Netferry explores British food!
Okay, we have to admit it, English food doesn't have the best reputation among gastronomers. But there are some well-loved foodie favourites from the UK which we want to explore today. English food has been through a lot; from wartime rationing to the invention of the freezer and multiculturalism; each historical epoch has made its mark on the cuisine. If you visit the UK today in search of something good to eat, then you'll find extremely varied gastronomy, offering high-quality cuisine from all over the world in large cities like London, Edinburgh and Manchester. There has also been a resurgence of traditional British dishes in gastropubs as people began to modernise some classics using local and artisan products. Finally, if you are looking for the pinnacle of fine dining, then look no further than the capital. There are 67 Michelin star restaurants in London, ranging from one-star restaurants to two and three-star restaurants!

Discover some of the most beautiful castles in Wales with Netferry!
Come with NetFerry and discover Wales, a little country full of dragon flags fluttering in the wind, castles and so much grass! Together with the daffodil and the leek, the dragon is a national symbol for Wales, which is also known as the 'land of the red dragon'. History tells us that the kings of Aberffraw first adopted the dragon symbol in the early fifth century to symbolise their power and authority after the Romans withdrew from Britain. Later, around the seventh century, it became known as the Red Dragon of Cadwaladr under King of Gwynedd (655-682). Wales is one of the four countries that make up the United Kingdom. The most famous cities, such as Cardiff, Newport and Swansea, are located in the south, while the north is more rural and features breathtaking scenery.
NetFerry strongly recommends visiting Wales' many castles, there are over 400 and most are related to the stories of King Arthur and Merlin the Wizard. The castles and forts were mainly built around the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries by King Edward to maintain control over the people. Today Netferry will tell you about our favourite Welsh castles.
