I loved visiting Shaws corner on one of our glorious hot day, it was quite small but very cute. George Bernard Shaw lived here with his wife Charlotte from 1906 until his death in 1950.The Property, designed in the Arts and Crafts style retains many original personal items including his Nobel award certificate and Oscar as well as photos, clothes and even down to a set of false teeth. The guide told me so much about the house and showed my how even the clocks in the downstairs room he died in had been set to his time of death. You can also see his Writing Hut in the garden, which he nicknamed London, where Shaw wrote many of his major works. #shawscorner #georgebernardshaw #nationaltrust #hertfordshire

One of the free walks you can do at Knepp. I went on one of the shorter walks as i didn’t have too much time before the safari started. I went on the walk to see the
The medieval Knepp Castle (sometimes referred to as 'Old Knepp Castle', to distinguish it from the nearby 19th-century mansion). The castle was probably founded by the Braose family in the 12th century. King John confiscated the castle along with the Braose lands in 1208. Knepp was used as a hunting lodge, and John visited the castle several times. He ordered its destruction in both 1215 and 1216 during the First Barons' War.

To get to it i had to walk through a field full of horned cows lol. I made sure to tell them all I didn’t eat meat 😅

Knepp is a rewilding project in West Sussex that has been encouraging rare British wild life back. Based on a 3,500 acre estate, the land at Knepp was not conducive to modern intensive farming and despite the owner Charlie Burrell trying to make it profitable for 17 years it did not work. In 2000 he sold his machinery to clear debts when moment of epiphany came to turn it into a rewilding project. In 2001 Knepp received Countryside Stewardship funding to restore the Repton park in the middle of the Estate. It took years for the idea to be wholeheartedly supported by government but in 2010 the Knepp Wildland project received Higher Level Stewardship funding. It is now a leading light in the conservation movement, an experiment that has produced astonishing wildlife successes in a relatively short space of time.

I went on a short walk, had a coffee at their cafe and also did their sunset landcruiser safari. The best part was definitely seeing the storks! There is significant evidence to show that white storks were once a breeding bird in Britain, Knepp began a breeding project which has been very successful. White storks like living in close proximity to people, building their large shaggy nests on roofs and church towers. In Europe they are so beloved and considered a sign of good luck, that people erect cartwheels on their roofs to attract them.

The Eas Mòr Walk on the Isle of Arran is an easy, short woodland trail near Kildonan on the south end of the island. The trail is around 1 to 2 miles long and features viewing platforms overlooking the dramatic Eas Mòr waterfall and Pladda lighthouse. The trail also leads to a hidden turf-roofed eco-cabin known as the Eas Mòr Library where you can draw or write something to leave behind and add to the cabin which, is absolutely full of visitors artwork, manifestations, memorials and memories. #easmor #eas #isleofarran #arran #scotland
