Feeling a thousand miles from London in the pretty Essex countryside.

London’s countryside at its best: Lea Valley and Epping Forest in the sunshine.

Walking and museums in St. Albans.

Autumnal beauty in the Chilterns.

Beauty, swimming and summer beers.

Sunshine, vineyards and hillsides.

The true glory of the North Downs.

A wet stroll through the North Downs.

Pixie magic in north Kent.
