All You Need to Know About a Cruise and Didn’t Like to Ask!

by The Travel FairiesLeave a Comment on All You Need to Know About a Cruise and Didn’t Like to Ask!

Our latest adventure found us once again on a cruise ship. This is our third cruise and I have to admit it’s taken us a while to get used to cruising. I honestly believe that you have to ‘learn’ to cruise, because it is very different from a land based holiday. So I would like …

Tideswell and the Cathedral of the Peak

by thetravelfairiesLeave a Comment on Tideswell and the Cathedral of the Peak

If you enjoy visiting charming, quaint, old villages full of character, Tideswell in the Peak District should be added to your list. By Peak District standards, it’s a large village. It’s the second largest in the national park after Bakewell. But if you live in a town or city, it will seem tiny. The history …

Blackpool Illuminations

by thetravelfairiesLeave a Comment on Blackpool Illuminations

You surely can’t visit the Fylde in autumn/early winter without a visit to the illuminations. Cheesy. Traditional. Or actually, something that Blackpool should be proud of? Let’s see. The illuminations are on from the end of August to the beginning of January. This extends the usual British seaside season for the town.  Blackpool Illuminations are …

The Blue John Cavern

by thetravelfairiesLeave a Comment on The Blue John Cavern

If you find yourself in the Peak District and fancy a weatherproof excursion, you could do worse than a trip to Blue John Cavern. The scenery on the drive makes for a pleasant journey too.  The cavern is named after the semiprecious mineral, Blue John. It’s a rare form of fluorite and is also the …

A Return to Kedleston Hall

by thetravelfairiesLeave a Comment on A Return to Kedleston Hall

Located just a few miles away from Derby, Kedleston Hall is a spectacular stately home owned by the National Trust. While the magnificent mansion you see is neoclassical, the powerful Curzon family, who owned the hall, have lived in Kedleston since the 1150s. Unlike many wealthy families, they didn’t update and extend their grand houses, …

Conisbrough Castle

by thetravelfairiesLeave a Comment on Conisbrough Castle

Conisbrough Castle isn’t quite unique, but it’s a very rare design in England. Keeps are usually square, but Conisbrough has a polygonal or cylindrical design. The closest in style in the country is Orford Castle in Suffolk. It is certainly striking, and the white stone looks beautiful. Built in the 1170s or 80s, this picturesque …

Roche Abbey Ruins

by thetravelfairiesLeave a Comment on Roche Abbey Ruins

Roche Abbey is very much a ruin. There isn’t very much left of what must have been a phenomenally impressive complex of buildings. But it still is quite a magnificent sight with the surviving white towers, expanse of lawns and an enchanting stream running through it. It’s not difficult to see why it’s a Grade …

Nottingham and its Castle

by thetravelfairiesLeave a Comment on Nottingham and its Castle

We decided to take a visit over the school holidays to Nottingham Castle and have a wander around the city while we were there. It’s not much more than an hour or so away and a castle we’ve never visited. Tickets were reserved online and off we went.  Nottingham Castle isn’t really a castle. It …

The Peak Rail

by thetravelfairiesLeave a Comment on The Peak Rail

I don’t know why, but there is something quite romantic about a steam train journey. There shouldn’t be. It’s noisy. It’s dirty. It’s far from smooth and it’s relatively slow. And yet, there’s nothing quite like it as a way to get somewhere. Especially on Peak Rail. Peak Rail is a heritage railway offering train rides …

Mexico Mini Blog (Part Four)

by LucyLeave a Comment on Mexico Mini Blog (Part Four)

Back in August 2023, myself (Lucy) and Adam got married. As we’ve lived together for a while now, we asked for any wedding gifts to be money that we could put towards our honeymoon. As I had done most of the planning for the wedding, Adam was left in charge of organising the honeymoon, which …
