Guides
England
Villages, coast and weekend walks.
-
A weekend in Finchingfield
How to spend a weekend in the village — parking by the pond, a slow walk, and where to eat.
-
Walking the Malvern Hills
Eight miles of ridge from North Hill to British Camp — where to park, when to catch the light, and a spa town to finish in.
-
Finding dinosaur footprints on the Isle of Wight
Where to park at Compton Bay, how to time the tide, and what the Iguanodon casts actually look like on the sand.
-
A weekend in Lyme Regis
Fossils on Monmouth Beach, a walk along The Cobb, and a Georgian loft on the high street — the Pearl of Dorset in two days.
-
Ten local walks in the West Midlands
Hills, country parks and old railway lines within half an hour of Birmingham — with a free map to save them all.
-
A day trip to Windermere
A morning on the lake, a climb up Loughrigg Fell, and a pub supper in Ambleside — one perfect day in the Lake District.
-
The lavender fields at Snowshill
Half a million plants in the Cotswolds — when to go, what it costs, and how the oil is distilled on the farm.
-
Bluebells and sunset on the Clent Hills
Ten miles from Birmingham: a red sunset over five counties, then an early morning in a blanket of bluebells.
-
A weekend away in Bath
Three days of Georgian terraces: the Roman Baths without the queue, the Skyline Walk to Prior Park, and the rooftop pool at Thermae.
-
A winter day in Chester
An early train with my best friends, an empty old town after Christmas, and a walk on the city walls.
