Our first hike in England. The route said caves, but really they are just towards the end. We had to climb over a mountain first. Admittedly not a very tall one, and it probably doesn't clarify as aRead more

The British museum is very close to where we are staying. It's also free to visit. I thought we'd spend a couple of hours here then go visit the Tate, but there is so much to see. We ended up spendingRead more
