Today I was travelling in the north of England and discovered this beautiful place in Liverpool.
The Isla Gladstone is a major part of Liverpool's heritage and adds to the extensive collection of breath-taking buildings the city has to offer.
Originally built in 1870 as part of Edward Kemp's vision for Stanley Park to create an inner-city, versatile park space for the people of Liverpool, the beautiful glass structure became an iconic part of the impressive north Liverpool park. Less than a century later, the city and population had flourished, consuming the park and sadly leading to its neglect and ruin, the conservatory joining its demise. Despite several attempts to revive the rusty iron and broken glass remains of the conservatory, overrun by weeds, litter and graffiti, it wasn't until 2007 that the vision for the Isla Gladstone Conservatory truly came to life. The conservatory is named after the granddaughter-in-law of the Victorian Prime Minister William Gladstone. Isla married into the Gladstone family in the 1920s and after raising a family, began a career as a designer of fabrics and wallpaper. She studied in Liverpool and the conservatory is a monument not only to her, but to all the women of Liverpool.

Yesterday I visited Saltram House in Plymouth - an impressive manor house surrounded by a beautiful landscaped park. This magnificent 18th century estate, once the residence of the wealthy Parker family, is now owned by the National Trust and offers a fascinating insight into the life of the English aristocracy.

As soon as you enter the house, you feel transported back in time. The magnificent rooms are rich in ornate stucco ceilings, elegant furniture and an impressive art collection, including works by Joshua Reynolds. Particularly worth seeing are the large dining room with its opulent décor and the library, which invites you to dream with its high bookshelves.

But it's not just the interior of Saltram House that is worth a visit - the extensive gardens and parkland are just as enchanting. You can walk along the River Plym, stroll through the romantic garden or simply enjoy the tranquillity of the old trees.

A special highlight for visitors is the free guided tour, which provides exciting insights into the history of the house and its former residents. The stories about lavish parties, royal visits and daily life in such a manor house make the visit even more lively.

Saltram House is a real gem in Devon - a place full of elegance, history and nature, perfect for a relaxing day out!

Today I visited the charming town of Sherborne in North Dorset - a real gem with a rich history, impressive architecture and a welcoming atmosphere. From the first walk through the cobbled streets, you can feel the unique character of this place: historic houses made of golden hamstone, small independent shops and cosy cafés that invite you to linger.
The centrepiece of Sherborne is undoubtedly Sherborne Abbey, a masterpiece of Gothic architecture with stunning fan-vaulted ceilings and ornate stained glass windows. What is particularly impressive is that you can take part in a free guided tour, during which you will gain fascinating insights into the long history of the abbey - from its foundation as a Saxon monastery to its current role as a vibrant parish church.
In addition to the Abbey, there are two impressive castles: the medieval Old Sherborne Castle, which once belonged to Sir Walter Raleigh, and the magnificent Sherborne Castle, which was built by him in the 16th century. The extensive gardens offer marvellous walks with views of the picturesque lake.
Sherborne is a place where history comes alive and you immediately feel welcome - perfect for a relaxing day trip or even a longer stay. Once you've been here, you'll definitely want to come back!

Today we were allowed to have a look at the tower room in the Duke of Cornwall Hotel in Plymouth.
The Tower Room at the Duke of Cornwall Hotel is a real highlight!
- 360-degree view: The room is located in one of the hotel's towers and offers a breathtaking panoramic view of the city of Plymouth, the harbour and the surrounding coastline.
- Historic charm: With its unique architecture and charming Victorian details, you will feel transported back to the splendour of the 19th century.
- Romantic retreat: The tower room is particularly popular with couples as it creates a luxurious, private ambience and is ideal for special occasions thanks to the impressive view.
- Unique: No other room in the hotel is like this one - it is a real eye-catcher for anyone looking for something special. The rest of the hotel is also unique and takes you back to another era.
An overnight stay there is really not expensive and well worth a visit.

Blenheim Palace - history, elegance and Hollywood glamour
Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire, a masterpiece of English Baroque architecture and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, combines historical significance with breathtaking splendour. The palace, built in honour of the victory of John Churchill, 1st Duke of Marlborough, at the Battle of Blenheim, is also the birthplace of Winston Churchill. Surrounded by magnificent gardens designed by Capability Brown, Blenheim Palace offers not only history and nature, but also Hollywood flair - as the filming location for the hit series Bridgerton, it provided the perfect backdrop for opulent scenes. An absolute highlight for visitors!
