Travel: Hertfordshire
By Tim SaundersVerulamium was a Roman town in the city of St Albans in Hertfordshire.We discover this during a two-night stay at The Straw House in Spicer Street in the historic cathedral quarter.“Warner Bros has built studios quite nearby,” reveals owner Pamela, adding that Britain has the best lighting engineers but other talent has to be flown in. “Which means we get lots of stuntmen from Germany and elsewhere staying here.”After checking into the former straw hat factory with its tall ceilings and luxurious furnishings, we relax over a pot of tea and then make our way to the Norman cathedral over the road.

Marwell Zoo
By Tim SaundersBirds have four types of feathers. I never realized this until I visited Marwell Zoo in Hampshire. Wing feathers help the bird fly, tail feathers help to balance and steer, body feathers give protection as well as streamlining while down feathers keep the bird warm.For me the sign of a good day out is walking away with a few interesting, useful facts like this. A nice sunny weekend is an ideal opportunity to visit this attraction, set in 140 acres of Hampshire countryside near Winchester. It’s home to 1,200 animals and there is an emphasis on African wildlife ranging from giraffes and zebras to rhinoceroses, pygmy hippopotamuses and meerkats as well as some colorful birds. Founded by John Knowles, who opened it in 1972, Marwell soon became a leading zoo in Europe to carry...
