Fancy going through all of our past travels? You’ve come to the right place!
In May 2021, following some easing of lockdown restrictions in England, Wally and I were lucky enough to escape London for a week in Dorset. Instead of hiring a car from near home in London, we decided to get the train out of London to Winchester, and then hire a car...
Kingston Lacy is located in Dorset and is a great place to visit for a day, especially if the weather is good. This is a country house which was home of the Bankes family for over 300 years, after their home at Corfe Castle was destroyed... click here to read more...
On our penultimate day in Dorset, we decided to make the most of the sunny weather and head to the coast, explore Lulworth Cove and then walk along the coast to Durdle Door. We then drove to Kingston Lacy (click here to read more on the latter)...Lulworth CoveMap of...
