England is more than just London! St Michael's Mount at Penzance Since the recent events with Brexit, England has put itself under some scrutiny, or at least some international spotlight. But still, what are some things that come to mind about England? Football. Fish and Chips. Her Majesty the Queen. Their indecipherable accents. What about places in England? London. Liverpool. Manchester. Scotland? Oh, Scotland is another country altogether. Truth be told, I did not think much of England as a travel destination. So much of what I know about England's cities was from football, and the rest of its stereotypes from the telly. To someone as ignorant as me, my impression of England as a country is homologous to the city of London. I've never wondered what else lies outside this cosmopolitan titan until I had to make a three week trip out of London. And I have to say I was pleasantly surprised every step of the way! Brecon Beacons in Wales I kicked off the trip at Cardiff, Wales, to experience a little bit of Welsh culture. It proved to be well worth it after a hike to Brecon Beacons. Then on to England proper. In Bath, it was a lovely place to stroll around the city and the free walking tour is a great way to learn about the city. Onto Penzance, I had an excellent time exploring several places in its periphery. The trip to the coast complemented by the perfect weather made this place my favourite in England! Finally, I ended off by visiting friends whom I've met on the road more than half a year ago in Plymouth and Brighton.In this episode, I will be sharing my trip around England and a pinch of Wales. Hope you enjoy it! If you do, tell your friends! Cheers. Relaxing around druid stones in Penzance

John McCarthy talks to adventurer Jock Wishart about his recent expedition rowing to the North Pole. He and his team were the first to achieve this feat made possible this year by global warming melting the ice. They were under threat from polar bears and crushing ice floes and had to return before the sea froze over again. John also meets novelist Jo Baker whose stay in Malta led to the discovery of her family's First World War connection with the island. And Peter Caton who has visited all of Britain's tidal islands tells John about the variety of history and landscape of these fascinating places isolated from the mainland at high tide. The best known are Lindisfarne and St Michael's Mount but there are many others from the Thames to the Highlands. Producer: Harry Parker.
