easier pace there are seats situated alongside the path which circles the lake. The Morgan Memorial Fountain (now out of use), which stood in the busy Market Place until 1937 is now at the western end of the Lake Pleasure Grounds. It is adjacent the Civic Trust Garden. The Lake Pleasure Grounds are watched by CCTV, making this a safe place, particularly for families, and all is enhanced by the flower beds which provide colour all year round. Free admission.
 * Noggin, Nosh and Natter. Organised in conjunction with the Commercial Transport In Preservation group. On the last Wednesday evening of every July. An informal gathering of old, vintage, classic, and interesting vehicles, including cars, vans, buses, lorries, military vehicles, and motorcycles. With barbecue and some trade stalls. In the car park and adjoining fields of The George Inn, Longbridge Deverill, on the A350, approx two miles south of Warminster. Free admission.
 * Playgrounds. There are children's playgrounds, fenced off and gated, with play equipment, at The Dene, Fore Street, Goodwin Close, Grovelands Way, Haygrove Close, The Heathlands, Portway Lane, Pound Street, Princess Gardens, and Queensway.
 * Playing Fields. The Frank Moody Playing Field at Fore Street is much used for football and other games. St. George's Field, on the corner of Boreham Road and Woodcock Road, is another grassed open space, used for football, rugby and sports. Open space with football goal posts is adjacent The Heathlands at Bradley Road. There is a small grassed area adjacent the River Wylye, at the site of the former Smallbrook Mill, below Willow Crescent. Portway Lane Playing Field is another large grass area reserved for recreation and it also serves as the location for Jennings Fun Fair when it comes to Warminster every April. The National Trust field, known as Boreham Field, on the south side of Boreham Road is another popular open space for recreation.
 * Sailing. For those who like messing about in boats, Shearwater, a large man-made lake on the Longleat Estate, near Crockerton, is the venue for dinghy sailing by members of the Shearwater Sailing Club. A clubhouse and mooring area is to the north east of the lake. Regattas provide not only a colourful spectacle but also an exhilerating thrill.
 * Skywatching (UFOs). Strange noises heard over Warminster on Christmas Day 1964, started the 'Warminster Thing' phenomenon, with mass hysteria when people began seeing unidentified objects in the sky over the town, an invitation for the press and television to come and report on a regular basis. Cradle Hill, one mile north of Warminster, and Middle Hill (renamed Star Hill by UFO spotters) became gathering places for "sky watchers" for several years. Local journalist Arthur Shuttlewood wrote many books about flying saucers over Warminster and aliens who came calling on him. Ken Rogers, who formerly worked for the Daily Express, came to live in Warminster and also wrote a book about Warminster UFOs ('The Warminster Triangle'). The town has hosted exhibitions and conferences on the subject which continues to perplex the local community. The singer Robbie Williams visited Cradle Hill, looking for UFOs.
 * Walking and Rambling. Good walking has been enjoyed in and around Warminster for many years. There are hundreds of footpaths and nearly all are well signposted and adequately provided with stiles. Most landowners in the area are walker-friendly and there is a good choice of routes ranging from short town perambulations to long distance walks such as the Wessex Ridgeway. The Imber Range Perimeter Path which skirts around the military training area of Salisbury Plain is clearly defined with waymarkers and is a circular walk of that can be joined or left at many places. For those who want to walk as part of a group there are organisations such as the West Wilts Ramblers who arrange walks from advertised starting points on a regular basis.
 * Warminster Carnival. Warminster has been holding regular carnivals since 1896. Now an annual highlight in the town's calendar, the carnival is held on the last Saturday evening in October, a date specially chosen to attract some of the big illuminated floats from the world-famous carnival circuit in the neighbouring county of Somerset. Most of those taking part, though, are local entries comprising the carnival royalty, marching bands, motorised floats, majorettes and walking masqueraders. It is run entirely by a small but very dedicated group of volunteers who spend all year fund-raising to put the show on the road. Warminster Carnival brings out a huge crowd of spectators who line the town's main streets (Boreham Road, East Street, Market Place, High Street, George Street and Silver Street), making it the biggest-attended spectacle in the life of the town. Solicitations of small change from the crowds are counted up afterwards and donated to local charities. The carnival entries are judged en route and the best are awarded cups and prizes. Spectators can also vote for their favourite entry which is awarded the Danny Howell Spectators' Shield. The week preceding the carnival features several events (Fire Station Open Night, Bingo, Quiz Night, Spot the Mistake in the Shop Window Competition, Treasure Trail, etc.) promoting and helping to fund the grand parade. Jennings Fun Fair also visits the town during this time, occupying the Central Car Park. Details from Sandra Major,.
 * Warminster Festival. Held bi-annually, bringing together various artists and performers from all sections of the arts: readings, poetry workshops, story telling, music groups including classical and pop, arts and crafts and photography exhibitions, guided walks and garden trails.
 * Warminster in Bloom. The main streets of Warminster are a blaze of colour in the summer months with spectacular displays of hanging baskets, tubs and planters. The Warminster in Bloom competition is judged by local dignatories and nurserymen, and at a special ceremony prizes are awarded for the best displays of premises by shopkeepers, traders, pub landlords, and for the gardens of the residents.
 * Playgrounds. There are children's playgrounds, fenced off and gated, with play equipment, at The Dene, Fore Street, Goodwin Close, Grovelands Way, Haygrove Close, The Heathlands, Portway Lane, Pound Street, Princess Gardens, and Queensway.
 * Playing Fields. The Frank Moody Playing Field at Fore Street is much used for football and other games. St. George's Field, on the corner of Boreham Road and Woodcock Road, is another grassed open space, used for football, rugby and sports. Open space with football goal posts is adjacent The Heathlands at Bradley Road. There is a small grassed area adjacent the River Wylye, at the site of the former Smallbrook Mill, below Willow Crescent. Portway Lane Playing Field is another large grass area reserved for recreation and it also serves as the location for Jennings Fun Fair when it comes to Warminster every April. The National Trust field, known as Boreham Field, on the south side of Boreham Road is another popular open space for recreation.
 * Sailing. For those who like messing about in boats, Shearwater, a large man-made lake on the Longleat Estate, near Crockerton, is the venue for dinghy sailing by members of the Shearwater Sailing Club. A clubhouse and mooring area is to the north east of the lake. Regattas provide not only a colourful spectacle but also an exhilerating thrill.
 * Skywatching (UFOs). Strange noises heard over Warminster on Christmas Day 1964, started the 'Warminster Thing' phenomenon, with mass hysteria when people began seeing unidentified objects in the sky over the town, an invitation for the press and television to come and report on a regular basis. Cradle Hill, one mile north of Warminster, and Middle Hill (renamed Star Hill by UFO spotters) became gathering places for "sky watchers" for several years. Local journalist Arthur Shuttlewood wrote many books about flying saucers over Warminster and aliens who came calling on him. Ken Rogers, who formerly worked for the Daily Express, came to live in Warminster and also wrote a book about Warminster UFOs ('The Warminster Triangle'). The town has hosted exhibitions and conferences on the subject which continues to perplex the local community. The singer Robbie Williams visited Cradle Hill, looking for UFOs.
 * Walking and Rambling. Good walking has been enjoyed in and around Warminster for many years. There are hundreds of footpaths and nearly all are well signposted and adequately provided with stiles. Most landowners in the area are walker-friendly and there is a good choice of routes ranging from short town perambulations to long distance walks such as the Wessex Ridgeway. The Imber Range Perimeter Path which skirts around the military training area of Salisbury Plain is clearly defined with waymarkers and is a circular walk of that can be joined or left at many places. For those who want to walk as part of a group there are organisations such as the West Wilts Ramblers who arrange walks from advertised starting points on a regular basis.
 * Warminster Carnival. Warminster has been holding regular carnivals since 1896. Now an annual highlight in the town's calendar, the carnival is held on the last Saturday evening in October, a date specially chosen to attract some of the big illuminated floats from the world-famous carnival circuit in the neighbouring county of Somerset. Most of those taking part, though, are local entries comprising the carnival royalty, marching bands, motorised floats, majorettes and walking masqueraders. It is run entirely by a small but very dedicated group of volunteers who spend all year fund-raising to put the show on the road. Warminster Carnival brings out a huge crowd of spectators who line the town's main streets (Boreham Road, East Street, Market Place, High Street, George Street and Silver Street), making it the biggest-attended spectacle in the life of the town. Solicitations of small change from the crowds are counted up afterwards and donated to local charities. The carnival entries are judged en route and the best are awarded cups and prizes. Spectators can also vote for their favourite entry which is awarded the Danny Howell Spectators' Shield. The week preceding the carnival features several events (Fire Station Open Night, Bingo, Quiz Night, Spot the Mistake in the Shop Window Competition, Treasure Trail, etc.) promoting and helping to fund the grand parade. Jennings Fun Fair also visits the town during this time, occupying the Central Car Park. Details from Sandra Major,.
 * Warminster Festival. Held bi-annually, bringing together various artists and performers from all sections of the arts: readings, poetry workshops, story telling, music groups including classical and pop, arts and crafts and photography exhibitions, guided walks and garden trails.

Warmun

Warmun is an Aboriginal community in the Kimberley region of Western Australia.

The town mostly consists of a roadhouse used as a stop off point for travellers heading to Purnululu National Park. The Aboriginal managed community has a population of around 400 people and is renowned for producing a number of internationally recognised artists.

Warmun used to be called Turkey Creek after a nearby waterway, but is now named in the local Gija peoples language.

History
Warmun's beginnings were far from auspicious. Turkey Creek was established in 1901 as a government depot to distribute rations to Aboriginal people forced off their land by pastoralists in the late 1880s. Many were forced onto government cattle stations through government coercion where conditions were little better. In the 1970s, some Gija people, fed up with dispossession and poverty, asked for government assistance to establish a community at Turkey Creek. Slowly, Gija people related by language gravitated in from the stations and settled into small camps till a permanent settlement was established in 1977. It is now one of the largest Aboriginal communities in the Kimberley.

The Warmun community has strived to maintain a strong culture and tradition. The community owned roadhouse and Art Center are an important part of enabling their social and economic independence. The original Art Centre was established in 1998 inside the former post office until it moved to a modern custom built space in 2007.

Warmun Aboriginal Art
Art in Warmun arose in the late 1970s from the traditional Girrirr Girirr dance ceremony that was derived from stories told by preeminent Warmun artist Rover Thomas. As a forerunner of present-day art, he began painting plywood boards, that were held behind the heads of dancers, with designs imparted to him by the spirit of a relative who described her journeys in the afterlife. His masterful paintings depicting his particular vision of the Kimberley landscape were noticed by collectors and his reputation as an artist in his own right grew. The state gallery in Perth holds many of his finest works. Other artists, including Shirley Purdie, Queenie McKenzie and Patrick Mung Mung have since followed Rover Thomas to gain international recognition as leading Indigenous artists.

Climate
During the dry season average maximum temperatures reach 35°C and hit a humid 40°C during the wet.

By car
Warmun is on the Great Northern Highway, 200 km south of Kununurra, 860 km east of Broome and 160 km north of Halls Creek.

By bus

 * From Broome – Greyhound make a daily run to Warmun (Their schedule insist on calling it Turkey Creek), taking about 12 hours to arrive at 6AM.
 * From Kununurra – A daily Greyhound bus takes a little over 2 hours, arriving inconveniently at 8PM.

By plane
Warmun has an airstrip enabling the possibility of getting a charter flight from Kununurra or Broome. Although, unless you have a lot of money and very little time you might as well stick to the road.

Get around
The town doesn't extend much further a few steps from than the roadhouse. The community itself is across the road from the roadhouse but travellers are prohibited from entering without an invitation.

Buy
The roadhouse has a general store with basic supplies.

Eat
Typical takeaway food is available at the roadhouse.

Drink
Warmun is a dry community therefore alcohol is not available for sale and it would be respectful to keep your beer drinking for elsewhere.

Connect
As of March 2024, Warmun and its approach highway have no mobile signal.

Go next

 * Kununurra – A comfortable base from which to explore the many natural attractions and eat a decent meal
 * Purnululu National Park (Bungle Bungle Range) – A striking jumble of striped sandstone domes is one place that truly deserves to be described as a must see.

Warrenton

Warrenton is a small town located in the Northwestern corner of Oregon. It is the second to last town on the Northern Oregon Coast. There is one last town on the coast of Oregon called Hammond, however locals in the area view them as the same town.

Understand
Warrenton was officially established as a city in 1899, although the first settlement in Warrenton was in the late 1840s.

Warrenton got its name from one of the early settlers, Daniel Knight Warren. Warren's house still stands today just down the road from the city center.

Warrenton sits on an impressive 16.7 square miles of land. Only about 12.3 square miles of that is land, and 4.4 square miles is water. The reason 16.7 square miles is impressive is because of the population. Warrenton's population is relatively small compared to the neighboring Astoria and Seaside. Warrenton only has about 4100 people. With only 4100 people occupying the land, there is a lot of natural resources surrounding the town. Half of the area is surrounded by water, both the Pacific Ocean and the Columbia River.

Get in
US 101 is the main highway to the city leading to Astoria just across Youngs Bay to the east with quick access to other Oregon Coast beach towns like Seaside and Cannon Beach. Astoria Regional Airport is located within Warrenton but does not have commercial flights. NW Connector busses connect Warrenton to Portland with a few stops around town.

Get around
Warrenton has about 5 miles of drivable beach and about 1 mile of drivable river front. Driving on the sand is a unique experience that visitors should try.

Do
If you are into history, then you would enjoy taking one of the tours of the underground gun batteries located within Fort Stevens State Park. The underground gun battery is fairly rare, built about 90 years ago, it served as a military command post during World War II.

If you do not have a vehicle that is capable of driving on the beach, you can take a tour in one of the off-road tour buses that the campground has to offer to its guests.

Make sure to bring your bicycle also. Fort Stevens has miles of trails that ride along the ocean and through the woods. The bike trails will take you everywhere that a car will, but on a bike the views are much more scenic. Along the trails you can see all of the old war buildings and there is also a lookout tower, and if you are lucky sometimes you can see elk out in a field.

Warrenton also has multiple charter fishing boats that you can take advantage of. They will talk you out into the Columbia where you can fish for multiple types of fish. One of the most popular is the Sturgeon.

It was founded by Prince Ginuwa from Benin 60 miles (97 kilometres) north in the late 15th century. With time, the city grew to become the political and trading capital of the Itsekiri kingdom of Warri also known as Ouwerre. From the 15th to the 17th century, the obis, that is, kings, had considerable contact with the Portuguese, and several converted to Roman Catholicism. They later became quite active in the slave trade at that time. In 1884, the kingdom declined and its territory came under British protection in 1884. Nonetheless, Warri  switched to the export of palm oil and kernels in the mid-19th century.

For a long time, Warri has been the market centre for local produce and has also served as a port in the state. The town has also assumed new economic importance with the discovery of natural gas and petroleum in the area. With the establishment of a Petroleum Training Institute in 1972, and in 1978, Warri became the site of Nigeria’s second petroleum refinery and consequently, an oil-products pipeline flows from the refinery to Kaduna and Kano in northern region of Nigeria.

In addition, in 1981 at nearby Aladja area, an integrated steel plant, which was designed to make greater Warri one of the leading steel centres in the country, was established.

Warri City is a melting pot as it is a multi-ethnic city comprising primarily of Urhobo, Itsekiri & Ijaw ethnic groups. There is a large population of several other ethnic nationalities from across Nigeria such as Isoko, Anioma, Igbo, Hausa, and Yoruba. As a result of the increasingly high urban and commercial development of the area, Warri has witnessed an inflow of nonnatives, especially the Igbos.

The city has three local government areas. They are; Warri South Local Government Area, Warri North Local Government Area and Warri South West Local Government Area. Osubi, Ogunu, Okere, Agbarho and Okuokoko are the major neighbouring communities surrounding the city.

Other major surrounding towns such as Effurun, Ovwian, Aladja, Ekpan and the rest has since swollen the size of the area via development to become Greater Warri.

The economy of Warri is sustained by oil refineries and gas companies, and also the available raw materials. These raw materials include steel, silica, silicates which are necessary for the manufacture of different kinds of ceramics.

Talk
The unofficial lingua franca of the city is Broken (Pidgin) English which is understood throughout most of Nigeria. Warri is considered the crucible of the language as new vocabularies are fabricated for the rest of the country from the city.

Get in
The Warri town and port of Delta state lies along the Warri River in the western Niger River 30 miles (48 kilometres) upstream from the port of Forcados on the Bight of Benin.

By plane
The nearest airport to Warri is Benin City (BNI) Airport which is 90 km away. Other nearby airports include: Port Harcourt (PHC) 145 km away, Owerri (QOW) 161 km away, Enugu (ENU) 227 km away, and Lagos (LOS) 293 km away.

Transport by air into the city is through Osubi Airstrip (also known as Warri Airport) which is located in Osubi, a nearby town. There's also the presence of a smaller airstrip at Ugborikoko, which served as the only airport until a bigger airport was built at Osubi. Arik Air and Aero Contractors are some of the main airlines operating commercial flights on this route.

By road
Road transport is undoubtedly the most commonly used means of transportation in the country at large, especially for inter and intra-state movement.

There are several road transport company terminals in Warri city. Notable among them include:

 * God Is Good Motors
 * Bob Izua Motors
 * G. Agofure Motors
 * Sunny Eru Motors
 * Gtruck International Services
 * Eagle Line
 * Ameosa Motors

By boat
On the main Warri riverside are markets and jetties used by local traders, which act as a transit point for local transport and trade. There are also local boats which are used for movement from one location to another.

By rail
After decades of construction, a new railway line between Itakpe and Warri was completed in 2019. Primarily aimed at transporting goods from the steel mills at Ajaokuta to the port of Warri, the limited number of passenger trains on the route does not stop at major cities. One potential useful connection is with Agbor, which lies on the A232, a major east-west highway with plenty of connecting buses.

Get around
The major ways to move around are through public mass transit buses and tricycles (popularly called keke napep). Also, there are jetties for movement around waterways.

Warrington

Warrington is an industrial town in Cheshire, with a population in 2020 of 172,330. Motorway traffic scoots by and you're only likely to stop here for business, or to watch a rugby league match.

Understand
The Wærings were Saxons, so the place they lived was called Weringtun. It was the lowest place you could wade across the Mersey, and for centuries people hoisted their cloaks and tunics to do so. The ford was a mile upstream from the present town centre, so the medieval settlement lay east around St Elphin's church, and a bridge was first documented in 1285. It was a quiet market town until the 17th century. Then the Mersey was made navigable, and the Industrial Revolution powered the growth of Liverpool, Manchester and the corridor between. The Manchester Ship Canal opened in 1894 and enabled large freight vessels to sail 40 miles inland. Warrington developed through textiles and metal-bashing, especially the production of metal wire. It also had military facilities to the east around Risley and Birchwood, such as an RAF base and a munitions factory, best not sited next to residential areas.

This industrial corridor developed professional sports clubs in the 19th century, and Warrington was part of the faction that broke away from the rugby union in 1895. They did so for the right to recompense players for time and wages lost from regular jobs in mills and collieries and foundries. These clubs became the Rugby League, and Warrington have always played in the top tier - they're called "The Wire" for the town trade. The game in England remains concentrated in the northern industrial cities, but was successfully exported especially to Australia. In 1947 Australia returned the favour when Brian Bevan of Sydney NSW signed for the town club, and scored tries prolifically for the next 13 years.

The Mersey was the historic boundary between Lancashire and Cheshire, so Warrington north of the river was in Lancashire until 1975. Local government changes then risked making it an exclave, a detached part of the county, so it needed a new governance tier to relate to. "Anywhere except Liverpool! Not with those dreadful scallies!" was the popular verdict, so it was assigned to Cheshire — this is nominal, since the town is nowadays a free-standing metropolis. It's a typical post-industrial place, with retail parks populating former factories, and much brownfield. A good start has been made by re-greening along the river and canal, and to the east around Risley, but it's a work in progress.

Local information is available from Warrington Council.

By plane
Manchester Airport is usually the best option, as it has global connections and good onward transport. See below for trains.

Liverpool John Lennon Airport has flights from west Europe. Take the bus to South Parkway station then train to Warrington Central.

By train

From Manchester Airport a direct train runs hourly, taking 50 min via Manchester city centre and Newton-le-Willows, and continues to Runcorn, Chester, and along the north Welsh coast to Llandudno Junction, for Holyhead and ferries to Ireland. From the airport, it may be more convenient to take a train into Manchester city centre and change. An hourly train crosses the Pennines from Leeds via Bradford, Halifax, Hebden Bridge, Todmorden, Rochdale, Manchester Victoria and Newton-le-Willows, and continues to Chester.

Bank Quay station is on the west side of the town centre. It has a staffed ticket office and machines, toilets, ATMs and a cafe. There is step-free access to all platforms.

Sankey for Penketh is half a mile west on the same line, but is just a rush-hour halt, with one morning and one evening train calling.

By bus
Flixbus runs twice a day from London Victoria, taking 5 hours via Birmingham. Megabus runs once F-M from London Victoria, taking 4 hr 20 min. National Express no longer runs here. You might do better travelling via Liverpool or Manchester.

Warrington does not have a Park & Ride. The car park by Central Station is capacious but filthy; the daily rate is reasonable, but they fine you £100 for pick up and drop-off.

Get around

All buses ply from the Interchange opposite Central station. Warrington's Own Buses is the main local operator: their timetables are posted on the TFGM Greater Manchester website.

WOB X5 runs hourly east to Lymm and Altrincham. WOB 9A runs hourly south to Stretton and Northwich.

Driving around town is easy outside rush hour, unless there's been a smash on the motorway and traffic tries to divert through the centre. Central car parks are Golden Square Shopping Centre, the Market and Cockhedge, plus Riverside Retail Park.

Some 30 taxi firms serve the town. Those earning good reviews for helpful reliable service include Lymmited (+44 1925 393111), 242 Cars (+44 1925 242242), Direct Taxi (+44 1925 244244) and PR Cars (+44 1925 877877).

Warrnambool

Warrnambool is a coastal town in Victoria, Australia, sometimes considered to be at the end of the Great Ocean Road, although some consider the extra journey to Port Fairy.

Understand
It is 260 km west of Melbourne, and has a population of 35,000 (2018). It is the largest town in southwestern Victoria and makes a good base for travellers to explore the surrounding area.

Origin of the name
The name "Warrnambool" originated from Mount Warrnambool, a scoria cone volcano 25 km northeast of the town. Warrnambool (or Warrnoobul) was the name of both the volcano and the group of Aboriginal Australian people who lived there. In the local language, the prefix Warnn- designated home or hut, while the meaning of the suffix -ambool is now unknown. William Fowler Pickering, the colonial government surveyor who in 1845 was tasked with the initial planning of the township, chose to name the town Warrnambool. The traditional Indigenous owners of the land today are the Dhauwurd Wurrung people, also known as the Gunditjmara.

By plane
Warrnambool has an airport approximately 15 km north of the CBD, although there are no scheduled commercial flights. Mount Gambier is 2 hours drive away to the west and has scheduled flights, but the best choice is generally Melbourne that has many more services and facilities and is a 3.5-hour drive to the east. Due to Avalon Airport's location between Melbourne and Geelong, 204 km from Warrnambool, flying to Melbourne, renting a car and driving on to Warrnambool is much easier from Avalon Airport than from Melbourne Tullamarine Airport.

By train
V/Line operates three daily train services from Melbourne (Southern Cross Station) to Warrnambool. The journey of 3.5 hours operates via Geelong, and trains have a buffet car on board serving snacks. As a long-distance service with reserved seats you should book tickets with V/Line in advance. Go online, call or go to the station. However, you will usually be able to buy a ticket just before travel, and there are conductors on board who sell paper tickets (Myki cards are not used on this route). Tickets are $10.30 each way from Melbourne.

By car
From Melbourne, Warrnambool can be reached on the inland Princes Highway in approximately 3.5 hours. Another possible route is going along the Hamilton Highway, which takes approximately 3.5 hours as well; however, local traffic on these narrower roads may slow you down. Alternatively, you can take the Great Ocean Road. This takes approximately 5.5 hours (without stopping), but is well worth it for the spectacular views.

By bus
V/Line runs a coach along the Great Ocean Road to Warrnambool three times a week, and daily bus services to Hamilton and Mount Gambier in South Australia.

By car
Warrnambool is easy to navigate by car. Metered parking in the city costs 70c per hour, but it is easy to find unmetered parking.

By bus
Transit South West operates 10 bus routes within the city of Warrnambool. Most routes run hourly, and the city terminus is a short walk from the railway station. Tickets are $2.00 for 2 hours, and $3.40 for a full day (half price concession/children's tickets).

Sleep
There is lots of accommodation, including motels and rental houses.

Connect
Telstra has proper 4G coverage here.

Warroad

Warroad is a city in Northwestern Minnesota. It is located in Roseau County, which is part of the northernmost tier of counties in Minnesota, and shares its northern border with Canada.

Get in
Warroad is a US/Canada Port of Entry. The Warroad port is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. .

Fishing
Fishing is Minnesota's favorite sport, and Warroad is an ideal place for it. While there are smaller lakes and rivers to explore, the real draw in Warroad is Lake of the Woods, a 317,000 acre giant that is full of northern pike, muskellunge, bass, perch, and Minnesota's favorite fish, the Walleye. Be aware that since Lake of the Woods is an international lake, there are boundary and fish limit issues that you need to acquaint yourself with. Ask your guide or resort operator for details, or read the Minnesota DNR fishing rules booklet.
