Samuel J TanAbergavenny, Business, Explore, Guides & Collections, Location, Shops, Travel, Wales 0
Abergavenny is a town that still knows how to shop properly. That may sound like a small thing, but it matters. So many town centres now feel thinned out, with empty units, tired shopfronts and a sense that local life has quietly moved elsewhere. Abergavenny feels different. It has the bustle of a town people […]

On our way to North Wales, with Trefor and Snowdonia ahead of us and the Isle of Anglesey planned for later in the trip, we decided to break the journey in Abergavenny. It was still early to mid-morning when we arrived, the kind of time when a town is just beginning to show its rhythm: […]

At the eastern end of Great Pulteney Street, Sydney Gardens of Bath is a rare survivor from the Georgian era. Today it’s a free public park with canal walks, heritage features and family‑friendly facilities.

Tucked within the Powderham Castle estate, just outside Exeter, lies a hidden gem that brings together thoughtful food, elegant design, and the slow charm of Devon countryside living — the Powderham Bistro, housed in a light-filled restored orangery.

Samuel J TanBy the Sea, Devon, Explore, Guides & Collections, Location, Seaside 0
There’s something enduringly special about the great British seaside, and Dawlish Warren in Devon delivers all the charm you’d hope for — with a few unexpected twists. On a recent visit, we found ourselves immersed in a cheerful, bustling atmosphere of sand, sea air, and seaside nostalgia, accompanied by our ever-curious Yorkshire Terrier, Ollie.

Li-ling OoiBradford on Avon, Eat, Food, Food Experiences 0
For years, Iford Manor has been on my list of ‘to visit’ places, particularly every time spring and summer rolls around. When their Grade 1 listed gardens open to public and summer outdoor plays invite visitors for a laid-back, entertaining afternoon, Iford is ‘the place to be’.

Li-ling OoiBy the Sea, Cornwall, Eat, Food, Local Food & Drink, Teignmouth 0
The Crab Shack is one of very few seafood restaurants in Teignmouth. Given its location by the sea, we expected to find several places that specialised in seafood but we were disappointed. In Teignmouth, positioned right along the English riviera coastline, there are only a handful of places where seafood is actually served.

Tucked away on the rugged coastline of North Cornwall, Bossiney Cove (also known as Bossiney Haven) is a breathtaking hidden treasure that rewards those willing to make the journey. Our visit to this secluded sandy cove was nothing short of magical—think turquoise waters, dramatic cliffs, a cascading waterfall, and secret caves. It’s one of those […]
