What an amazing experience. The tour was both informative and unbelievably interesting. We learnt about the history of the theatre. We visited the stage, behind the stage, rehearsal areas, the new prop assembly area, the green room and the auditorium. At the end you had a very clear idea of the effort and hard work put in to deliver a performance. A truly enjoyable morning out.
2. New Forest National Park
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 1,810 reviews
The New Forest National Park is truly unique. It’s a ‘world capital’ for wildlife with a huge diversity of rare plants and animals– one of the reasons why it was made a National Park in 2005. A place of outstanding natural beauty, the unique landscape is shaped by the grazing of ponies, cattle and pigs that roam freely. These animals may appear wild, but they are owned by people called commoners. One of the last places in southern England to offer a sense of wildness and tranquillity, it’s a wonderful area to explore on foot, horseback, or by bike. Indeed William the Conqueror, who set aside the ‘New Forest’ for hunting more than 900 years ago, would probably recognise much of it today.

An amazing place nestled in Southern England .. Some of the closer town which boost of scenic boutique hotels are Lyndhurst, Burley and Romsey... The entire forest is absolutely scenic, stunning and lush.. you could easily see grazing Horse, cattle and deers.. Surely a perfect get away from London as it’s just a 2 hours drive and offers you a perfect relaxing moment to create memories to cherish. Plenty of places to visit if you intend to relax, rejuvenate, organize a team or family gathering, wedding plans or just want to hike by yourself to spent a me time secluded from the rest of the world.., I spent my 2 nights at White Buck Burley (separate review uploaded).. Their are many great restaurant options around town but surely recommend to drive down as having a car or bike is important... Enjoy and live your life...

Trek to Seven Sisters Country Park, Eastbourne When I overheard about this place from a friend somehow it fascinated me and then did a research about this place Time to visit and how long it takes to cover the entire place. So made sure I have prepared myself well as this one demands one to be fit physically It is a stunning circular walk that takes in Birling Gap, Seven Sisters and Friston Forest. This walk is just under 8 miles / 13km in length and should take about 8 hours to walk as it is a rough stretch. It is the highest chalk sea cliff in Britain, rising to 162 metres (531 ft) above sea level. It attracts nearly half a million visitors each year We have loads of things to do one can Walk to the beach along the easy access trail And then enjoy the stunning scenery, especially the great views from the top of the Seven Sisters cliffs and hillsides Got a chance to check out the great wildlife including wading birds on the beach and at the coastguard huts, flowers and butterflies on the hillsides, and the fascinating pebble beach Point to note – it can get extremely windy so make sure to wear warmer clothing if it's later in the year. Would recommend going on a sunny day so you can get better views of the cliffs and the hills. Took a bus from Brighton to Seven Sisters country park visitor center, Take a Brighton Hover bus saver ticket at the Brighton center 12, 12x and 13x are the buses. Takes about 45 minutes to reach. Be ready with you camera as you pass glorious landscapes and beautiful country side. Get down at Cuckmere Inn and then follow the map. Pit Stop 1 – Cuckmere Inn Pit Stop 2 – Coast guard huts from there you can enjoy the sweeping views across the sea to the Seven Sisters and Belle Tout lighthouse.????????♂️ Pit Stop 3- Head to the beach from the coast guard huts spend some time by the beach????????♂️ Pit Stop 4 – Walk up the cliffs and then walk across the 7 hills and reach the end point – Belle Tout lighthouse.????????♂️ Best time to Visit: - During Spring and post monsoon season Timing to visit: Every day 11.00am to 4.00pm Entry fee: - There is no entry fee its free but do make sure you visit Seven Sisters country park visitor center and grab a quick bite before you head to and then collect a copy of the map at the visitor centre. On the whole all I say is - Travel opens your heart, broadens your mind and fills your life with stories to tell!???? Great memories happen when you wake up backpack and Travel ????????????♂️????????????♂️????

Visit the famous hedge maze, Tudor knot garden and the state apartments at this splendid red-brick Tudor Palace, which is set in formal gardens and open parkland along the Thames River.

I've always wanted to visit Hampton Court Palace And It exceeded my expectations It's truly amazing It's Tudor and Baroque architecture are both equally wonderful, the gardens are beautiful you can easily spend a whole day wondering around and still not see it all. When we arrived which was at 9.15 they had just lit the fire in the kitchens (you could smell the smoke wafting over the East front gardens) you can go in and look around the front gardens at 9 am the roses smelt lovely at that time of the morning and we even saw some wild Parakeets flying around. When we we went we where lucky enough to go when you could meet Henry viii and interview a couple of his wives listening to the actors playing them was very interesting and really enjoyable, and it was a pleasure talking to the guides in the rooms of the palace their knowledge about the history of the place was enjoyable to listen to, it was the same talking to the people in the kitchens finding out what life was like working in a Tudor kitchen, Hampton court palace is well worth a visit and I would go back again.

From the moment we walked up the drive and saw the beautiful and striking Arundel castle home to the Duke of Norfolk it was simply just breathtaking, and inside was stunning, the library took my breath away. The most amazing castle I have ever visited. The gardens are beautiful with so many beautiful features, with the beautiful Arundel Cathedral as a back drop. Would most definitely return and highly recommend a visit

This scenic park offers a delightful two-mile walk through meadows and along river banks, offering picturesque views and ideal spots for picnics, sitting or just relaxing.
Reviewed By KatrienS955 - Ghent, Belgium
The entrance to the meadow was extremely crowded, and also near the buildings of Christ Church there were several tour groups, and it was overwhelmingly crowded, with long lines to get in. However, as soon as we turned into the tree lined walk to the river, we left the crowds behind, and thus had a lovely walk along the river and the meadows, with some great views over Magdalen college tower and the Christ Church buildings in a distance. Passed several punters, and more kajaks.
