Northern island hopping
Cumbria is famous for its lakes and rugged mountains, which bring visitors flocking to the area.
Despite being a coastal county, its seaside is usually overshadowed by the Lake District.
The Furness Peninsula is dominated by the industrial town of Barrow, but also has unspoilt coasts and islands.
This little expedition was a revelation. If you’re heading to the lakes, consider a little detour.

Another gorgeous part of the world (and another I have yet to visit!). I’m sure he’s not impressed at being cast as an ‘Abandoned Hulk’! What’s the Needle all about? Just a folly or something more meaningful?

Hahahaha! It wasn’t intentional, honest :) The Needle was apparently a lighthouse from the 1790s. I think it’s largely decorative now.

Well it’s definitely decorative. It’s unusual, which draws me to it even more! :) (The lighthouse, I hasten to add!)

I’m sure it’s been photographed a million times over. But it’s easy to see why :)
