The start of the Cheddar Gorge walk. It stretches before us, like the aftermath of a cliffside dynamite explosion. A blanket of spiky jagged rocks, broken up occasionally by a slope of mud or a wandering tree root, towers upwards, seemingly never-ending. Welcome to the start of our...
Walking from Durdle Door to Lulworth Cove, or indeed the other way is a popular but recommended walk. The walk isn’t too difficult, and the views are well worth the effort. You have the relative untouched Durdle Door, and the perfect little seaside cove town of Lulworth. While...
Haytor Rocks in Dartmoor National Park, are Rocky Granite Tors that sit proudly, overlooking Dartmoor National Park. You can find them on the southeastern side of Dartmoor. We were camping nearby, and we like a walk, so when we saw this, we were sold. If you make the hike to Haytor Rocks...
Welcome to Kings Hat New Forest. Walks around the New Forest are abundant, and beautiful, and Kings Hat is no different. The car park for Kings Hat, is actually on the other side of the road to the actual Kings Hat Inclosure. Check out the video below we took on our visit, and don’t...
The Lookout at Lepe Beach and Country Park is still relatively new. It opened after an 11-month refurbishment in May 2018. When we are not camping in the Campervan, we try to take the odd day trip. Here, and a coffee in the Lepe Beach cafe is always one of the places we consider. The...

Being an old and diverse land, it is not surprising there are a number of interesting facts about the UK. I decided to pick a few subjects and do a bit of internet research while sitting here in LockDown. Not only did I find the interesting facts I was after, but I learnt a few things...
Billy Winters Weymouth Beach Bar is just a cool place to be. Sitting on the pebble/shingle beach, not far from Chesil Beach sits this earthy, inviting, retro beach bar. A beachside shack with brightly painted picnic tables overlooking the beach. Billy Winters is a place you will want to...
During our 2019 trip to Jersey, we earmarked a few sights to visit, one of them was La Corbiere Lighthouse. As lighthouses go Corbiere Lighthouse is a relatively small one, certainly compared to the last lighthouse we visited. Standing 10 metres high, it has a greater presence sitting...
