UK Travel Guide
Cotswold villages, Peak District walks, Welsh mountains and the south coast cliffs
England is my home country, and I lived in Stratford-upon-Avon for years, right on the edge of the Cotswolds. So a lot of these guides come from weekends spent exploring on my doorstep, and the rest from walking boots, muddy hills and plenty of pub lunches.
Where Do I Start?
The UK has so much more than London. These are the areas I know best, most of them on foot.
The Cotswolds
I lived on the edge of the Cotswolds for years, so these villages were basically my weekends.

Sunset At Broadway Tower
I’ve watched the sunset here more times than I can count, and we’d often spot deer in the park around the tower.

Winnats Pass
I couldn’t find a circular walk anywhere, so I set off following nothing more than my bearings. It’s one of our favourite spots in the Peak District.

The Seven Sisters
I walked the long route from Seaford to Eastbourne with my sister, and it was even more breathtaking than I expected. It took us about 7 hours with a packed-lunch stop and plenty of breaks.
