Visitors' Book Emma LDo I really only get to stay here for the weekend? Perhaps I will call in sick on Monday and stay just a little longer.
Visitors' Book FayeWe had driven through the town of Lyndhurst earlier in the day and made a note to stop off on our way back to our holiday cottage in Lymington, not least because of the large number of New Forest ponies we had seen just on the outskirts of the town.
Visitors' Book FayeThe wolves and chatty giant otters were a big hit, the stories of their conservation making for heart-warming reading and the friendly deer that were free to roam around the park added a magical touch.
Places to Go FayeWe decided to work our way back along the beaches of the south coast despite it being a somewhat dreary looking February day
Visitors' Book FayeThe reviews I’ve heard have been unanimously positive and they seem to be as well known for their veggie offerings as they do their meat.
Classic Fodder Abby DSometimes the travelling really is nearly as good as the arriving.
Visitors' Book Philip EleyI cannot recommend Moors Valley Country Park highly enough, in fact I've already sent a number of friends and family along and hope to go back again myself soon.
Things to do FayeConsidering it wasn't our location of choice we really surprised ourselves with how enjoyable it was and would highly recommend a visit.
Things to do FayeCharlotte and I decided to see if we could find a takeaway for dinner. Yes, there was a fully equipped kitchen to cater to our self-catering needs, but being so close to the sea, our hearts (and stomachs) were set on a fresh fish supper. So fish and chips it was to be.
Classic Fodder FayeIf you need a few cobwebs blowing away then this is the place to go for a dog walk in Cornwall.
Things to do B HutchingsThe magic of Narnia transformed Killerton House in Devon into a magical family day out to remember.
Places to Go Philip EleyFor my family, day trips normally involve beaches or stately homes, but whilst holidaying in Cornwall this half-term the bad weather forced us to think creatively. And so feeling the Poldark effect, we found ourselves at Geevor Tin Mine.
Places to Go Philip EleyExplore a new town and find things to do with children in Totnes - as we eliminated suspects and weapons we explored places with great names like Warland and Ticklemore Street.
Things to do Philip EleyCharlestown is immediately recognisable to fans of Poldark as the harbour in the series. The joy of it as a location is that they’ve hardly had to change much at all.
Places to Go Philip EleyYou really wonder at the enterprise and sheer foolishness of building a stately home on a huge chuck of rock 500 meters out to sea
Places to Go Philip EleyKingsand and Cawsand are twin seafront villages on The Rame Peninsula in Cornwall. They have a rich fishing (and smuggling!) heritage and you can still spot the old fish cellars and stores along the coast.
Visitors' Book Abby DStarting in my home town of Shaftesbury in north Dorset, we are incredibly lucky to boast no fewer than nine cafes and at least six great places for a wonderful dinner. There are however two which for me stand out above the rest and are worth travelling down to this part of Dorset especially for.
Classic Fodder Becky ByeHead out with Cormorant Cruising and discover the local history, marine life and stunning views from the seas around beautiful Mousehole harbour.
Things to do Adam LudnowI read a good deal more books in a year than I previously thought possible. I did a lot of walking. I learned how to slow down and wait. I learned the hard way that buses in rural places don't stop unless you hail them.
Visitors' Book Danielle Charles-DaviesWhile my husband now conforms to the current male phenomena that is a ‘MAMIL’ (Middle-Aged Man In Lycra) I’d describe myself more of a ‘leisure cyclist’ (I push my bike up hills).
Things to do Ali RayTheatre really comes into its own when it’s performed on the road. Each summer in Cornwall, a myriad of makeshift stages spring up all over the county – some providing seating, but many simply on the beach or a patch of grass on which to spread your blanket. It’s an experience not to be missed.
Things to do Sadie PhillipsDevon offers many amazing opportunities for visitors who want to try their luck with rod and reel, or simply a handline. Then there's the spearguns...
Things to do Pat KinsellaIt began to rain, and then it began to pour. The wind started gusting. Backdrops blew over and props flew away. The players had to grip their costumes to themselves and shout to be heard over the whistle of wind in their mics. But there can be no better place in the world to experience Shakespeare.
Visitors' Book Danielle Charles-DaviesWhile the British do drink tea in a way that Americans never will, they also drink coffee in a way that that most Americans never will. And that way is (dare I say this?) unquestionably superior.
