Hiking in Wye, Kent, England

Hiking in Wye, Kent, England

Life in London undoubtedly comes with numerous perks of a big city, but it proves quite strong in opportunities to get close to the nature too, with plenty good walking spots all around the metropolis. That being said, there are times when I crave a proper hiking experience – or at least one that resembles a hike to some degree. There aren’t any proper mountain ranges close enough to London to go on a day trip, but I have managed to find a few places where I can challenge my legs by going uphill and enjoy beautiful views from a hilltop. One of those spots was near a small village called Wye, placed in the heart of Kent.

A Long Weekend In Hastings

A Long Weekend In Hastings

In June 2022, the UK enjoyed a four-day long weekend to celebrate the late Queen Elizabeth’s 70th reign anniversary. London was going to host a range of events, and Britons from across the country would flock to the capital to take part in the celebrations.

As fantastic an occasion as it was, I wasn’t looking forward to the city being blocked for four days straight and decided to use it as an opportunity to go on a little holiday!
