I love Spain but the Balearic Islands have never featured in my holiday ‘top 10’ wish list. Friends have tried to convince me that Mallorca is a great destination, extolling the virtues of its beautiful coastal scenery and pretty villages. But I wasn’t to be swayed. Perhaps it […]
Saltaire is a strong contender for the title of ‘coolest day out’ in Yorkshire. It’s a fantastic place for anyone who loves that heady mix of heritage, culture and retail therapy. This UNESCO World Heritage site is one of my favourite places in northern England – and winter is a great time of year […]
If you’ve visited Denmark on holiday, it’s likely you travelled to Copenhagen, the country’s most popular tourist destination. But now Copenhagen has a rival for the affections of tourists. Aarhus on the country’s east coast is fast becoming a super cool city, beloved of hipsters, culture vultures and those seeking a weekend […]
Acadia National Park is one of those awesome places that crams a lot of stunning scenery into a relatively small space. This beautiful park has everything from mountains and gentle hills to a rocky coastline and an archipelago of islands. I was lucky enough to visit the park […]

The West Frisian Islands are Holland’s wildest and most remote travel destination. They are what you might call ‘the back of beyond’. You can’t get much further north than this archipelago of islands which form a chain off the tip of Holland in the Wadden Sea. The islands are on UNESCO’s World Heritage Sites […]
On a clear day you can see forever when you reach the top of the Kielder Forest Drive in Northumberland with its mix of beautiful panoramas and woodland scenery. It’s like being on the top of the world with its big skies and majestic landscapes. The Forest Drive […]
Copenhagen is a dream city for cyclists with its fantastic bike routes and passion for everything on two wheels. There aren’t many capital cities which you can ride around on a bike without feeling like you’re going to die horribly on their congested roads or get crushed by a […]
Sir Bradley Wiggins must have woken up this morning wondering whether making his comeback in the Tour of Britain was a good plan. The weather was appalling. I was also thinking it was a bad idea when I got up at 6am to chase the Tour from Peebles, […]
