The UK is the place I know best in the world, which sounds obvious for someone who grew up there, but it definitely took leaving to really appreciate it! I grew up in the Cotswolds (and my parents still live there), then a decade in Bath during/after university before packing up and starting this whole adventure of full-time travel.

These guides cover the parts of the UK I know from the inside: the Cotswolds and Bath as a near-local, the Lake District and Jurassic Coast as a hiker, and all the beautiful spots in between. Manu, who grew up in Italy and had never experienced a proper British summer until he met me, can also confirm that the UK is significantly more beautiful than its reputation suggests!
