Nestled in a secluded part of the Aeron Valley in Ceredigion, you'll find Llanerchaeron, a charming country estate that's home to an early Palladian villa by John Nash.
Llanerchaeron
Newton House and Dinefwr
This 800-acre estate run by the National Trust in Carmarthenshire's Tywi Valley boasts a Jacobean mansion, the remains of a medieval castle and a deer park.
Ossau Valley
A road trip through the Ossau Valley, one of a number of valleys cutting a swathe through the Pyrenees.
Dordogne
With its lush green forests, picturesque medieval architecture and gourmet food, the Dordogne is one of my favourite French regions.
Cycling around Hue
A cycling trip through the terrifying streets of Hue to the peaceful fields and villages of the Vietnamese countryside.
Southerndown
Nestled in the shadows of the golden yellow limestone and shale cliffs of Wales's ancient Jurassic coastline, the sandy beach of Dunraven Bay only emerges when the tide is out.
Crickhowell
This attractive market town on the banks of the River Usk is surrounded by the Bannau Brycheiniog National Park and is a great base from which to explore the nearby countryside.
Ecomusee d’Alsace
The wonderful, deceptively big Ecomusée is an open-air museum dedicated to rural life in Alsace over the last couple of centuries.
Titisee and the Black Forest
A glistening 2.5km-long freshwater lake nestled between the lush, dark green pine-covered mountains of the Black Forest. The excessively touristy namesake town is less impressive.
Route du Vin
Snaking its way through the Alsatian countryside in the shadow of the Vosges mountains, the Route du Vin is so-called because of the many vineyards in the area.
Alsace
Having repeatedly changed hands over the centuries, this charming part of France is an intriguing mix of French and German culture.
Edinburgh: Arthur’s Seat
Beside Holyrood Palace in the centre of Edinburgh, you'll find Arthur's Seat, an extinct volcano that makes for a great hike and offers superb views of the city.
