Walk Brittany’s Coast Path

]]>Lewis, Outer Hebrides, Scotland
Although reaching the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides may take some time, it’s certainly worth it. You can expect white sand beaches and pristine water, and you will often find that you have huge stretches of beach almost to yourself. While this is great for relaxing and unwinding, you will want to make sure that if you’re a novice surfer there are people around, just in case you get in trouble in the water.
Woolacombe, Devon
The north coast of the county of Devon has recently been designated a surfing reserve, in recognition of the fantastic conditions that this coastline provides for surfing. Woolacombe, a sandy beach stretching for over three miles, is one of the most popular destinations. Experts and beginners alike enjoy the big waves on this shore, and once you’re done with surfing you can relax with a coffee and cake from one of the beachside cafes.
Saltburn-by-the-Sea, Yorkshire
This large beach in the county of Yorkshire has been popular with British surfers for decades. It can get busy, although for beginners it can be a relief to know that there are lots of others in the water with you. Once you’ve had enough of surfing, head to the funicular railway which will carry you to the top of the cliff for stunning seaside views.

]]>Better Deals
It’s a well-known fact that prices of flights, hotels, and hostels rise in line with demand. Getting away from it all in high season (which typically means June through to August in the northern hemisphere) can cost you significantly more than an early spring or fall break, so if budget is a concern wait until September or October before booking that trip away.
Fewer People
Tourist hotspots across Europe can become uncomfortably crowded during the summer months. Whether you’re trying to get a gondola ride in Venice, climb to the top of the Eiffel Tower, bag a spot on a Greek beach, or wander the streets of London, anywhere that’s popular and beautiful is likely to become overcrowded during a summer vacation. However, if you visit these same destinations in the fall, you are likely to find far fewer visitors, leading to a more relaxed vacation.
Cooler Weather
Over recent summers, temperatures in parts of Italy and Greece have become dangerously hot, leading to wildfires across several regions. These temperatures are not only dangerous, they can be incredibly disruptive to your trip. By visiting warmer climates in the fall, you can avoid uncomfortable heat and the disruption it causes.

]]>Amiens Cathedral
The cathedral dominates the center of the city, and dates from the medieval period. It is a stunning example of Gothic architecture and is just as impressive inside as it is outside. This cathedral’s claim to fame is that it’s actually the largest in France—two cathedrals the size of Notre Dame could fit inside the interior of Amiens’ cathedral!
The Floating Gardens
A canal tour around the floating gardens is a must-see if you’re visiting Amiens. These stunning gardens surround the waterways, giving the impression that the plants are floating. Canal tours last between one hour to three, with guides providing information about the history of the gardens and the city.

Amiens is a city steeped in history and culture. Why not visit the Musée De Picardie, which hosts plenty of classical art and sculpture, or the Somme 1916 museum to learn more about the traumatic yet interesting history of World War One? There’s so much to see and do in this charming city!
