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...]

The Execution, Life and Times of Patrick O’Donnell by Gavin O’Donnell

June 1, 2025 by Dave1 Comment

This is a gripping novel based on the 26 letters Patrick O'Donnell wrote to Victor Hugo during his last days in the Newgate Prison in London between December 5th and December 17th.
