United Kingdom Travel Blogs

Great Britain, holds the history of once being the most powerful nation in the world. Although this status has long since passed, there are few areas of the country where evidence of this former glory are absent. Relics of an industrial past dot the landscape, and expansive stately homes display the profits reaped both at home and abroad.


Although famed for it's rain, the British climate is temperate, with mild winters and pleasant summers. The British countryside offers a taste of both the quaint and the unkempt, and provides opportunities for various outdoor activities such as hiking, climbing and pot-holing.


Britain's cities are vibrant and exciting, with long and diverse histories of development, historic buildings and stunning modern architecture.

This was a very pleasant walk, City of London to City of Westminster. Most of it lay south of the river, through areas I hadn't visited before. I arrived at Bank Station at about half past twelve in the afternoon and because of visiting museums and churches along the way it was quite dark before I reached Westminster. Unfortunately I hadn't taken my camera with me so I had to use my iPhone. And even more unfortunately, I took most of the pictures using the Camera Plus app, without realising that I had to save them. So out of the many [View Full Entry]

I missed the shot I wanted. Australians are really odd people, mate. You see, I unknowingly attempted to order some food at an Aussie bar (They have quite a few throughout Europe, by the way), and when no one came to help me for several minutes, I got up and went to the bathroom. Now, as stimulating as that seems, it’s not half as stimulating as INFLATABLE SHEEP DOLLS, which were all SOLD OUT in the men’s room. I can’t imagine what’s funnier - the fact that they sell inflatable sheep at Aussie bars - or the fact that they’re all [View Full Entry]

So I've just about finished packing and I'm actually amazed that everything fitted in, especially since I am notoriously crap at packing! Everything is feeling very real now, and I'm feeling a weird mix of excitement and anxiety. I've said goodbye to my grandma and aunt today, and it's just hit me how much I'm going to miss everyone (although on the bright side everyone's been very generous with the leaving presents, I think people have been competing for being remembered the most!). I'm leaving Cheltenham in just over 2 hours, so I'll be arriving at Heathrow in time to settle [View Full Entry]

Wednesday 25.11.2009 Day 42 Carmarthen After a great home cooked bfast we down loaded our pic’s and updated our blog while doing this we saw a squirrel on the fence outside our lodge. We went and explored Carmarthen, which is the oldest town in Wales - the Romans established a walled town here in 43 AD. Before that it was a Celtic tribal capital. The area is also said to the birth place of the wizard Merlin and nearby Llyn y Fan the home of the Lady of the Lake. It was also the site of the first Welsh Assembly [View Full Entry]

Dear family and friends, I spent last weekend in London visiting 4 friends of mine that I hadn't seen in a long time and had an absolute blast! It was so special to be able to spend time with all of them and explore the city for the first time. The budget airline company Ryanair has flights to London that leave some of the small airports in northern Spain so I was able to fly to the London Stansted airport from Valladolid and arrive in London on Friday afternoon, Nov. 13th, fairly easily. On Friday night I met up with my [View Full Entry]

Greetings from autumnal Chiswick. 2 more weeks of baby-sitting a couple of ageing canines at the parental home and we'll be off! That leaves 2 - 3days of being at home to do some panick-packing (no time to pack and re-pack 4-5 times, which would be my usual process). I set up a travel blog 2years ago before India, but i didn't manage to use it, as I forgot my login as soon as i got there. Hoping to be able use it this time. Hence my little practice here in the comfort of my mum's freezing conservatory and with keyboard [View Full Entry]

To Change Or Not To Change This Was The Question? I reached a point where I had to make the most serious decision of my life, did I desire change, a complete break from my tired repetitive cycles, to abide by newer clearer freer rules, to finally rid myself of old boring pain which by now had developed an interesting personality all of its own? To continue and survive in this rapid changeable world I needed to remember to breathe, to calm the chattering in my mind to remember to feel, to relax and enjoy the rest of my precious life.

Because our Internet access has not been great while travelling I got behind on the blog. And now that we made it to England we have been busy and having a good time. In about 2 hours we will depart from Highworth for Heathrow airport. An hour and a half drive. We are heading home to OZ tonight. I have a head cold and Carol's cold is just starting. Tonights flight will be a bit unusual as we 3 ( carol Sean and Myself) are all on the same flight but because we booked at three separate times we are sitting [View Full Entry]

Caerdydd (Wales) to London via Lincoln Overview This commentary describes the last 10 days in our month long journey - that part of the journey from Wales to London via the Midlands, Lincolnshire, and Oxfordshire. As we’d explained in our previous two ‘travelogues’, (1st) we’d arrived at Stansted Airport and travelled to Cambridge for a couple of days, before collecting a car and heading north-east to Norwich via Ely - after which we turned south to London, and (2nd), travelled on via Wiltshire (the Cotswolds), Dorset, Devon, Cornwall, [View Full Entry]
