Straight drive without any traffic jam leads us through 4 countries. Arrival at the ferry terminal in Calais long ahead the schedule - But fortunately we were able to take an earlier one 👍

Dover Castle
3–4 de ago. 2024, Inglaterra ⋅ 🌬 20 °C
The checkin to the Hubert guesthouse was not possible this early. So, we decided to visit the Dover castle at first.

What should I say - A great experience to feel like a fellow, coming during medieval times to the castle - Meeting the prince and wander through the pantry. Or in other times of WWII, to see the background of operation Dynamo and the rescue from Dunkirk with the "small ship" approach.

A truely historic side I enjoyed mutch!Leia mais

After our visit in Dover castle we travelled via Lidl 🍌, ATM 💰 and Walmer Castle and Garden to Leeds castle. This castle was used to be a (temporary) living place for kings and queens and wealthy people, whereas Dover castle was the door to England and had a military and strategical background.

So, here we watched the bird of prey center, walked along the buildings and enjoyed some cocktails in the evening.Leia mais

In the middle, between Dover castle and Leeds castle, we had a look to this original coastal fortification build in the 16th century. Starting in the 18th century it was used as residence and is known for their garden nowerdays. The duke of Wellington (he defeated Napoleon in Waterloo) died here in 1852.Leia mais

Today is the day - We are visiting Leeds castle. One of our highlights in the trip planning. And the day started with a highlight already - Blueberry pancakes with greek yoghurt and maple sirup - Yummy!

The castle itself is great. It's enclosed by water and has a medieval and a current history. The medieval history was already mentioned before - So, let's come to the current one. This period is connected with Lady Baillie and starts in the 1920s. Lady Baillie bought the castle and organized in the following 5 decades festive events and house parties - "... we sunbathed, overate, drank champagne, gossiped all day." After Lady Baillie's period, it was opened for the public.Leia mais

Meeting the seven sisters
6 de agosto de 2024, Inglaterra ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C
After Leeds Castle we planned to travel direction of Weymouth with some stops in between. The first night we stayed in Eastbourne - A city with a nice victorian pier. Here we booked in Chatsworth Hotel, built in 1905. This hotel created a feeling to stay back in the old times, being a grandseigneur doing his or her activities. Even the elevator was out of these times. A great overnight stay!

The next day we continued our traveling and stopped to see the Seven Sisters - an impressive coastline in East Sussex. After a short walk we had a good overview from a spot called South Hill Barn. But to identify the family you need some imagination...

The highlight of the day is still coming. Have a look to the next story!Leia mais

Wild Horses
6 de agosto de 2024, Inglaterra ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C
Did you ever hear about wild horses in the UK? I was not aware about this detail till Tanja stumbled about this fact in our travel planning. In the New Forest National Park live around 5000 of them. We realy looked forward to see them and we did it! On this day the hotspot for us was Brockenhurst and Burley. But also thereafter we saw horses on the road and alongside. In the towns many resident have cattle grids in their drive way to prevent the horses to access the properties. The horses move completely free and to see this in reality was a realy nice experience - My highlight of the day!Leia mais

Weymouth, Island of Portland
6–9 de ago. 2024, Inglaterra ⋅ 🌬 18 °C
Leaving the horses we went to the island of Portland, close to Weymouth in Dorset county. What a difference in comparison to the days before! The first days we travelled through lovely landscapes with a rich nature, now coming to a rough, windy surrounding with a sparse vegetation. We booked three nights here - Hopefully we will survive...

The end of the island is a perfect point for a lighthouse. In the 18th century the first Portland Bill Lighthouse was ordered and built to make navigation in the tidal waters around Weymouth easier. Nowerdays it is a well known viewpoint with the chance to visit the top of the lighthouse. We were at this spot during great weather conditions and enjoyed the view.

Also a great view you can enjoy during a hike at the coastal path. This path is following the cliffs and provides almost a viewpoint after every corner. Here you can find some quiet spots to relax together with the seagulls in the wind. One, more public, part of the path presents a sculpture of the olymic rings, indicating that Weymouth was the city for the olympic sailing competitions in 2012.

Nice sidefact - on the island of Portland the Heli Operations company has their aviation business. Part of this business is flight training on helicopters. We saw for example a flying Chinook helicopter - Stunning!Leia mais

Falmouth
9–18 de ago. 2024, Inglaterra ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C
Our stay in Falmouth was the heart of our "South of England" journey. We spent 9 good nights at the southcoast of Cornwall - And that also means 9 beautiful days! Days with a visit in the local lifeboat station, with a kajac trip along the coast, with great (sea)food and many things more.

We did feel us comfortable with the mild temperatures and the rich mediterrane vegetation. Also, this part of Cornwall is that far southwest that you can drive to the opposite coastline within 30 minutes and experience 2 different kind of beaches - More rocky ones in the south and beautiful sandy ones in the north.

Enjoy some impressions of these days which are shared in the next footprints.Leia mais

St. Ives
10 de agosto de 2024, Inglaterra ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C
This beautiful village at the northern coastline of Cornwall is directly connected for us to the Rosamunde Pilcher books and movies, e.g. "Die Muschelsucher". It is the inspiration for the fictive place Porthkerris (acc. to some wikki information) and only 10 minutes away from Rosamunde Pilchers birthplace Lelant.

So, based on that expectation, St. Ives was one of the first places we explored - and we found an ambivalent location. We arrived at a giant parking place, were transferred to the vilage center by a bus full of people and found ourselves again in a big crowd at at a narrow harbour street. Our mood was near sea level.

But then we started exploring the harbour at low tide, saw the beautiful beach and walked a bit away from the crowd where we observed how an original cornish pasty was made. Our mood was back at an average english cliff level high.Leia mais
