My A to Z Travel Challenge – U is for United Kingdom – 🇬🇧

Continuing with my A to Z challenge of places I have been, where else but the UK for U as it is where I was born and lived for 30 years!

My featured image is of Mepal, a very cold winter’s sunset.

Starting off with Liverpool which is in the North of England. We did only manage one night there, because as usual on our trips back to the UK it was all about catching up with friends and relatives.

Liverpool

  • Looks enormous! just the angle
  • Ferry across the Mersea
  • “Help” spot the odd one out

Moving down to Mepal, which is very close to Ely

  • Our cute bed and breakfast
  • A murky morning in Mepal
Ely Cathedral
There is a very interesting history on the link above about the cathedral, founded by St. Etheldreda

Travelling to Essex, my hometown

Leigh on Sea, on the South East Coast of Essex
A cute little seaside town, full of pubs, cafes, craft and gift shops
The oldest pub in Leigh, dating back to 1850

Maldon, Essex

The second oldest town in England and famous for its sea salt. Full of colourful barges and pubs along the estuary, it’s a great place to while away an afternoon.
