A gloriously sunny day at Leeds Castle which looks beautiful from every angle. . September is here which means that my summer travels are over and I have to go back to reality and the world of work *tear rolls down cheek*. It has been a lovely break and I have been lucky enough to visit some wonderful places. Fortunately, Autumn is my favourite season. I love the watching the leaves change colour and we often get some lovely sunny days which are perfect for walks in the countryside. Some of my favourite days visiting cities have been during the Autumn when the slight chill in the air gives the perfect excuse for sloping into a cafe for tea and cake, to warm up! . . . . . . . . . #lovegreatbritain #mybritain #photosofbritain #bestukpics #Ig_united_kingdom #loves_united_kingdom #explore_britain #unlimitedengland #instabritain #total_united_kingdom #uk_greatshots #loves_united_england #englandsbigpicture #bbcbritain #visitengland #liveuk #gloriousbritain #ig_britishisles #britains_talent #bestunitedkingdom
Is it Cambridge? Maybe it is Oxford? Neither - in fact it is Leeds. No, not the Leeds in Yorkshire, but the one in Kent! Punting is one of the many activities that you can do in the beautiful grounds of Leeds Castle. So why is there a Leeds in Kent? The village may have taken its name from a stream which in early times was known as the Hlyde, meaning the loud or noisy one. The original settlement was called Hlydes, meaning 'belonging to the noisy one' and is recorded as Esledes in the Domesday Book of 1086 which was a word meaning slope or hillside as the village is on a hillside above the River Len. An alternative explanation for the name is that it derived its name from Ledian, who built the first wooden fortress here in 978. . . . . . . . . . . #lovegreatbritain #mybritain #photosofbritain #bestukpics #Ig_united_kingdom #loves_united_kingdom #explore_britain #unlimitedengland #instabritain #total_united_kingdom #uk_greatshots #loves_united_england #englandsbigpicture #bbcbritain #visitengland #liveuk #gloriousbritain #ig_britishisles #britains_talent #bestunitedkingdom
So, a year ago pretty much exactly, I started a blog with good intentions, just as a hobby. After about 4 posts, the project was abandoned and I pretty much forgot all about it. Anyway, a year in and I have finally written a new post about my mini break to Cambridge. So if you are feeling bored, or it is raining ☔️ why not pop across and have a read? 😉 Link will be in the bio. Let’s see how I get on this time. I enjoy writing a post, but it is so time consuming! It might be another year before the next one! . . . . . #lovegreatbritain #mybritain #photosofbritain #bestukpics #Ig_united_kingdom #loves_united_kingdom #explore_britain #unlimitedengland #instabritain #total_united_kingdom #uk_greatshots #loves_united_england #englandsbigpicture #bbcbritain #visitengland #liveuk #gloriousbritain #ig_britishisles #britains_talent #bestunitedkingdom
I have enjoyed a summer of castles this year and Leeds Castle certainly did not disappoint. . . Leeds Castle has been called the ‘loveliest castle in the world.’ It has been a Norman stronghold, a royal residence and a royal palace. In its lifetime, the castle has been home to six medieval queens and its most famous owner was Henry VIII. He transformed the castle into a magnificent palace for his first wife Catherine of Aragon. . . . . . . . #lovegreatbritain #mybritain #photosofbritain #bestukpics #Ig_united_kingdom #loves_united_kingdom #explore_britain #unlimitedengland #instabritain #total_united_kingdom #uk_greatshots #loves_united_england #englandsbigpicture #bbcbritain #visitengland #liveuk #gloriousbritain #ig_britishisles #bestunitedkingdom #britains_talent
King of the castle! The inside of Bodiam Castle isn’t as intact as the outside, but you can climb winding narrow staircases up into the battlements and enjoy the views. . . . . . . . #lovegreatbritain #mybritain #photosofbritain #abritains_talent #bestukpics #Ig_united_kingdom #loves_united_kingdom #explore_britain #unlimitedengland #instabritain #total_united_kingdom #uk_greatshots #loves_united_england #englandsbigpicture #bbcbritain #visitengland #liveuk #gloriousbritain #ig_britishisles
Enjoying a lazy Sunday as the rain pours down outside. Pot of tea and toasted banana cake with lashings of butter are at the ready. . . . . . Beautiful Bodiam Castle on a far nicer summer’s day. . . . . . . . #lovegreatbritain #mybritain #photosofbritain #abritains_talent #bestukpics #Ig_united_kingdom #loves_united_kingdom #explore_britain #unlimitedengland #instabritain #total_united_kingdom #uk_greatshots #loves_united_england #englandsbigpicture #bbcbritain #visitengland #liveuk #gloriousbritain #ig_britishisles
