A short walk along my favourite stretch of the Regent's Canal, passing picturesque Little Venice, a series of grand Regency-style villas and a few London Zoo enclosures.

Torcello
Settled in the 5th century, the island of Torcello was for centuries the most prosperous island in the Venetian lagoon. It was also where Daphne du Maurier was inspired to write 'Don't Look Now'.
Burano
The colourful island of Burano in the Venetian lagoon is a photographer's dream – just watch out for the many, many selfie takers.
Venice: Art, canals and churches
A brief tour of Venice's Cannaregio and Rialto districts, the Grand Canal, the Galleria del'Accademia and the Church of Santi Giovanni e Paolo.
Venice: First impressions
Beautiful, eerie and bamboozling in equal measure, these are my first impressions of the fabled lagoon city.
Gloucester
The Romans, the royals and the Georgians have all left their mark on this ancient English city, resulting in a curious mix of the old and the new.
Coulon
One of the most beautiful villages in France, the tree-lined canals of the Green Venice are renowned for their charm and idyllic beauty.
Colmar
Famous for its brightly-painted old timber buildings and picture-perfect canal, the Alsatian town of Colmar makes for a charming day out.
