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.

English Heritage sites are beginning to open up again so we've been able to get out on the weekends and explore again. This weekend was Kenilworth Castle! And amazing castle that Elizabeth I visited a handful of times in the 1570's

The Reform Tower, also known as the Earl Grey Towe

The Reform Tower, also known as the Earl Grey Tower, located in the Stanton Moors. We came across the tower after having checked out the Nine Ladies stone circle. Built in the mid 1800's by William Pole Thornhill and dedicated to the Reform Act of 1832 (pushed through by the 2nd Earl Grey) it was used as a shooting tower for the Thornhill family.
