For the Love of the British Isles: SWAFFHAM

Recently featured in the hit TV series, Kingdom, and childhood home of the Egyptologist, Howard Carter, Swaffham is no ordinary Norfolk town. It has a wonderful buzz, particularly on Saturdays when the weekly market is in full swing. With its beautiful Georgian buildings and magnificent church, plus the stunning countryside of The Brecks just on the doorstep, Swaffham is a great place to visit.

Only in Norfolk, could you see a circular 'market cross' standing in the middle of a triangular 'market square'! The market cross cost £400 when it was built in 1783.

For the Love of the British Isles

The one thing I love, is riding my motorcycles around the beautiful British Isles. This is a collection of some of the places I've been, and seen.

These small islands are an entire library of different geographies, history back to the dawn of time, and some of the most beautiful places in the world.

The pages are split into counties and two or three of the largest cities, and will be updated by me, whenever I come back from my travels.

Please take the time to explore them, as I myself explore the real thing. Oh, and don't imagine all of the posts will be about well-known places. I like the unusual and the obscure.

I hope you enjoy them!
