A football fan’s road trip through England: stadiums, cities, and matchday magic

July 6, 2026 by Axel ThomasLeave a Comment

I have visited a lot of famous places that left me cold, and a few ordinary ones that gave me goosebumps. An English football ground on matchday belongs firmly in the second group. Last autumn I finally did the trip I had been promising myself for years: a loose loop around England to see four of its great stadiums, soak up the cities around them, and work out whether the atmosphere really lives up to the hype. It does. If anything, the … [Read more...]

A great British sporting summer: Wimbledon, Lord’s, and The Open

July 6, 2026 by Axel ThomasLeave a Comment

Britain does not always get the weather right, but it absolutely nails the summer sporting calendar. Over a few golden weeks the country serves up tennis, cricket, and golf at the very highest level, often within a short train ride of one another. Last year I built a trip around exactly that, chasing the great British summer of sport from London out to the coast, and it turned into one of my favourite holidays in years. If you plan to follow … [Read more...]

Chasing the horses: a road trip around Britain’s great racecourses

July 6, 2026 by Axel ThomasLeave a Comment

I did not grow up around horse racing, so I arrived at my first British race meeting expecting a stuffy afternoon of tweed and binoculars. What I found instead was one of the best days out this country offers: part sport, part social occasion, part excuse to wear a silly hat. Last summer I turned it into a proper trip, driving between four of Britain's most famous racecourses over ten days, and I came away a genuine convert. A quick word for … [Read more...]

The Best Rural Retreats and Cultural Escapes in the UK and Ireland

June 17, 2026 by Penny LomasLeave a Comment

Some of the best memories from the UK and Ireland come from places that barely appear in guidebooks. A quiet harbour at the end of a winding road, a country pub filled with locals on a rainy afternoon, or a walking path connecting villages across open farmland often leaves a stronger impression than a famous attraction. The places below are full of rural areas where the landscape still shapes daily life. In the Highlands, mountains and lochs … [Read more...]

March 11, 2026 by Ivan BuehlerLeave a Comment

Not all evenings in foreign countries have to be a big night out.

Are you free in the evening at a new location? Here is how you can spend your time.
