7 soulful places to visit around Morecambe Bay #followpye #lancashire #cumbria

July 20, 2020 by Zoe Dawes No Comments
Morecambe Bay on the west coast of Lancashire is a treasure trove of unsung sights that delight all the senses. I’ve lived here over 20 years and am still discovering new places to visit. It’s less-known than its neighbours the Lake District World Heritage Site and Yorkshire, so you’re able...

Sunset by the pool at Aghios Stephanos, Corfu

October 13, 2019 by Zoe Dawes 3 Comments
The sunset is luminously peaceful, the water of the pool reflecting the umbrellas, sunloungers, tables and chairs now empty as guests get ready for dinner. But they are missing one of nature’s most beautiful shows, as the sun sinks slowly behind the dusky islands outlined across the sea, which is...

FINDING HAPPINESS under an olive tree beside ancient ruins at Talati de Dalt, Menorca

August 25, 2019 by Zoe Dawes 5 Comments
A slight breeze ruffles the silvery-grey olive leaves. A bird calls high above. In the distance a goat bleats and the sun beats down onto a scene unchanged for hundreds of years. A giant T-shaped stone stands in the middle of a circled stone wall, another T-stone leans tipsily against...

Fish Festival fun and other things to do at Milford Waterfront, Pembrokeshire

August 2, 2019 by Zoe Dawes 6 Comments
The giant lobster towered over me, its huge red claws wafting in the breeze. A man in a top hat waved to the people gathered round, then trundled off with his cart, pulling his inflatable crustacean through the crowds. I was at Milford Waterfront Fish Festival, in Milford Haven, Pembrokeshire...

Around Morecambe Bay: Piel Island off the Cumbria Coast #followpye

July 17, 2019 by Zoe Dawes 3 Comments
Stepping on to Piel Island is to take a trip back in time in the most unexpected way. This tiny speck off the coast of Barrow-in-Furness in south Cumbria, is a microcosm of all that is special about Morecambe Bay. It’s got ancient history, abundant bird-life, friendly people, great views...
