Exploring the British countryside one day at a time ⛰️
Typically found either stone bothering, nerding out on something historical, or sleeping out under the stars 🌟

Easily the most unique live music experience I've ever had. At moments I felt like I'd been transported back to ancient times. @wardruna.music-social.com.ap.brid.gy you are incredible!

Day trippin' to Abergavenny, and a slow meander up Sugar Loaf today. Legs are beat, but the brain is feeling good!

Still not over my trip to York Minster recently 😍 More stained glass than you can shake a stick at, and history deeper than the average person to ever fully uncover!

I feel like I might have reached peak house of worship yesterday. Will anything ever come close to York Minster?!

A few from yesterday's stomp around Compton Dando. After a week of being couped up indoors, some fresh air was much needed!

Tucked away behind Bath and mostly hidden beneath a blanket of grass, Charmy Down Airfield still has a few tell-tale signs of its history.

A single Magpie is often seen as an omen of ill luck. However, in Shropshire, there are many rituals to counter this. One Victorian folk belief, states that when seeing a Magpie, one must spit on the ground and say
'Devil, Devil I defy thee-
Magpie, Magpie, I go by Thee'
To remove any bad luck.

Spent some time checking out the graves and memorial plaques on the floor of St Mary's Church, Thornbury today. Kinda fascinating the history of people from long ago, slowly being eroded away under our feet.

I stumbled across the story of the Mead Tea Gardens, a hidden gem in St. Catherine’s Valley near Bath. Opened in 1923 before closing in the 1980s. A fascinating piece of Bath’s history!
