Kimmeridge Bay is another famous fossil-hunting beach. The cliff-top car park is privately owned so there is a charge to park. A short walk down a path will take you directly onto the beach, but take care it is slippy and rocky. Directly in front of you on the beach is a concrete gun turret. […]
It was that time of year again when we have our annual weekend break in York. It’s becoming a winter tradition and it’s a weekend away that I really look forward to. There is just so much for families to do in York and after three weekends there over the past 3 years we still […]
If you want to enjoy the great outdoors, then a camping trip out in the open is exactly what the doctor ordered. Once you are out there, you will be able to relax and breathe some fresh air, something that you are not able to do in the city. Individual adult campers have the luxury […]
I was given a $250 glamping voucher about a year and a half ago to book ourselves a glamping holiday somewhere. I really struggled to find anywhere that would accept our voucher though. Luckily I eventually found Baxby Manor in Huthswaite near York, North Yorkshire and we booked in for a couple of nights this […]

England doesn’t get much further north than Carlisle in the west and Newcastle in the east. Aside from being along the England/Scotland border, there are quite a few great things to do along this route. Why not consider a Hadrian’s Wall walk which you can find out even more about here? Here’s my list of […]
We enjoyed the most magical and wonderful stay at a Tree Lodge in Swinton Bivouac, North Yorkshire. We were guests of Swinton Estate but as always all opinions are my own and not influenced by a press stay. Swinton Estate opened Swinton Bivouac a few years ago. It is a glamping site and they have […]

We were recently invited to the preview event of ‘Christmas at Blenheim’. We live quite a long way from Blenheim Palace so I looked into staying nearby overnight. The Travelodge on Abingdon Road in Oxford were kind enough to provide us with a room in exchange for this review. There are three Travelodges in Oxford […]

It’s easy to forget how lucky we are, living in the South West with a seemingly endless coastline to discover. We ventured a bit further down the coast to Trevornick, just 5 miles from Cornwall’s surfing capital of Newquay. Trevornick is a family run campsite next to Holywell Bay, a large sandy National Trust beach […]
