‪New month, new theme & I’m looking at #TravelAtHome & the #UK – first up on #YorkshireDay is a picture of a pint ina rural pub as part of a walking holiday in Nidderdale. Day 213 of #365TravelPics‬

‪Some times people in the #UK travel to the Alps or Scandinavia for spectacular mountain walks. But this is #Yorkshire with challenging, inspiring hikes & views, proving #TravelAtHome can be excellent. Day 214 of #365TravelPics‬

‪Stretching across a #Yorkshire valley, the Ribblehead Viaduct is evidence of the industrialisation of the #UK and looks super at sunset. #TravelAtHome Day 215 of #365TravelPics‬

‪More from #Yorkshire and this is the view from Middlesmoor along Nidderdale. #UK #TravelAtHome Day 216 of #365TravelPics‬

‪A final picture from #Yorkshire #UK – this is from last spring, a walk past the church at Middlesmoor. #TravelAtHome Day 217 of #365TravelPics‬

‪Now to #Wales – I spent my teenage years here so am biased about its beauty! This is the Great Orme, a headland near Llandudno. #UK #TravelAtHome Day 218 of #365TravelPics‬

‪A winter walk in the Vale of Llangollen in #Wales – at once a little bleak but also beautiful. #UK #TravelAtHome Day 219 of #365TravelPics‬

‪This is the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct over the Llangollen valley in #Wales – added to the UNESCO world heritage list in 2009 & a source of local pride. #UK #TravelAtHome Day 220 of #365TravelPics‬

‪A winter sunset with the last, cold sunshine reflecting in the River Severn. #AutumnPics #WinterPics Day 314 of #365TravelPics‬

‪The North West of #England is both part of the industrial heartlands and full of natural beauty – like here north of Bury. UK #TravelAtHome Day 222 of #365TravelPics‬

‪In Bury, North West #England , is the old railway with heritage steam engines and a very fine trackside pub offering real ales. #UK #TravelAtHome Day 223 of #365TravelPics‬

‪Above #Edinburgh on a volcanic rock is its castle protecting the city below. #Scotland #UK #TravelAtHome Day 224 of #365TravelPics‬

‪Looking over central #Edinburgh and George IV Bridge – even in the damp it’s a pretty city. #Scotland #UK #TravelAtHome Day 225 of #365TravelPics‬

‪At every corner in #Edinburgh buildings show its varied history. This is on the road down to Grassmarket. #Scotland #UK #TravelAtHome Day 226 of #365TravelPics‬

‪A visit to the parliament made me understand #Edinburgh and #Scotland better. The free tour shared details of the design & democratic process here. #UK #TravelAtHome Day 227 of #365TravelPics‬

‪One last shot from #Edinburgh and the reason I visit regularly: the #EdFringe – this is one of the bigger venues, The Pleasance, getting ready for a new day. #Scotland #UK #TravelAtHome Day 228 of #365TravelPics‬

‪Next we head to Bath #England – rightly popular with tourists. This is Pulteney Bridge from the 18th Century. #UK #TravelAtHome Day 229 of #365TravelPics‬

‪A niche tweet but if passing through the Cotswolds & Cuddesdon then the Bishop Edward King Chapel at the college is a spectacular example of modern church architecture. #England #UK #TravelAtHome Day 230 of #365TravelPics‬

‪One of the most powerful sites for me in #England is Coventry Cathedral. Destroyed in World War 2, the ancient cathedral lies a ruin with the new cathedral next door as a symbol of hope, peace & rebirth. #UK #TravelAtHome Day 231 of #365TravelPics‬

‪Nottingham is in the East Midlands of #England and has been regenerated in recent years, like its Old Market Square. #UK #TravelAtHome Day 232 of #365TravelPics‬

‪Throughout #England are market towns where the church stands over the square, filled with a market on certain days & a collection of shops. Bury St Edmunds in Suffolk, East Anglia is typical. #UK #TravelAtHome Day 233 of #365TravelPics‬

‪Listen to Ed Sheeran? Well this is the Castle on the Hill he sings about. The Norman castle at Framlingham has become much better known recently! #Suffolk #England #UK #TravelAtHome Day 234 of #365TravelPics‬

‪There’s nothing like an afternoon in an English country garden! The Royal Horticultural Society’s Garden at Wisley is my favourite. #England #UK #TravelAtHome Day 235 of #365TravelPics‬

‪Street food is having a resurgence in the #UK – groups of small food sellers produce great food & entertainment in old shipping containers. There’s several sites in Manchester but this is #Croydon Boxpark. #TravelAtHome Day 236 of #365TravelPics‬

‪An iconic view of the #UK is the White Cliffs of Dover – marking the start or end of a journey. #TravelAtHome Image 237 of #365TravelPics‬

‪Trains travelling under the chan le often end up here: Kings Cross St Pancras Station in #London. #TravelAtHome – one of the most impressive stations. #UK Image 238 of #365TravelPics‬

‪One of my favourite buildings in #London is the National Theatre with its concrete architecture & great theatre. #TravelAtHome #UK Image 239 of #365TravelPics‬

‪Staying in #London and a historic site: Westminster Abbey where monarchs are crowned & great national events marked. Here it is decorated in the Lumière light shows. #TravelAtHome #UK Day 240 of #365TravelPics‬

‪The centre of #London acts as a backdrop to many national ceremonies: here are the flags up in Whitehall for the Centenary of the RAF. #TravelAtHome #UK Day 241 of #365TravelPics‬

‪It’s currently being restored but The Elizabeth Tower – better known as Big Ben – is one of the iconic images of #London as well as the #UK #TravelAtHome Day 242 of #365TravelPics‬

‪Last day of August & pics of #UK travel: thinking back to #London2012 when I saw the rehearsal of the Olympics Opening Ceremony & performed in the Paralympics Opening Ceremony. The rings & UK welcomed & came together. #TravelAtHome Day 243 of #365TravelPics‬
