“Black” water rafting is a peculiarly kiwi invention and a highly recommended activity
if you come to the Waitomo cave area in the west of the North Island. The idea is to
float along an underground river in a large inflated tyre experiencing the caves (for

A trip up Ninety Mile Beach to Cape Reinga was a highlight of my trip to the North of New
Zealand. The beach is a designated roadway and various tourist buses shuttle visitors
along the windswept, moody stretch of coast to the dramatic rocky cape (where the Maoris

The George pub in the village of Norton St Philip (South of Bath, Somerset) is one of the
most charming and historic pubs in the area if you find yourself driving through or
catching the bus out of town. It is one of the many English pubs that claim to be the
country’s oldest and is...

For a quintessential photo of a rural English street head to Gold Hill, Shaftesbury in
Dorset, England where, behind the market house, the cobbled street winds it way downhill
past flower-decked thatched cottages and the remains of a wall belonging to Shaftesbury
Abbey (see photo)....

One of my favourite lesser-known sights of the UK is the mad stone ring at Avebury.
Everyone has heard of Stonehenge and its compact circles of impressive stones but Avebury
is a lot less known and subsequently less visited. The site consists of a circle of
stones 1.3 km in...

Apparently Bath is the second most visited place in the UK after London but it’s not too
hard to get away from the crowds and the main sites and discover some hidden gems along
the River Avon. My personal favourite is (in summer) rowing along the river by hiring
either a rowing boat...

The best way to experience the scenic city of Bath is a stroll around the town centre,
particularly to take in the Crescent, the Circus, the Abbey Square and the river Avon with
its weir at Pultney Bridge. I’d also highly recommend taking the steps down from the
east side of the...

Guebwiller is to the south of Colmar in the Alsace region and is flanked by pretty
vineyard-dotted hills. The town is strung along one main long street and dominated by its
church. It’s a convenient location from which to explore the area (particularly the
Vosges) and during...

Castle Cary is an often overlooked Somerset town about 5 miles to the east of Glastonbury
but is worth a visit if you’re in the area for the picturesque town centre (with its
Victorian town hall, small local museum and the thatched St George pub opposite) and for
the views from Lodge...

The Alsatian town of Artolsheim has a tradition of staging a town-wide Christmas fair
around mid-December and if you’re in the area it’s perhaps worth a detour to see. The
fair has the atmosphere of a real community event with houses open for you to watch the
preparation of...

Of all the Christmas markets I’ve visited across the Savoy area of France and in Germany
the one at Colmar has been my favourite. The atmospheric setting of Colmar’s narrow
winding streets with their timbered buildings adds lots of flavour to the event but the
city usually outdoes...

Annecy is well worth a detour if you find yourself in the area as the old town is a lovely
labyrinth of winding alleyways centred around the scenic “Prison D’Isle”, and
reminiscent of a northern Venice since it’s crossed by several canals, some of them
decorated with flowers in...

Montagny près Louhans is a quiet and attractive town just outside Louhans but there’s
not a great deal to attract tourists. It is a “ville fleurie” with a nice display of
flowers in the Summer and the small church is interesting. If you’re really lucky you
might time your visit for...

If you’re after a little bit of London off the beaten track you could do a lot worse
than swing by the Sir John Soane’s museum in historic Lincoln’s Inn Field (nearest
tube Holborn). Soanes was a neo-classical architect and his house has been converted into
a small treasure trove of...

The best time to visit Louhans is Monday mornings when the town holds its noisy market.
You can find clothes and hardware along the arcades, olives, meat and fruit around the
church and, just to the south of the town centre near the post office, livestock. Louhans
is one of the few...

Louhans makes a pleasant stop over as you’re heading to or from the Jura or the
vineyards of Burgundy. The most scenic part is the 11th century arcades that are at the
heart of the town and they flank both sides of the street and are a welcome retreat from
the summer sunshine. There...
