  • Brighton

    Found in the South East of England, this pebble beach location is really quite a happenin’ city! Located on the English Channel it had humble beginnings as a small fishing community and is vibrantly Victorian in style. As we mentioned in the post about Weymouth, bathing in seawater really took off when medical science deemed…

  • Weymouth

    I visited Weymouth in Dorset, last Summer for the first time, and I was not disappointed! Visiting during School Holidays, I was expecting packed beaches, everything to be booked up and actually…it was completely manageable! One thing I’m glad I did do though, was research hotels / b&b’s and book early, as prices soar in…

  • Marlow

    Another beautiful place, that once I was able to drive to from home in about 15 mins (she says, wistfully!) What I love about this Georgian Market town is that for a relatively small place, there’s plenty to do; and when there isn’t something specific on, it’s just a really cool place to hang out.…

  • Henley-On-Thames

    I feel so lucky that once Henley was just 15 mins down the road from where I lived and very easy for me to pop along to; which I have done so many times. It’s one of those places that isn’t so big once you get your bearings with it. And it makes for a…

  • Bath

    I suppose it would be just easy to say I love Bath. And I really do. It’s not a hard place to love either. I’ve probably visited and revisited about 10 times in my life…living from 1.5hrs to now just an hour away, it makes a day trip much more doable. It can get hustle-bustle…

  • Windsor

    it’s a real pleasure for me to write about Windsor; having grown up close by, I feel so lucky that I have enjoyed visiting there as a child and as an adult; I still always find plenty to do and come home feeling like I’ve had a brilliant day out. It’s definitely one of my…

  • Witney

    Witney is one of those places that I think I warmed to immediately. It’s situated in West Oxfordshire and very close to the much-mentioned-on-this-blog Cotswolds. I’ve visited it a few times now, as I have family nearby and also Burford, my favourite Cotswold town, is just a few minutes down the road. It’s also really…

  • Cirencester

    I’ve visited Cirencester for several reasons (flat tyre, exhausted-need-an-escape, fancied a market visit) and for a relatively small town, it still has me coming back, so already I can tell you I have visited and will visit again. Many places attach the Cotswolds name to their town and this is no different (that could also…

  • Bradford On Avon

    I visited here with family, after putting together a bit of a Wiltshire wish-list. Having only seen photos of the town, I wasn’t sure if it would live up to my expectations! I loved it so much I have made several trips back here! I would actually describe this town as magical. There’s a feeling…

  • Royal Leamington Spa

    This came about as a midway point meet for myself and friends; a place I wasn’t wholly familiar with before coming but as always, I am ready with my exploring cap. The drive through from where I live, took me through Moreton in Marsh in the Cotswolds, which we did stop at on the way…
