The old water mill in Borrowdale, also known as Coombe Gill Mill, is a hidden gem in the Lake District not too far from Keswick. A lot of landscape photographers refer to it as the “secret” water mill and it has been on my list of places to visit for quite some time. I finally...

I remember seeing an article online months ago about the subway system in Stockholm, Sweden and some of the amazing stations carved into the rock. We planned a mini break over the summer and I got the chance to visit quite a few of these stations which are truly awe inspiring. The Tunnelbana (metro) is...

I finally fulfilled one of my bucket list items when I got chance to charter a doors off helicopter flight over New York. We had planned to do this back in 2016 but for one reason or another, it didn’t happen. So, when we booked our trip this year, this was top of my list…....

Back in July, I had the chance to explore the abandoned parts of Euston underground station in London. This was a photography tour organised by the London Transport Museum and was a great opportunity to see another “ghost station” on the underground network.
