The site has been designed by Green Jersey and created in joomla by ToolboxCreations and together they have really pushed out the boat. It looks as if the site is still on the road to completion with plenty more content to be added but they have certainly had a successful launch.
Sobi2 has been used as the basis for an extensive database of Heritage locations, which if you are considering visiting include map data and weather forecasts so you won't get wet whilst cycling. (I've built several geo-dispersed databases using Sobi2 myself and it really is an ideal departure point)
JCal Pro (which is, in my opinion, the best calendar solution for joomla, and soon to get even better) acts as the event calendar - although it doesnt look like anything as happening at the moment.
And it looks as if they might share the same views as myself about building a shop in joomla and have chosen to simply wrap an "Amazon store" inside the site.
It really is not possible in words to do justice to the full beauty of this site so I encourage you to spend a few minutes exploring it for yourselves. Not only is it a beautfiuly designed web site it's an interesting one as well, you won't be disappointed.
