Megaliths, these monumental structures erected thousands of years ago, remain timeless enigmas, witnesses to a humanity that continues to challenge our understanding. more
The sea is a vast expanse, seemingly empty. This emptiness calms your body and mind. However, the sea is often unpredictable, shifting from exceptionally violent to remarkably tranquil or any temperament in between. more
At 354 km, the River Severn is Britain's longest river, winding its serpentine route from the hills of Plymlimon in Wales to the Bristol Channel, gathering countless tributaries along the way. more
