Not all those who wander are lost, but I certainly am!
If you’re brave, or in a safe city, there are some awesome things around the world to be seen at night. Let’s go!
Any of these towns will do for a quick drive and an afternoon of exploration should you happen to be headed their way, but of course there are many others out there worth discovering. Next time you see a town with a small population, go off the beaten path and have a visit. You never know what you’ll find.
My least favourite castle, but not because it’s terrible to visit. It’s a lovely little town! It’s just that the castle is in a valley. Pro tip; don’t build your castle in a valley.
I’ve seen my fair share of castles and palaces in my day, but this is my all-time favourite.
Unless you follow the lives of the royals, you’ll likely not remember Althorp Estate, although you’ll undoubtedly have heard of it; it’s the childhood home of Princess Diana.
Ever want to see how the Queen of England lives and wander the home of what is arguably the most publicly influential family living on the planet? You can!
If you happen to be travelling through Kent, the Reculver Towers and Roman Fort are a perfect place to stop.
I began reading Harry Potter at the age of eight. It’s been several decades and I still feel a sharp sting of disappointment when I think back to my eleventh birthday; with it’s lack of owls and Hogwarts admission letters.
Certain songs remind me of certain places. Usually it’s whatever I’m listening to when I visit that place, and naturally that means it might have nothing at all to do with the specific location. These are ten songs from my London playlist, and to me all of these do have a certain high energy London vibe to them. Enjoy!
Along with having been to a few castles, I’ve been to a few palaces, and believe me when I say there are some spectacular examples. These are my top five favourites!
