Backwater Gems

Britain has many rivers, streams, and waterways. If you happen to pass over an old stone bridge and peer down below, you may just find a little magic. A perfect place for a picnic or to spy a coot or water-rail with its chicks bobbling along on the surface and disappearing into lush grassy reeds...

Glorious Countryside

Britain has a plethora of natural gems. Green rolling hills, fields of golden wheat and barley, these images spring to mind when one is abroad for a while and thinks back and longs for 'Blighty'.

Footpaths galore, hills, lakes, rivers, mountains, seas, valleys, spinneys, forests, magic, laughter, fish and chips and amazing people. Its all there, never too far...and if you just try a little, you will find it and then loose yourself in its magic...
