Sailing on a Tall Ship on the high seas is right up there with the greatest travel adventures in the world. When I was offered the chance to join a historic ship, I leapt at the opportunity. My journey would be on the Williams II, an impressive vessel […]
Think of Mallorca and what springs to mind? For me, it’s sandy beaches, wall-to-wall sunshine and cheap package holidays. These are the reasons I avoided taking a holiday in Mallorca for many years. I’m not a beach bunny or an out-and-out sun goddess. Mallorca isn’t my natural territory. […]
Northern Spain is one of the prettiest parts of Europe. It’s a far cry from the beaches and Mediterranean coast of Spain, beloved by armies of sun seekers and party animals. We were looking for a road trip which took in the mountains, coast and historic towns for our motor home. Having […]
Looking to travel somewhere bursting with awesome art? My advice is you can’t go wrong with a holiday or short break in Denmark. Not only is Denmark just a short hop from the UK, it’s an art lover’s paradise with a ‘gluttony’ of galleries, museums and attractions. Copenhagen isn’t the only cultural […]

Cornwall boasts the most gorgeous gardens in Britain so I was thrilled to discover a new addition to its great outdoor attractions. Tremenheere Sculpture Gardens is hidden in a lush valley with woodlands, a stream and dramatic vistas which provide the setting for contemporary art installations. International artists such as James Turrell and David […]
Brussels is one of the world’s best cities for Art Nouveau, one of my favourite styles of architecture and design. I adore its decorative, floral curves and stylish swirls. For art lovers, an Art Nouveau tour of Brussels is a fabulous experience with hundreds of impressive buildings to discover. The city […]
If you’re looking for a trip back in time, Enkhuizen is the best place in Holland to experience life in bygone days. The star attraction is the exceptional Zuiderzee Museum which recreates life in the region before the Afsluitdijk Dam was built in 1932. The museum revives the stories of people who once lived on the […]
Destination architecture – could this be the next big tourism experience? On every holiday I try to make an interesting architectural journey. Over the years this has taken me from Frank Lloyd Wright’s American classics to the iconic Bauhaus in Germany to post-modern blockbusters by contemporary architects. Here’s […]
