North Wales is a rugged and gorgeous region of the UK. Only now are more people discovering for themselves what a truly stunning area this is. Castles and ruins dotted along the towns and inlets are a reminder of its historic past and how the English struggled to subdue the fiercely patriotic Welsh people. Inland, you’ll discover dense forests and gorgeous waterfalls. Snowdonia will leave you speechless. The coastline will woo you to return over and over again.

Wild ponies can be seen roaming freely on the moors across Dartmoor National Park. One of the oldest breeds of ponies in the world, they are considered the closest breed to wild horses remaining in Europe. To experience this in person is overworldy.

England is known for it’s stunning gardens. I travel through the heart of England to discover a lessen known gardens but are nothing short of enchanting. It felt like I had entered my own secret garden.
