Walk London's bridges: London is famous for its bridges, but its two newest – the Millenium Bridge and the Hungerford Bridge – are notable for the absence of traffic. These two pedestrian bridges have been embraced by Londoners and tourists alike and a stroll across the bridges and along the banks of the Thames between the two is a wonderful way to see the city.

The cider trail: Home to Bulmers (makers of Strongbow cider among other brands), Hereford and the surrounding district is one of the major centres for the production of cider in the UK.  The free cider route map from the local tourist centre shows the way to eight cider farms, such as Broome Farm near Ross-on-Wye where traditional farmhouse cider is made and sold.

Cuddling Up in the Cotswolds: Shouldn't everyone have a bear to go to bed with? They think so at the elegant Hotel on the Park in the Cotswolds town of Cheltenham, where every guest has a teddy to tuck up with. And better still, breakfast includes Drambuie porridge – Goldilocks would be impressed.

The Romantic Road: For an Australian, an old pub is one that’s been around for 100 years.  In England, times that concept by 10.  The Royalist Hotel, in the pretty Cotswolds village of Stow-on-the-Wold dates from 947AD and is certified as the oldest inn in England in the Guinness Book of Records.  According to the owners, Australian chef Alan Thompson and his wife Georgina, the Royalist began as part of a Saxon Community as long ago as 514 AD.

Cutting a dash through the Cotswolds: Among the most romantic of British regions, the Cotswolds is all thatched cottages, winding lanes, atmospheric country pubs and postcard villages.

Black on white: The black and white village trail is a signposted 40-mile circular trail that starts in Leominster and takes you through some of the prettiest villages and towns in England.  Story by Lee Atkinson

Bath time: The year is 1779.  Anybody who is anyone in polite and fashionable society spends the season in Bath, taking the waters in the Pump Room and dancing the evening away or playing cards at the Assembly Rooms.  Gossip is rife, the gowns are beautiful and the atmosphere lively. Throughout the 18th century, Bath, in the south-west of England, was the height of fashion and elegance.  Story by Lee Atkinson
