From Mary Poppins and Lawrence of Arabia to Harry Potter and Love Actually, London’s streets, skylines and iconic buildings have formed the backdrop for hundreds of films. Every era of the city’s history has been recreated on screen, and it’s…
Beneath the streets of London is a hidden underground world of abandoned Tube stations and deserted tunnels, each with their own story to tell. Most of them are locked away and inaccessible, but a series of Hidden London tours…
The hiss of escaping steam, the smell of the engine wafting through an open window, the sound of the whistle and the clinking of Champagne glasses… it could be a scene from Brief Encounter or Murder on the Orient Express,…
It’s an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with historic towns which inspired writers C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien and spring water that’s a favourite with the Queen. So it’s a surprise that the Malvern Hills aren’t better known.…

Although I love travelling the world, there’s no place like home, and I’ve been trying to get out and explore as much of my own country as I do others. For a small place, Britain really packs a lot…
The Forest of Dean was a big part of my childhood. I grew up not far away in Ross-on-Wye and spent so many weekends in the Forest – walking the Sculpture Trail, cycling the old railway line, splashing around…
Rolling hills, sandy beaches, tiny islands, medieval castles and fantastic seafood – just a few of the reasons why Northumberland is one of my favourite places in the UK. This part of the country just south of the Scottish…
In a city like Salisbury where a walk through its streets is like a trip back through the centuries, it was only right that my hotel had historic credentials to match. So what could be more appropriate than Europe’s…
![With its spectacular architecture, Prague isn’t known as the ‘City of a Hundred Spires’ for nothing, but it’s also got 30 bridges, castles, palaces, parks and gardens to explore – and not to mention Europe’s cheapest beer.

![#ad Canada's a country that really captured my heart – and my new post [link in bio] is an epic two-week road trip itinerary right across the heart of the country, travelling from Calgary to Toronto, from the prairies to the lakes.
