Standing on the ridge of Senlac Hill, it is wild to picture the chaos that unfolded right beneath your feet on 14 October 1066. https://youtu.be/RtsCvieimMs

Most people know William the Conqueror defeated King Harold here, but walking the grounds gives you the actual scale of that clash. Following the fighting, the Pope ordered William to build an abbey as penance for the massive loss of life. William insisted that the high altar sit directly where Harold fell. Today, a single carved stone marker rests in the turf where that altar once rose, surrounded by the soaring ruins of the monks' dormitory and the vaulted medieval undercrofts.

The town of Battle grew directly from the abbey gates. The massive 14th-century gatehouse looms over the high street, leading down past centuries-old timber buildings, crooked shops, and quiet coaching inns. It is one of the most atmospheric corners of England to wander on foot.

Oh I do like to be beside the seaside... 🌊✨
https://youtu.be/3NU8FeYut_U
Folkestone has earned its reputation as one of the finest coastal getaways on the south coast, and tonight, we’re taking you there!

From walking the historic railway tracks on the restored Harbour Arm to hunting down hidden Antony Gormley and Banksy pieces through the cobbled Creative Quarter, Folkestone perfectly blends rich maritime history with incredible modern energy.

Whether you're looking for coastal walk inspiration along the chalk cliffs or just want to scout the best artisan street food by the water, this is one seaside escape you don't want to miss.

In our opinion, it's now a better destination than Brighton for the best seaside day out.

Let’s explore Kent’s ultimate coastal retreat together. See you there! 🎬👇

We were invited to the Palace! 😍
https://youtu.be/CKwDegkdxJ4

The wonderful team at Blenheim Palace asked us to visit and explore this wonderful palace. How could we refuse!

Walking through the grand gates feels like stepping straight onto a period drama set. This monumental English Baroque estate in Oxfordshire holds a special distinction: it is the only non-royal, non-episcopal country residence in England to carry the palace title.

Queen Anne gifted the land and funds in the early 1700s to John Churchill, 1st Duke of Marlborough, following his triumph at the Battle of Blenheim. This started a tumultuous thirty-year saga characterised by political betrayal, financial disputes, and intense personal rivalry.

Centuries later, in 1874, Sir Winston Churchill was born right inside these walls, very unexpectedly and prematurely.

Wandering past towering stone columns, gilded ceilings, and formal water terraces, one finds that every corridor echoes with centuries of British heritage.

Pulling up to Inveraray Castle on the edge of Loch Fyne, the first thing that hits you is the sheer scale of the estate. https://youtu.be/n-XQ3Vt6Roo

This dramatic property has served as the official seat of Clan Campbell and the Duke of Argyll since the 1400s. The current fortress went up in the mid-1700s after the previous stronghold came down. Step inside the soaring Armoury Hall and you will see walls covered in over a thousand historic weapons, including original muskets preserved from the 1746 Battle of Culloden.

The story does not stop at the castle gates. In the mid-18th century, the 5th Duke decided the original medieval settlement sat too close to his front door, so he relocated the entire population and built the current waterfront town from scratch. Master builders laid out the wide avenues, painted the stone buildings bright white, and created the planned Georgian streets you can still walk today.

Take a look around the historic interior and join our walk through the Georgian streets in our full tour video below:

If you think Oban is just a place to catch a ferry, think again
https://youtu.be/M90Aira_8Co

Oban is an incredible destination packed with heritage, scenery, and flavour. Known worldwide as the Seafood Capital of Scotland, it offers so much more than a transit hub for island-bound travellers.

Long before it became a bustling coastal hub, the area around the bay was home to ancient clans and early settlers. Overlooking the water sits Dunollie Castle, the historic stronghold of the Clan MacDougall. High above the town, the striking 19th-century McCaig’s Tower dominates the skyline—built out of local granite to provide work for stonemasons and model the Roman Colosseum. Down in the centre, you'll find the historic Oban Distillery, established in 1794, which helped shape the town as it grew around the harbour.

Staying overnight lets you experience the town's true charm. Feast on fresh lobster, oysters, and scallops right off the pier, take a walk up to Pulpit Hill for sensational sunsets across the Firth of Lorn, or explore nearby medieval ruins.

Don't miss out on this Highland treasure—make sure to pause, stay a few nights, and take it all in!

Have you ever stepped off a small boat and immediately felt the weight of hundreds of years of history right beneath your feet?
https://youtu.be/ec6zztgxR04
That feeling hits the moment you set foot on the Isle of Iona, off the southwestern tip of Mull. It is a quiet island—only about three miles long—yet back in the Early Middle Ages, this remote patch of land stood as one of the most important centres of religion and learning in Western Europe.
In AD 563, St. Columba landed here from Ireland with twelve companions to set up a simple wooden monastery. Over time, that small community grew into a powerhouse of art, illuminated manuscript writing, and faith. In fact, historians believe parts of the famous Book of Kells were crafted right here before Viking raids forced the surviving monks to pack up their treasures and flee to safety. When you walk around the 13th-century abbey today, you are walking past stone that has weathered Atlantic storms, abandonment, and centuries of Scottish history.
Just outside, in the neighbouring burial ground, possibly lie the legendary resting places of dozens of early kings from Scotland, Ireland, and Norway—including King Macbeth himself.
Iona has a stillness to it that stays with you long after the return ferry leaves the pier. It is the kind of spot that reminds you just how much story is hidden away in the quietest corners of the coast.

We filmed our whole walk across the island and toured the historic abbey grounds for our channel so you can see these ancient stone crosses and historic sites up close. Watch our full journey here: https://youtu.be/ec6zztgxR04

Sitting right on a rocky point overlooking the water, Duart Castle has taken some serious beatings over the centuries and somehow lived to tell about it.
https://youtu.be/rvjr7ssHaUM

The MacLean clan took over the spot back in 1367 as part of a marriage dowry. They knew they had to defend it, so they built outer walls up to ten feet thick on the land side. Inside, they made the stone spiral staircases so narrow that a single defender could hold off an entire crowd of invaders. Over the generations, the place stood strong against rival clans, government forces, and even Oliver Cromwell’s fleet in the 1600s. Eventually, the Campbell clan tore much of it down in 1691, leaving the stones to sit in ruins for over two hundred years.

Most places would have stayed a pile of rubble forever. But in 1911, Sir Fitzroy MacLean bought back his family’s ruined home and rebuilt the entire structure piece by piece. Today, the clan chief still lives there and opens the doors to visitors. Walking through those tight stone halls makes you realise just how much grit it took for one family to reclaim their piece of island history.

Standing tall off the west coast of Scotland, the Isle of Mull is packed with wild beauty, ancient castles, and centuries of fascinating Scottish history.
https://youtu.be/rvjr7ssHaUM

One spot you cannot miss is Duart Castle, perched dramatically on a rocky cliff overlooking the Sound of Mull. Built back in the 13th century, it became the fierce stronghold of Clan Maclean. Walking through its thick stone walls and damp dungeons, you can almost hear the echoing footsteps of medieval clan chiefs and ancient warriors defending their turf.

Further down the coast sits the colourful harbour town of Tobermory. While famous today for its bright, pastel-painted houses, its bay holds a secret history. Legend has it that in 1588, a galleon from the Spanish Armada carrying millions in gold coins sank right in these waters! Treasure hunters have searched the bay for centuries, hoping to pull up lost silver and gold.

With waterfalls, stunning single-track roads, and white sandy beaches to explore. There is much to be explored, and we hope to give you just a taste of what you can expect from a visit to this stunning little island.

Is this Scotland’s most eccentric church? 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
https://youtu.be/2CdOZpR7qKQ

Built in the late 19th century by Walter Douglas Campbell, St Conan’s Kirk on the shores of Loch Awe wasn't designed by a traditional architect.

Walter originally built a small chapel simply because his elderly mother found travelling long distances to Sunday services too tiring. But then his imagination took over.

Over several decades, he combined almost every style imaginable:
• Saxon towers alongside Norman doorways
• Gothic flying buttresses next to a Celtic stone circle
• Oak beams salvaged from 19th-century wooden battleships
• A dedicated chapel containing a real fragment of bone from Robert the Bruce

Every corner was hand-carved by local craftsmen or gathered from historic sites. The result is a bizarre, breathtaking masterpiece standing right on the water’s edge 🏰

Are you ready to witness some iconic Scottish scenery as we drive in Scotland?
https://youtu.be/4KW6zdk3OnQ
Today we leave Orkney behind and hit the open road. Travelling through Scotland means tackling the scenic A82 and A85 routes between Glasgow and Oban, before hopping over to the Isle of Mull. Oban serves as the historic "Gateway to the Isles" and seafood hub of the West Highlands, where Clan MacDougall built strongholds like Dunollie Castle back in the 13th century. (We have a full tour of Oban in a few weeks).

The ferry ride ove to Mull is just gorgeous if you get the right weather and we had it! This trip sets the stage for two action-packed days on the Isle of Mull, featuring Tobermory, Iona, and Duart Castle and more, coming next week!

Enjoy our travel day adventure.
