I lived in the south of England for a few years in my 20’s and I’ve been to tons of cities across the country – most of them, in fact – but I haven’t written about many of them, because most of the trips have been to visit family and friends, or to go to gigs. Not exactly top travel writing material.
Instead, I’ve been loving the outdoors in England! The Lake District, the Yorkshire Dales, Northumberland. Oh, and you’ll find a couple of cities as well.
Here are a few of my favourites:
ā Off-Beat London: A Quirky Weekend In The Capital
ā A Festive Weekend In York
ā A Day Driving Through The Yorkshire Dales: Highlights Of A One Day Road Trip
ā Meres, Tarns And Waters: A Short Stint In The Lake District
ā What To Do In Liverpool On A Monday

I recently headed down to London for a weekend to visit a friend, and after years and years of talking about going, I FINALLY made it to God’s Own Junkyard! You may have seen God’s Own Junkyard on social media, because it’s *that* type of place. In fact, I’ve wanted to visit for so long …
We love visiting Northumberland, just south of the border in England, but our past trips have always been along the coast. In fact, we love that area so much that we almost always stop somewhere as we’re passing through, and I’ve written about it quite extensively here. Now, it was finally time to head inland …
I’ve been meaning to put together lots of London photos for a while, as my last few visits have been spent enjoying taking photos of the city. As I’ve got more into photography, too, I’ve appreciated a lot more about different parts of London, and it’s taken me to areas that I haven’t thought to …
A couple of years ago, I decided something needed to change. I had visited London at least 60 times, and yet I had never done any of the big tourist attractions. I’d never been into the Tower Of London, nor ridden on the London Eye. I hadn’t been into St Paul’s or Westminster Abbey. I …
Following on from my Yorkshire road trip blog, I realised I have a ton of pretty photos from Haworth… but I definitely did not spend long enough there to write about the place. I am about to leave on a VERY exciting trip (can you guess where??) so I won’t be posting for a few …
There are many places around the UK that I have completely overlooked. It’s not that I don’t want to spend time in my home country – far from it; look at how much I explore Scotland. But truthfully, it takes time to explore the UK. Cornwall is a nine hour drive from us, and we …
With Northumberland only being a couple of hours from our door, right over the border in England, it’s amazing that it took so long for us to finally check it out. But then isn’t that always the way? If the past few years have taught us anything, it’s that some of the most surprising treasures …
When I met my friend in October to see her off back to Australia, we had a plan to see lots of odd places in London that we hadn’t been to before. We’ve both been to London countless times, seen all the landmarks over and over, and this visit was more about going off-beat and …
Whenever I think of a blog post title in advance of actually doing the trip, nothing ever goes to plan (see: A Perfect Weekend In Perthshire, which was far from perfect). In this case, I had come up with the satisfyingly alliterated A Day At The Docks: A Layover In Liverpool, which would involve a …
Last month, we finally crossed the border for the first time in eighteen months – over to the beautiful Lake District. I hadn’t been to the Lake District since I was eight years old, so my memory of it is patchy at best. I remember staying with my aunt & uncle and being allergic to …
