Legoland Windsor, Berkshire, England

Pirates Landing is a brand new land opening at LEGOLAND Windsor in March 2010, the third land in as many years.

Wannabe Pirates can find their sea legs on the Pirate Falls Dynamite Drench water ride and experience explosive effects and interactive water cannons, controlled by visiting landlubbers, this classic LEGOLAND favourite has been given a whole new spin for the new decade.

Donnington Castle, Berkshire, England

Donnington Castle was built by its original owner, Richard Abberbury the Elder, under a licence granted by Richard II in 1386 AD. The surviving castlegatehouse dates from this time. The castle was subsequently bought by Thomas Chaucer, the son of the poet Geoffrey Chaucer, as a residence for his daughter Alice, who later became Duchess of Suffolk. This family later fell out with the Tudor monarchs, and the castle became a Royal property.
