On one of our trips to England my husband and I discover the South West Coast Path. Life has never been the same.

After that first hike, we set the goal to walk the entire 630-mile trail. Ten years later we're still working on it. (What can I say, we get tired, we get hungry.) While we walk the path we live an English life: villages, cream teas, thatched cottages, pubs, cider, castles, shopping in quaint little shops, and heart-stopping breathtaking scenery—-all in a section of the UK few Americans know about.

We don’t use a car: we take buses and trains. We don’t stay at hotels: we rent little cottages whenever we can. 

We don’t eat at fancy restaurants: we pack lunches for the trail and seek local food and pubs, including quite a bit of fish & chips (we’re on the coast after all) and an alarming number of cream teas (we're in England after all). Not to mention quite frequent doses of Rattler Cyder and Tanqueray Sevilla Orange gin.​

This website shares our journeys into this extraordinary life.

Hopefully, these pages will inspire people to Get. Out. Of. London. and explore England's quaint villages——cozy pubs, scenic streets, ancient churches, gracious manor homes, bursting flower beds, and English cottages. ​
