United Kingdom

Explore Britain at your own pace

These UK travel stories focus on the places that stayed with me: coastal walks, small towns and road-trip stops worth making time for. They combine practical observations with the atmosphere of being there.

Explore west Cornwall in spring, including Newlyn, St Ives, St Michael’s Mount and Sennen Cove. For Wales, follow my road trip from Swansea towards the Elan Valley, with coastal walks, museums and the stops I would choose again.

Also in this collection is my Gibraltar travel story, exploring its distinctive cultural identity. Gibraltar is a British Overseas Territory, rather than part of the UK.

Which trip should you choose? Cornwall is the spring coastal story, while the Wales guide combines coast and inland road-trip stops. Pick one region for a short break so that driving does not take over the trip. For Cornwall, check the St Michael’s Mount crossing arrangements; for both routes, leave flexibility for weather and the pace you enjoy.
