No filter needed. 🥰🍂🍁 Beautiful #mansands at #sunset in November - #nofilterneeded! #hikingadventures #southwestcoastpath A well-reflected heron. 😉 Wonderful visit to #agathachristie’s #summerhouse #greenwayhouse by the #riverdart in #brixham, #devon. Interestingly, in #tudor times, the house was owned by Otho Gilbert, whose widow Katherine remarried and became the mother of #sirwalterraleigh. His half brother John Gilbert inherited #greenway and #walterraleigh is known to have stayed there several times. If you want to see more of the property, I highly recommend watching the ITV #poirot episode #deadmansfolly, which was filmed here - starring Greenway, the brilliant #zoewanamaker as #ariadneoliver and the always marvellous #davidsuchet as the Belgian #supersleuth himself, of course. A big thank you to the staff who were not only very knowledgeable but also so friendly and accommodating! I will definitely be back! #nationaltrust #tudortimes #queenofcrime #missmarple #torquay #galmpton #devonshire #murdermysteries #agathachristiefan #author #crimewriter #bestsellingauthor #whodunnit #mysteries Hike from #riomaggiore to #manarola, shuttle bus up to #volastra and hike to #corniglia. What a perfect day. #cinqueterre #cinqueterreitaly #hikingitaly #hikingtiktok #hikingadventure #hikingday #trekkingitalia #liguria #liguriaitaly #visititaly #visitcinqueterre #visitliguria #trekkingliguria #cinqueterrenationalpark #bellaitalia #hikingholiday Here’s a tiny fraction of the many highlights from our day trip to #firenze / #florence. 🥰🇮🇹 Hike in #cinqueterreitaly from #monterossoalmare via #vernazza, where I went for a swim, and onwards to #corniglia. Amazing weather and spectacular views. Exploring beautiful #Pisa last week! We hired scooters and were met with this fantastic sight as we scooted into the #piazzadeimiracoli. I managed to suppress my #fearofheights and climbed almost to the top of the famous #leaningtowerofpisa (couldn’t face going all the way up to the bell!), then we explored the #cattedraledipisa (#ilduomo). The #baptistry was sadly closed. We also watched the sunset over the river #arno and found the time to have a piece of pizza in a piazza in Pisa! 😂 #boattrip from beautiful #monterosso via #vernazza, #corniglia and #manarola to #riomaggiore today. 😊 #cinqueterre #5terre #cinqueterrenationalpark #cinqueterreboattour #liguria #italy #italia #bellaitalia #liguriancoast #golfodeipoeti #golfodigenova #nofilterneeded
