Dominique AdamsEnjoy one of Dorset’s most famous landmarks without the hassle with our Golden Cap walk, the easy way.
Adam LudnowNot just for those with a Bus Pass... this journey is best taken on an open top bus!
Maz CA family day out to Stourhead, exploring the gardens, having a picnic and generally having a magical adventure.
Emma LDo I really only get to stay here for the weekend? Perhaps I will call in sick on Monday and stay just a little longer.
FayeWe had driven through the town of Lyndhurst earlier in the day and made a note to stop off on our way back to our holiday cottage in Lymington, not least because of the large number of New Forest ponies we had seen just on the outskirts of the town.
FayeThe wolves and chatty giant otters were a big hit, the stories of their conservation making for heart-warming reading and the friendly deer that were free to roam around the park added a magical touch.
FayeWe decided to work our way back along the beaches of the south coast despite it being a somewhat dreary looking February day
FayeThe reviews I’ve heard have been unanimously positive and they seem to be as well known for their veggie offerings as they do their meat.
Abby DriverSometimes the travelling really is nearly as good as the arriving.
Philip EleyI cannot recommend Moors Valley Country Park highly enough, in fact I've already sent a number of friends and family along and hope to go back again myself soon.
FayeConsidering it wasn't our location of choice we really surprised ourselves with how enjoyable it was and would highly recommend a visit.
FayeCharlotte and I decided to see if we could find a takeaway for dinner. Yes, there was a fully equipped kitchen to cater to our self-catering needs, but being so close to the sea, our hearts (and stomachs) were set on a fresh fish supper. So fish and chips it was to be.
FayeIf you need a few cobwebs blowing away then this is the place to go for a dog walk in Cornwall.
B HutchingsThe magic of Narnia transformed Killerton House in Devon into a magical family day out to remember.
Philip EleyFor my family, day trips normally involve beaches or stately homes, but whilst holidaying in Cornwall this half-term the bad weather forced us to think creatively. And so feeling the Poldark effect, we found ourselves at Geevor Tin Mine.
Philip EleyExplore a new town and find things to do with children in Totnes - as we eliminated suspects and weapons we explored places with great names like Warland and Ticklemore Street.
Philip EleyCharlestown is immediately recognisable to fans of Poldark as the harbour in the series. The joy of it as a location is that they’ve hardly had to change much at all.
Philip EleyYou really wonder at the enterprise and sheer foolishness of building a stately home on a huge chuck of rock 500 meters out to sea
Philip EleyKingsand and Cawsand are twin seafront villages on The Rame Peninsula in Cornwall. They have a rich fishing (and smuggling!) heritage and you can still spot the old fish cellars and stores along the coast.
Abby DriverStarting in my home town of Shaftesbury in north Dorset, we are incredibly lucky to boast no fewer than nine cafes and at least six great places for a wonderful dinner. There are however two which for me stand out above the rest and are worth travelling down to this part of Dorset especially for.
Becky ByeHead out with Cormorant Cruising and discover the local history, marine life and stunning views from the seas around beautiful Mousehole harbour.
Adam LudnowI read a good deal more books in a year than I previously thought possible. I did a lot of walking. I learned how to slow down and wait. I learned the hard way that buses in rural places don't stop unless you hail them.
Danielle Charles-DaviesWhile my husband now conforms to the current male phenomena that is a ‘MAMIL’ (Middle-Aged Man In Lycra) I’d describe myself more of a ‘leisure cyclist’ (I push my bike up hills).
Ali RayTheatre really comes into its own when it’s performed on the road. Each summer in Cornwall, a myriad of makeshift stages spring up all over the county – some providing seating, but many simply on the beach or a patch of grass on which to spread your blanket. It’s an experience not to be missed.
Sadie PhillipsDevon offers many amazing opportunities for visitors who want to try their luck with rod and reel, or simply a handline. Then there's the spearguns...
Pat KinsellaIt began to rain, and then it began to pour. The wind started gusting. Backdrops blew over and props flew away. The players had to grip their costumes to themselves and shout to be heard over the whistle of wind in their mics. But there can be no better place in the world to experience Shakespeare.
Danielle Charles-DaviesWhile the British do drink tea in a way that Americans never will, they also drink coffee in a way that that most Americans never will. And that way is (dare I say this?) unquestionably superior.
Danielle Charles-DaviesIn a county hemmed by stunning, Atlantic-pounded beaches, it’s hardly surprising that surfing is such a popular pastime
Hayley SpurwayThe Jewell family experience their first glamping holiday in Devon...
Jakie JewellThere’s always at least one utterly perfect moment on every holiday that makes you want to catch it and keep it forever. I’ve just had one of those moments.
