http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/ Welcome to Been there. Your tips on the places you know - that you love, live in or have just visited - are what make this guide. http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/34329 The diamond of the Bassin d’ Arcachon was, for us, the Parc Ornithologique du Teich. As seasoned birdwatchers, we were stunned by the variety of environments – salt marshes to fresh water habitats - that have been created there. With over 20 hides, and up to 280 species of birds to spot, this place is twitchers’ heaven.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/34329 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/33851 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/33851 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/27119 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/27119 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/24098 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/24098 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13182 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13182 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12044 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12044 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/11989 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/11989 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/11988
Located about twenty miles west of Shetland Mainland, in the wilds of the North Atlantic, Foula is THE ideal getaway spot for people who love landscapes, flowers, birds, cetacean life - and who don't hanker for crowds or pubs or fancy restaurants or even shops (because Foula has none of those!)

As well as the highest cliffs in occupied Britain (over a quarter of a mile of vertical rock!), Foula is a delight to walk and explore, and its tiny population of under 30 residents make you feel very much at home. I've been travelling for over thirty years, have visited more than forty countries - and would go back to Foula again in a heartbeat.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/11988
