We headed up north to the county of Northumberland, situated in the North East of England. Our trip lasted 4 days and each day was started with a very early morning hike with the reward of a waterfall at the end of it. I personally think that every day should start like this, alas we, living in the South East of England, don’t really have waterfalls at all.

Our recent trip to Brittany was an absolute dream. Having over 1,700 miles (2,800) of coastline, Brittany represents a third of France’s total. With every hotel we stayed in we had the sea on the horizon.

From island boat trips inundated with wildlife to historical ruins endlessly battered by the waves. Here are a few suggestions of things to do and places to visit during a trip to Brittany’s coast.
