Sometimes you come across a building that just feels like a portal to the past.

St. Martin’s Cathedral once hosted 11 royal coronations. Step into this beautiful building and you’re walking on royal ground.

Helpful tips for visiting Bibury:

✨ Arrive early to avoid tour bus crowds
✨ Parking is limited so plan ahead
✨ The village is walkable; venture beyond Arlington Row
✨ Book early for accommodation and meals in peak season

And if you don't already like trout, try to start 🤭

Michael's Gate was once part of a medieval fortified city wall. Now, it's the only gate that survives and stands proudly at the entrance to the Old Town.

Always pinch myself looking back at the photographs I've taken and the memories I've made, travelling around and seeing new places.

What a joy it is to explore.

Every branch so gently covered in fragile ice.

Would you take a frosty morning walk through this forest?

This is Čumil - is he Bratislava's cheekiest statue?

Peeking out at passers by from his sewer manhole.

The layers of past and present; old town rooftops in front and modern skyscrapers behind.

Early morning light rising beside Windsor Castle - and me without the right lens filters.

Oh, well.

If you like your Old Town's with a pastel vibe; Bratislava should be on your list.

Arlington Row is so iconic that it's even on the inside of British passports.
