Dumfriesshire
Dumfries
Dumfries the town, on the banks of the River Nith. Significant in the lives of J.M. Barrie and Robert Burns.
Days out
Dumfriesshire
🏴 Caerlaverock
Another marvel on our doorstep.
Cumbria
Carlisle Castle 🏰
Spending the night so close…
The Puzzling Place
Another recommended visit. We’ve seen everyone else do it on instagram so we spent a wet afternoon exploring the illusions at the Puzzling Place in Keswick.
Days out
Derwent Pencil Museum
Hugely under sold, the Pencil Museum in Keswick is a humble place and definitely worth the trip.
Cumbria
Ambleside
At the top of the Lake Districts largest lake (Lake Windermere) sits Ambleside.
👟 parkrun
Lyme Park
A Last Minute decision to join a parkrun which turned into a lovely day out at a National Trust Property.
🎪 Festivals & Shows
Chatsworth Country Show
The Balloon Festival
I’d never been before even though this was always fairly local to my childhood home.
🚍County Boarders
Ludlow Castle
I needed to get to Leominster to collect the Motorhome after its upgrade so we decided to make it a day out and spent the time in Ludlow visiting the castle and market town.
🚍County Boarders
Silverstone Museum
Given the history of motorsports in Northamptonshire, I thought it would be good to visit the international race circuit.
