St Catherines Oratory Isle of Wight

St Catherines Oratory

2014-04-19T10:02:00.001-07:00

On a recent trip to the Isle of Wight it is worth popping up to the Pepperpot, more widely known as St Catherines Oratory.

St Catherines Oratory Isle of Wight is a distinctive medieval tower built in 1328. Although octagonal on the outside it only has four inner walls and stands on one of the highest points of the Island.

It forms part of a series of cliff top monuments known as the Tennyson Heritage Coast and is jointly owned by English Heritage and the National Trust.

If you are looking for a longer walk then try the Bembridge Trail, an 11 mile linear walking route across the Isle of Wight from Shide in Newport to Bembridge Point.

For walks like this it is worthwhile buying a good pair of walking boots like the ECCO Biom Terrain Walking Boots

If you are looking for a really lightweight but highly stable pair of walking boots for the summer then the ECCO Biom Terrain Walking Boots are quite a safe bet.

Scilly Walks 2014

2014-01-19T05:50:00.001-08:00

The Scilly Guide To A Simple Holiday

The 2014 guide to Scilly has just been published by Wolf Rock, sharing stories of treasured moments on the islands, captured by Booker Prize writers and award winning photographers. A sensory journey through the Isles of Scilly, the guide will lure you in with the timeless words of Michael Morpugo, former Children's Laureate, and keep you hooked with the memories of author and sea writer Sam Llewellyn as well as Booker Prize nominee Jim Crace.

The tale of one family's love of this archipelago is told by Carolyn Mendelsohn, 2013 Professional Photographer of the Year, with a heartfelt picture book story of visits to the islands with her husband and children. Commissioned by the Islands Partnership to bring new life to its marketing, Wolf Rock gathered together thirty groups of locals and friends to the islands to model, shoot, scribble, proof and ferry, making the guide true to the experiences that are enjoyed every day, and holiday. Cornwall based photographer, and frequent visitor, Phil Nichols spent four days on the islands, capturing the unspoilt archipelago. His images very much reflect the feeling of being on the islands, through landscape, laughter and the islands' offer.

More of a book than a holiday guide, small enough to pop in your handbag and large enough to read with tired eyes at bedtime, Scilly's 2014 guide promises to cut through the hard sell of most holiday destinations, offering you a snapshot of what could be a place to you long to visit, again and again.

Character Farm Cottages Langton Herring Weymouth

Weymouth Walks

2013-11-03T11:27:00.001-08:00

Weymouth is an absolute haven for anyone looking for a walking holiday in Dorset.

Ideas for good walks

2013-10-31T07:31:00.001-07:00

1. South Downs National Park Walks

Walking in the South Downs is incredibly easy – with a series of new walking and cycling leaflets that show routes for walking and cycling that are designed to link up to public transport in and around the park. The South Downs National Park has over 3,000 kilometres of Rights of Way for you to walk on. With the South Downs Way, a National Trail stretching the entire length of the National Park, as well as many Country Parks, woodlands and other countryside sites there are routes to suit everyone.

2. Top 5 Northamptonshire Walks

Includes Brixworth Walk Northamptonshire, Castle Ashby Walk Northamptonshire, Cottesbrooke Hall and Gardens, Northampton Walk, Whilton Locks Walk Northamptonshire and Winwick Walk Northamptonshire all accessible from the centre of Northampton.

3. Discover Hatfield Forest

Hatfield Forest is one of the best areas to visit in the UK for ancient trees and meadows of a Medieval Royal Hunting Lodge and is situated in Takeley, Bishop's Stortford on the borders of Hertfordshire and Essex. Hatfield Forest is free to visit although if you park in the car park there is a small charge.

As with nearby Epping Forest, if you are lucky you will get to see fallow deer grazing amongst this historical and ecologically important Site of Specific Scientific Interest and National Nature Reserve. Hatfield Forest covers around 400 hectares of ancient woodland, grassland and magnificent pollarded trees, along with 2 ornamental lakes, stream and marsh and a unique 18th century Georgian Shell House decorated with all kinds of flints and shells.

There are activities for the family all year round and it's the perfect place to take children. You can pick up a leaflet from the car park or shop which includes 2 walking routes of roughly the same length, at just over 1.75 miles; the Forest Walk and the Tree Walk. If you're looking for something a little longer then you can try this Hatfield Forest Walk that I completed with the family a few weeks ago or even this 7 mile Hatfield Forest Walk I found on Google Maps. For the latest membership offers you can visit the National Trust here.

4. Cotton Traders Walking Guide

Autumn To Winter Epping Forest Walks

October Walks

2013-10-12T09:34:00.001-07:00

Epping Forest is amazing all year round but autumn walks in Epping Forest are particularly wonderful with the vibrant green, brown and golden colours in this ancient and very well maintained woodland. The autumn to winter period also gives better visibility through the denser areas for spotting the Fallow Deer when going on long walks in Epping Forest.

****

Hertfordshire Walks Hatfield Forest Walks

Hatfield Forest is the perfect area to visit to explore ancient trees and meadows of a Medieval Royal Hunting Forest, and is owned and operated by the National Trust. This is a great place in Hertfordshire for walks and has a few way marked walking routes that are easy to follow, both of which are quite an easy 1.7 miles long. Hatfield Forest is at the end of the Forest Way from Epping Forest and also sits along a section of the Flitch Way, 5 minutes from the M11 in Takely, Bishops Stortford.

Epping Forest Bell Common Walking Route

The general idea for today was to go back out to Cobbins Brook, where I saw some of the Epping Forest Fallow Deer a few weeks ago, and take the Canon EOS 100D camera with me to test it out again and get some good pictures.

I started at Epping Forest London Underground Station and headed up to the High Road at Bell Common before joining the yellow Essex Ramblers Way Markers to Copped Hall where I walked up to Cobbins Brook and back. This walk took me just over 2 hours and covered just over 6 miles.

Another interesting place to walk is Westonbirt.

Here is a selection of the Westonbirt Arboretum Walks that are available in the autumn as well as some lovely photographs of what their trees look like.

There are approximately 20 Isle of Wight walks ranging from a mile or so up to around 8 mile walking routes in this glorious Hampshire countryside. One of the walking routes that really stood out for me was the Tennyson Down walk which I did a year or so ago - probably one of the loveliest walks I've ever done. I was on my own, it was a gorgeous day and the route was easy to follow and a good balance of terrain, few steep climbs but nothing of a challenge, not very muddy and offering amazing 360 views of the island.
