The Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales both have that 'thing' don't they? That 'je ne sais quoi' that seems to transport you to the scenes from a classic English novel. Sweeping landscapes, rolling hills, dry stone walls, a bleakness that...

This guide has been a long time coming, but being holed up in the house with a horrible cold has got me planning weekends away and reminded me that I was looking for something like this when I was planning my trip to Jersey earlier this year, so...

When you say the word 'daytrip', you might be thinking London, Manchester or maybe even Skegness. But thanks to the joys of low-cost airlines, it's more than possible to go a bit further afield. Yes, early starts ahoy and a late finish, but who...

You may or may not have seen, I've become a bit of a fan of a road trip of late. Since we bought a camper van last year, it's allowed us to tootle round the UK and beyond, exploring parts of the world we'd never even considered. Tuscany last year,...

There are some trips you remember not just because the place is great, but because it links in with something quite personal. This is one. On the day we were due to go to the Woodstock Arms, we buried my cousin who lost her fight against cancer at...

Right, this is gonna be a long'un. I'll try not to go on too much, but if you follow me on social media you may have noticed that our fabulous jaunt down to the Sussex coast recently absolutely blew me away. It was seriously the stuff of blogging...
