ESCAPE TO THE LAKE DISTRICT

Rural Rides

How many of us search for a dream, and then spend a lifetime fulfilling it? Clough Williams-Ellis spent 20 years seeking the ideal location to build his Italianate village and 50 years building it. Originally he thought an island might be a possible location, but it was only when he came to an untamed peninsula on the breathtaking Traeth Bach tidal estuary that he realised he had finally found his chosen spot.

The Literary Pilgrim

Browsing recently in a charity shop, I came across a copy of a book I had at home on my shelf of treasured children’s books. I was young when I first read it and it proved to be a seminal book, one to which I have been indebted ever since. First published in 1937, it was written by a Wesleyan minister who roamed England in a horse-drawn caravan, writing as he went of the countryside and its wildlife. He called himself Romany.

Escape To The Lake District

Evergreen Magazine Description:

British history, customs and traditions are all beautifully described in Evergreen magazine.

Evergreen is Britain’s best-loved quarterly, a heart-warming collection of this and that and things gone by which takes readers on a gentle journey around the highways and byways of Britain. Explore Britain’s beautiful countryside in each seasonal issue as we call at ancient churches and unspoilt villages, uncover quaint customs and curiosities, and share stories, snippets of poetry and the words of half-remembered songs with our readers all over the world.

Our travels also take us on regular trips down memory lane, with refreshing and fond recollections of Britain in “times gone by” as we revisit summer holidays, call at the village shop, savour our favourite entertainers and cherish memorable local characters. Each issue is wonderfully packed with some 20-30 short written pieces accompanied by evocative photography with a now and then feel on the best things about Britain.
