About Me

Hi! I’m Michelle, I’m a Kiwi girl born and bred, living in Nottingham, England with my husband and travel buddy. We both have a passion for History and travel and we often choose our destinations based on the history of the area. I started this blog to connect with fellow travelers, document my own travels and pass on my own tips and tricks that I’ve picked up along the way.

We spent Saturday afternoon visiting Burghley House, built by William Cecil (Lord High Treasurer to Queen Elizabeth I) in the 16th Century. It's an absolutely amazing property to explore

Another weekend and another historic manor house! Owned by the Duke of Rutland (who also owns Belvoir Castle), it holds 900yrs of history in its walls. Some of the items in the house are over 500yrs old and are incredibly well preserved.

We stumbled across the Duddo Five Stones when we driving through the Northumberland countryside. It's only a short walk from the road and we had it completely to ourselves. Thankfully, the rain held off for the hour we were at the site!

Wouldn't know it was summer time in England with the constant drizzle we had while visiting Raby Castle on the weekend! Beautiful private home dating back to the 12th Century! Currently owned by the Vain family who are related by marriage to the Neville family who originally owned the castle.

Finally things are starting to reopen here in the UK! We decided to make the use of our National Trust membership over the weekend and visit a couple of places. One of which was Calke Abbey - the 'Un-Stately Home'. Left in the state of disrepair that it was taken over in to show how many of these homes ended up
