Serenity in the Lakes Part One

Castlerigg Stone Circle

Visiting the Lake District is the opposite of a City Break – exploring the myriad of snaky lakes by car or foot with villages few and far between.  Activities are focused on fell walking, Beatrix Potter and soaking up the serenity.

Istanbul City Break 1

Fish market at Istanbul

We visited Istanbul in February and stayed in the Old City close to the key landmarks. We did not expect snow and, yes, Istanbul was bitingly cold. Istanbul offers a unique blend of history and culture , as it straddles two continents, Europe and Asia.

Shropshire

River Severn Ironbridge

Shrewsbury has managed to retain its medieval features in the town centre with over 660 listed buildings, some 15th and 16th-century timber-framed houses.
