Lost’s Favourite Castles
I love castles. Adore them. I love to run around seeing what pieces of history I can find, small and large, and imagining what they must have been like for the people who inhabited them. These castles though, they’re my absolute favourites; and this time they are absolutely ranked with the best at the top!
3 Kenitsh Day Trips
If you’re staying in London and want to do daytrips out to the nearby counties, Kent is full of cities you’ll want to visit. I’ve chosen cities that can be easily done in a day or afternoon, that are not necessarily cities you would expect on a daytrip list, but places that I’ve been and loved none the less. I’ve also avoided places like Dover because a day trip just wouldn’t do it justice. These are my top 3 choices!

The London Eye
If you want to see London from great heights there are a couple of options available to you. You can climb the memorial for the Great Fire of London, there’s the top of St. Paul’s Basilica, and the top of the Shard. The most popular option however and the most well known is the London Eye.
The Royal Pavillion
This destination is for all the people who binged Bridgerton over the holidays. Construction started in 1781 but the palace came into its full glory around the 1820s as a seaside getaway for King George and Queen Charlotte. I’ve seen a few royal getaways and homes, but none of them quite compare to this place.
