There's no one to drop you off. You're carrying your own luggage. The bus timetable is limited. And parking prices that rival London airports for a fraction of the airport size.

Every year, hundreds of thousands of people from across the globe set out on its ancient trails, following the iconic yellow arrows and scallop shell markers that point the way to the magnificent cathedral in Santiago de Compostela, Spain. For some, the Camino is a religious act of devotion. For others, it’s a cultural experience, a chance to enjoy Spain’s landscap

When it comes to travel, choosing where to stay is about more than just comfort; it's a chance to dive headfirst into a new culture, meet locals, and collect unforgettable stories. I've been fortunate to try some incredible unusual places to stay in the UK and further afield, from nomadic yurts to converted historic buildings, and each one has offered a unique window into the place I was visiting.

If you're looking for a day trip from London that feels genuinely different, not just another city or a beach with a car park, Rye is it. Just 1.5 hours from London by train, this medieval East Sussex town is one of those places that stops you in your tracks.
