Save this for your UK bucket list 🐮🇬🇧

I’d wanted to meet Highland cows for years, and this experience completely lived up to everything I’d hoped it would be.

Rather than just seeing them from a distance, you get to prepare their favourite treats, brush them, hand feed them and learn all about their different personalities. They’re such gentle, curious animals, and I left with the biggest smile on my face.

If you’re looking for unique things to do in Derbyshire or a memorable UK day trip, I’d definitely add The Highland Cow Experience to your list.

📍 Location at the end 📍

Before visiting, this wasn’t a destination I knew much about, but it ended up being one of the biggest surprises of the year and I really wish I’d visited sooner.

What I loved most was the variety. Historic neighbourhoods, incredible wildlife, an amazing food scene, waterfront sunsets and cultural influences I wasn’t expecting to find all in one place.

It’s the kind of destination that works just as well for a few days on its own as it does as part of a wider Florida adventure.

It’s also much easier to get to than you might think, with direct flights from London taking around 10 hours, or around 1.5 to 2 hours by car from Orlando.

Save this for your next UK city break.

When I think back on Derby, it’s the variety that really stands out. We spent two nights there, which felt like the perfect amount of time to experience the city, although there was still plenty left on our list for next time.

I wasn’t expecting to find somewhere that combines nearly 2,000 years of history with riverside walks, independent restaurants, world class art, green spaces, sustainability projects and unforgettable wildlife experiences all in one trip.

It’s only around 90 minutes from London by direct train, which makes it such an easy city break if you’re looking for somewhere a little different.

Save this spa just 30 minutes from London 🌿

📍 Location at the end 📍

Whenever I’m asked to recommend a spa near London, this is always one of the first places I suggest.

I love how much it feels like a proper escape, with beautiful natural landscaping, an indoor-outdoor hydrotherapy pool, hot tubs and dreamy relaxation spaces. There’s also a huge choice of treatments, including their signature Inner Harmony massage with aromatherapy oils and crystals.

We stayed in one of the Mews Suites with a private hot tub too, so we could take the spa experience back to our room.

And it’s surprisingly easy to reach, with trains from London St Pancras to St Albans taking as little as 21 minutes, followed by a short taxi.

Save this for your next trip to France 🇫🇷 ad

One of my favourite things about this trip was discovering just how much there is to see beyond Paris without a car.

Whether you want to add an easy day trip to your Paris itinerary or spend a few days exploring more of the region, these are three places in Normandy I’d genuinely recommend visiting with @train.nomad

Most people instantly recognise the destinations featured in this reel, but what if I told you they’re all the same place?

One of my favourite things about travel is finding destinations that challenge your expectations, and this was one of them. The mix of cultures, architecture, food and history made me feel like I’d visited several countries in one trip.

I’ll be sharing more from my time here very soon.

📍 Location at the end 📍

Before visiting, I had no idea how much history, culture and innovation was packed into one city. In just two days, we found haunted pubs dating back centuries, beautiful riverside walks, incredible independent food, Highland cows and one fascinating story after another.

One of the biggest highlights was discovering that it forms part of the Derwent Valley Mills UNESCO World Heritage Site, recognised as the birthplace of the modern factory system during the Industrial Revolution. Visiting the Museum of Making, built on the site of the world’s first modern factory, really brought that story to life.

I also loved discovering the work of Joseph Wright, whose dramatic candlelit paintings helped define the Age of Enlightenment. Seeing the world’s largest collection of his work in the city where he lived made the experience feel even more special.

Safe to say, Derby completely changed my expectations. If you’re looking for somewhere a little different for your next UK city break, I’d definitely recommend adding it to your list.

If you haven’t been to Herefordshire you need to see this.

On this trip, I found myself wandering through historic market towns, canoeing along one of the UK’s most beautiful rivers, staying in a treehouse surrounded by nature, and even trekking through the countryside with llamas.

A few highlights I’d recommend:

🏠 Exploring the charming streets of Ledbury

🏰 Getting lost in the gardens and maze at Hampton Court Castle

🛏 Staying in a treehouse at The Fold

🦙 Llama trekking in the foothills of the Black Mountains

🛶 Canoeing down the River Wye

🏞 Taking in the views from Symonds Yat Rock

It’s the kind of county that quietly surprises you. Beautiful landscapes, fascinating history and plenty of experiences that feel a little different from the usual UK getaway.

Have you visited Herefordshire before? I’d love to know your favourite spot 👇
