Kingswear and Devon
A return to Kingswear, across the estuary from Dartmouth. We explored coastal towns to the southwest this time, and enjoyed revisiting our favourite places in Dartmouth.

Hawes and Wensleydale
We love the run-up to Christmas in our home in Wensleydale. We decorate the house extravagantly, and visit the wonderful pubs and restaurants with their special Christmas menus. I have fun with Christmas baking and entertaining.

Mundesley and North Norfolk
It was an interesting visit to a part of Norfolk that I have not explored before. The town of Holt was a highlight, as were exploring the coast and the Vicarage Gardens in East Ruston.

Beadnell, Northumberland
Beadnell is an interesting coastal town in Northumberland, one of my favourite counties. We explored both the coast and inland. The only disappointment was a shortage of nice restaurants, but the smokehouse in Seahouses had some tasty treats to take home.

The history of the canals of Britain is an important but less-known aspect of the Industrial Revolution. Narrowboats once moved goods and raw materials to markets all over the country. Today, there are still a few freight and other businesses plying the waters, but mainly they are tourist rentals and liveaboards.

This is the story of how we came to love spending time on the waterways of Britain. Part one starts with our first trip on a “big pig” on the Thames, and goes on to describe the first trips on narrowboats.
