Is staying in a real Castle on your bucket list? How about a Tudor Castle in England, owned and visited by the UK’s most fascinating monarch, King Henry VIII?

Britain is blessed with many historic Castles in beautiful surroundings. Although there are many castles in England which you can visit, there are very few Castle Hotels. We discovered one close to where we lived, and we didn’t have to pay a King’s ransom to spend the night; Thornbury Castle in South Gloucestershire.

Thornbury Castle is a 500 year old luxurious Castle Hotel. Built in the 1500’s, King Henry VIII owned this castle and stayed for 10 days with his wife, the fated Anne Boleyn, on their honeymoon tour in 1535, and yes you can stay in the same room as King Henry VIII.
​
We booked a night here for Sy’s birthday, but did it live up to its expectations? Did we feel like Royalty when we stayed at Thornbury Castle, and what’s it like to walk in the footsteps of Kings and Queens?

Feet Do Travel reveal what it’s like to stay in a real Tudor Castle Hotel.

Wimbledon, strawberries and cream and British music festivals are some of the things people typically think of when they hear the words 'British summer time'. However, at eatdrinkseek.co.uk, we feel that along with music festivals, food and wine festivals should be added to the list of things which make up a typical British summer.

If you have never visited one of the many food festivals held up and down the country, then we would encourage you to change that in 2018. To help you choose from literally hundreds of events, we have put together a list of what we feel are 5 of the very best food festivals.

Are you ready for some good food inspiration?

On a crisp Autumn day, my friend and I took a day trip to London with one purpose – to tick off three of my very own bucket list items!

Before we left the UK for good, I wanted one more chance to visit my country’s capital. There are so many things to do in London, and as a UK resident, I had done most of them over the years. There are still more London attractions that I have yet to see, but on this particular day, I was excited to tick off three. How did I choose to spend my time in London for my final visit, before travelling the world for good?
​
The question is, are any of these London bucket list items on your list?

What do you think of when someone mentions Nottingham City?

Maybe you think about the Robin Hood saga and the Sheriff of Nottingham. Perhaps you know it has the oldest Inn AND one of the oldest trees in England? Maybe it’s neither of these things – but you should definitely try and visit, and do so during Summer as there is a wonderful surprise; a purpose built beach with eateries, amusement park rides, a bar and music – something for the whole family!

We visited Nottingham for my birthday, but how did Feet Do Travel spend a beautiful sunny summer Bank Holiday in the historic City of Nottingham?

I was born and grew up in Bristol but moved to Gloucester fifteen years ago, however from time to time, I am still drawn to my hometown and like to try new things as a “foreigner”.

​In the run up to leaving the UK to begin my nomadic lifestyle, I decided to visit a couple of places I had wanted to see but hadn’t quite yet ventured to.

But where is Bristol and what did I want to visit?
