|  | This is a movie taken from the Manmire room (the highest point at The Samling). We stayed here as part of our Wedding on 30/05/08. There is a great view of Lake Windermere and it is a great location for a Wedding with 11 themed rooms for a close and intimate occasion. We had close friends and family numbering 26 in all. The location is very competitively priced compared to surrounding hotels and in my opinion, superior for it's character and views and gardens. Take a look... http://www.momentville.com/sarahandmark http://www.thesamling.com/ http://www.mawhitfield.com/ Manmire Room Located close to the hot tub, Manmire is on two floors with a mezzanine. Decorated with a nautical theme in navy and white, it is one of the largest suites. The bed in this room can be either a large double or two singles. The Samling Ambleside Road Windermere Cumbria LA23 1LR England. Telephone: +44 (0)15394 31922 Facsimile: +44 (0)15394 30400 E-mail: info@thesamling.com Website: www.thesamling.com A few hundred feet above one of the most beautiful lakes in Britain beckons a small gem of a hotel. It's called The Samling. Set in its own sixty-seven acre estate, it's like no other place you've stayed. This is a hotel in the country and, emphatically, not a country house hotel. There's none of that snooty nostalgic stuff. Instead, you'll discover deep comfort, the fruits of a thoughtful kitchen and service so good you hardly notice it. Food here is light, full of good ideas and loved unreservedly by our guests. Our cellar gains new admirers with every visit too, fans of the grape have a treat in store. As do those with an eye for a view, Wordsworth paid his rent here, probably on time too, for this is one of Lakeland's most unforgettable viewing points. Wandering the estate's woodlands, fields and landscaped gardens may not turn you into a poet but it will make you feel very, very good. You can book The Samling like any other hotel, or you can have it all to yourself. These, then are the facts of The Samling. Everything else is strictly magical. The Samling, which is licensed for civil marriage ceremonies, is an ideal place to get married. With ten suites, you can take over the whole place (accommodation for extra guests is available locally). And with sixty-seven acres of grounds, it has a privacy and seclusion that you, your family and guests can really relax in. No interruptions, no distractions, just your special day. Just as importantly, our staff are committed to making your day a success. They pay minute attention to detail and have the singular advantage of being nice people. You can have a marquee in the grounds if you wish, and although we can suggest menus, we can cater for virtually anything you want. We are three and a half hours from London and one and a half to two hours from Manchester, Leeds, Newcastle and Glasgow. There is a helipad in the grounds and we can collect you personally from airports and train stations. The nearest airports are Carlisle, Glasgow, Teesside and Newcastle, the nearest train station is Oxenholme. To get to The Samling by road: Leave the M6 at Junction 36 (South Lakes/Kendal). At the large roundabout, take the exit onto the 1591 and continue past Windermere towards Ambleside. Approximately two miles after Windermere, you'll see the lake and The Low Wood Water Sports Centre on your left. You'll also see a sign for The Low Wood Hotel on your right. About three hundred yards further on is a sharp bend, indicate right when you see the road sign showing this bend. The entrance to The Samling is a very steep driveway on your right: continue up it and bear right to park at the front of the house. We look forward to seeing you. The French Revolution was about to begin The American War of Independence was about to end. But it was then, in the early 1780s, that Mr Edward Thorneycroft built a house overlooking the north eastern shore of Lake Windermere By the 1800's, The Samling, as the house is known, was in the hands of a John Benson, landlord to the poet William Wordsworth. Walking from Dove cottage in nearby Grasmere, it was to The Samling that Wordsworth came to pay rent. Take the same route and it's easy to understand how the countryside came to inspire some of the greatest poetry ever written in the English language. Born in Cumberland, Wordsworth was a huge influence, both on poetry and wider world. His belief that a man close to nature was the purest and best of beings was the moving spirit behind his writings. He and Lord Byron (who was married at Seaham Hall, a sister establishment of The Samling) were the regular subject of university debates as to who was the country's best poet. Needless to say, they didn't get on.

|  | Visiting Vienna as part of the 2008 European BASE24 User Group. I work for Insider Technologies Limited in Salford Quays and the product being demonstrated to the user group was RTLX : Real Time Log Extraction. This is 360 degree movie I shot of the Naturhistorisches & Kunsthistorisches museums. The Naturhistorisches Museum (en: Museum of Natural History) or NHMW is a large museum located in Vienna, Austria. The collections displayed cover 8,700 m², and the museum has a website providing an overview as a video virtual tour. The Museum of Natural History in Vienna is one of the important museums of the world, and the earliest collections of artifacts are over 250 years old. As of 2006, 20 million objects are scientifically maintained. The Kunsthistorisches Museum (English: "Museum of Art History") in Vienna, housed in its festive palatial building on Ringstraße, crowned with an octagonal dome, is one of the premier museums of fine arts and decorative arts in the world. The term Kunsthistorisches Museum applies to both the institution and the main building. http://www.mawhitfield.com http://www.mawhitfield.co.uk/holidays/viennaweb/index.html
