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 …
“Extreme day trips” seem to be all the rage in the UK and Europe at the moment, with Facebook groups popping up for people to share their crazy adventures. I’m no stranger to the concept of extreme day trips – back in 2012, I took a day trip to Munich, and the following year another …
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 …
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 …
This year has been all about the scenic landscapes of the UK – Skye, the Outer Hebrides, the Lake District, and finally, we made it to Wales to check out whether Snowdonia National Park really is as beautiful as the rest of them. Spoiler alert: it is. Snowdonia is home to Mount Snowdon, the highest …
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 …
2020 was the year of staycations. 2021… is also going to be the year of staycations. If you’re wondering what a staycation is, the definition is a surprisingly controversial topic. For some, staycations are holidays within your own city; for others, they are holidays within your own country, whether it’s a hotel city break or …
