We've been visiting Cambridge University Botanic Garden for over 20 years, and it remains one of our favourite places. Join us for a lovely autumn walk through these beautiful historic gardens, with their remarkable trees, fascinating plant collections and connections to Charles Darwin.
We returned to Walton-on-the-Naze after many years away and discovered its fascinating historic tower, spectacular coastal views and the Essex Wildlife Trust’s Naze Discovery Centre. From watching container ships heading towards Felixstowe to exploring the area's geology and fossil-rich cliffs, it was a wonderful day of history, wildlife and seaside scenery.
We’ve often driven through the beautiful historic market town of Saffron Walden, but this visit gave us another chance to explore its fascinating museum, magnificent parish church and bustling Tuesday market. Despite the museum being partly closed, we enjoyed discovering more about the town’s rich history and character.
We made this website to preserve family memories and share first-hand experiences and observations. We hope it may also help someone discover an interesting place to visit.
