DIY your trip to Lake District with guides
and itineraries by local experts

Free and paid guides for the UK, all in one place. A little bit more about myself: After a one week roadtrip in Scotland and spending a year in the UK as part of my degree (Erasmus+), I fell in love with the UK. I then came back to France (my home country) to finish my master's degree, met my British husband online and we were on a long distance relationship for almost 3 years. We got married in November 2022 and relocated to London in early 2023. Each chance we get, we escape London and visit the UK National Parks, towns and cities. Through these guides, I want to encourage you to explore the UK's hidden gems and most beautiful locations. Tip: If you want to get a sense of where these locations are relative to major cities like London, make sure to use the map feature! I hope these guides will be useful and inspire you to explore more of the UK!
