For over 20 years, the Britain Express family have toured England, Scotland, and Wales, visiting historic sites, taking thousands of photographs, and sharing our passion for Britain with the world. We love exploring the UK, and hope that whether you're a Brit or a tourist, you'll take every chance to discover British history and landscape for yourself, and enjoy the wonderful heritage that awaits in every corner of this wonderful country. Get inspired - Explore Britain's Heritage!
Most of our family travelling is done via stays in self catering cottages, where we can unwind and tour one area in-depth for a week or even 2 at a time.

British Biography
Our look at the lives of famous people in art, architecture, science, and literature.
Wiston, Dyfed, Wales
Wizo the Fleming, from whom Wiston takes its name, took control of the lordship of Daugleddau around 1100. In 1130 he built the motte across the pre-existing Iron Age earthwork. The earthwork enclosure was then used as the boundary defence for a medieval borough. The native Welsh attacked Wiston Castle in 1147, and again in 1193.
