We headed up north to the county of Northumberland, situated in the North East of England. Our trip lasted 4 days and each day was started with a very early morning hike with the reward of a waterfall at the end of it. I personally think that every day should start like this, alas we, living in the South East of England, don’t really have waterfalls at all.
We love Scotland because you can drive for hours without seeing a single car and never get bored of the scenery. The people are friendly, the whisky is outstanding and the landscapes are stunning. So here are 12 reasons to add Scotland to your bucket list.
The Highlands is a historic region in Scotland. With dramatic landscapes around every corner, incredible history and monumental mountains, it’s no wonder that Scotland is one of our favourite destination. With the notorious rainfall, Scotland is packed with a countless number of incredible waterfalls.

The Island of Skye is situated off the West Coast of mainland Scotland. It’s the largest and best known of the Inner Hebrides. It’s also like no other place we’ve ever seen before!

These are 7 of our favourite places to visit!
The Bay of Fundy is a body of water famously known for having the highest tides in the world. Each day, twice a day, over 160 billion tons of seawater flows in and out of the bay. Every 12 hours footprints you’d left in the sand are covered with a tidal range that can be as high as 50 feet (15 metres). Listed in the Guinness Book of World Records for the highest average tides, this natural phenomenon can only be seen right here on the Bay of Fundy.
The “City of Rocks” or “ Tiské Stény” in Czech, is a natural landmark and tourist attraction in the western region of Bohemian Switzerland. Narrow walkways lead to steep staircases which take you to a system of vertical crevices and a dense network of rocks. These sandstone pillars are as tall as 30 metres high and stand out from the dense forest surrounding them.
With miles of scenic trails through lush woodlands, island-dotted lakes and gently rolling landscapes, Keji is the perfect place for outdoor lovers. Learn about the Mi’kmaq culture, immerse yourself in the flora and fauna and camp under the stars in Nova Scotia’s only Dark Sky Preserve. It’s here in Keji that you can connect with not only nature but also culture and be drawn into the beauty the park has to offer.
