The National Forest

September 13, 2013June 23, 2014 Laura GinnEngland, The National Forest0 comment

It’s not a village, a town or even a city, though it encompasses many within its boundaries. Neither is it a wholly natural forest, it was created more than twenty years ago partly to return the land to how it had been in centuries past, and partly to illustrate the benefits that living and working in and around woodland can bring. The National Forest is however, still a destination of choice for the many visitors that make the journey there every year. This immense forestry project is located in the…

Picturesque Robin Hood’s Bay is situated on the stunning north east coast, not far from the famous seaside resort of Whitby. It is a place where you can fossil hunt on the beach and find what remains of animals that swam the sea here more than a million years ago, or grab your bucket and spade and head to the active rock pools to discover some of the modern inhabitants. The village as we know it today was founded in the fifteenth century. During the 16th century the bay stood…

Richmond, North Yorkshire

September 2, 2013June 23, 2014 adminEngland, North Yorkshire, Richmond0 comment

Richmond is filled with impressive Norman castles and stunning Georgian architecture and is awash with stunning scenery, resting as it does just on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Richmond is a place that has attracted writes and artists for centuries that come to the ancient town to seek inspiration for their work. It is a truly beautiful town with a character that seems to set itself apart from some of its neighbours, perhaps that is because nothing very much has changed here over the last few centuries.…

When thinking of Skegness, the majority of people over a certain age will remember the old railway advertisement for the town, stating that you should visit Skegness as its ‘so bracing’. It is still the most famous of all of the English holiday posters and though times may have changed since it was designed, very little about the seaside resort has changed. There may be new buildings and modern arcades now, but what lies beneath all of the flashing lights and take away food outlets is still the very same…

Minehead does not have the most romantic of names it has to be said. However, this is where the vast expanse of Exmoor runs down to the sea and so the name does not do it justice. Here you have the best of both worlds – the breathtaking coastline for those who favour the sand and sea and the miles and miles of unspoilt countryside of Exmoor National Park for those who love to be close to nature. The town of Minehead offers everything you could want from a traditional…

Yeovil is a traditional west country town with more than its fair share of appeal. It has everything that you could want from a long standing English market town, and more. There are still two markets held here regularly every week, plus a farmer’s market held once every month. The streets are busy and aside from the regular High Street names that you would expect to find, there are some unique, independent retailers. Yeovil is a place where you can pick up anything from your fresh bread and milk to…
