An isolated and atmospheric pebble beach with one of the most geologically impressive cliffs in the world. Lovely on a sunny day; awesome when it's stormy. Walk to the far end for total peace and quiet (but don't get cut off) then head to Crackington for lunch.

On the singletrack road between Widemouth Bay and Crackington Haven. From the viewpoint south of Widemouth Bay drive down 30% incline to the valley bottom where there is space for a few cars.

Venice is magical, there's no denying it, but space on the main islands is at a premium and therefore accommodation tends to be very pricey. On our last visit we chose to stay on the island of Murano, and rented an apartment from a local there. It cost us less than £30 per night (for the apt, not per person!) and it was fabulous. For a start, the vaporettos (water buses) run all night, and it only takes 15 mins to get to Venice on the boat, on the most beautiful route you could imagine, past the stunning cemetery island. Secondly, although it is home to plenty of tourists during the daytime, (visiting the glass factories), they are absent in the morning and evening, and you really feel like a member of the local community. There are lovely grocery shops, a supermarket, and a fruit boat - to buy all your fresh food. And there are some great local restaurants to eat in should you not feel like venturing over onto mainland Venice for dinner. It's also really easy to get to from either airport, as the boats run straight there from Piazzale Roma. It's the perfect counterpoint to the chaos of Venice's main islands. Finally, it's also closer to Burano, the beautiful island nearby, which is home of the amazing restaurant Il Gatto Nero. Do it. You won't regret it.

Murano next to venice - go hunting on google, you'll find accomodation!

It's the most sparsely populated of the three departments. Its beautiful rolling countryside is likened to the English Lake District. You can hire a car before you travel, pick it up at Limoges airport and tour round.

It's so peaceful and even around the tourist attractions such as the Lac de la Vassivière, you won't get any traffic congestion or hold ups - in fact, you'll wonder where everyone is!

Central France, one of the three departments of the Limousin.

The Palatine Hill is next to the Roman Forum in central Rome. Access is via the Forum but most people tend to bypass it due to the 8 euro (approx) entry fee. But it is well worth it especially in high season when the forum is heaving to breaking point with tired tour guides shouting over each other about 'interesting' ancient Rome stories.

The Palantine Hill is quiet by comparison and the ruins are set amongst pleasant settings. Being away from the crowds allows for a more authentic picture of ancient Rome with some buildings in tact. Great for an early evening stroll (check opening times!!)

A place to be alone, bar a couple of fishermen, with your thoughts. As the sun sets, its orangey light setting off the majestic honey hued walls of the city.

Go down the steps by the Mediterranean Conference Centre (once the Knights' "Sacra Infermeria")

This is a beatiful walk along one of the sides of Södermalm. Very popular with locals but tourists don't find their way here.

Exit tube station Hornstull and take the closest way down to the water. When you are down there you should have where you came from behind you, big lawn to your left and the water to your right. Start walking and escape the noises from the city above. Perfect for contemplation or picnic. You can walk along until you come to the big Skanstull bridge, there you can walk up to your left and you are back in the hectic city agailn.

Tube station: Hornstull.
