Top 10 Challenge

For this challenge, I decided to go for something a little different, and so I have done a top ten of my favourite places in the UK.

So, here goes…

1, Glastonbury

I am completely aware that Glastonbury is not everyone’s cup of tea, but I love it. It’s dripping in history and mythology, and is regarded to be the fabled Isle of Avalon, What’s not to love?

2. Avebury

A neolithic stone circle so big there’s a small village inside it – no to mention a lovely pub. Seriously though, thousand’s of years of history under your fingertips and under your feet. A very spiritual place.

3. White Horse Hill

A 3,000 year old chalk hill carving set in Oxfordshire’s gorgeous rolling hills. Another very spiritual place for me.

4. London

Yes, I know, London is a big place, but it’s also the city of my birth and so holds a special place in my heart.

5. Batcombe Vale

A beautiful valley deep in the heart of Somerset where Mr D and I always used to go Camping. We haven’t been camping for around 10 years, but I haven’t given up hope that we’ll go there again. I’m just not sure Mr D’s back is up to sleeping in a tent any more!

6. Stratford upon Avon

A beautiful town with lots of Shakespearean connections. Also the home of the Royal Shakespeare Company, and seeing a performance of Shakespeare there is a truly immersive experience.

7. York

More History than you can shake a stick at. York has a unique feel due to it’s strong Viking heritage

8. Inverness

Where My D and I had our honeymoon. A small and elegant city that sits at the mouth of Loch Ness.

9. New Forest

Which, oddly enough, is very old. Home to several beautiful villages, acres of sprawling woodland and a whole population of very sassy wild ponies

10. Home
