Steall Waterfall (also known as An Steall Bàn) is the second highest waterfall in Scotland. It can be found in Glen Nevis, not far from Ben Nevis in the Highlands of Scotland. In fact, the first time we hiked to Steall Falls we did so because Ben Nevis, the highest...
The Falls of Glomach are simply magnificent. At 113 meters high they form the third highest waterfall in the UK and the sight, not to mention the sound, of all that water crashing down is spectacular. But….the falls of Glomach are miles from anywhere in the...
Sandwood Bay on the North West Coast of Scotland is one of the most beautiful beaches in the whole of Great Britain. However, it does require some effort to reach this remote beach! There is no road in so you have to get there under your own steam. Is Sandwood Bay...
The Merrick – have you heard of it? Perhaps not. When people think of Scottish mountains they usually think of Ben Nevis and the Cairngorms. However, The Merrick is a Scottish mountain and, in fact, is the highest mountain in the southern uplands of Scotland....
Several words come to mind to describe what it is like in Shetland: remote, beautiful and rugged are just some words frequently associated with these Scottish islands. I have also heard Shetland described as featureless, boring and cold! We enjoyed Shetland enormously...
Our recent hike up Lochnagar turned into one of the best hikes we have tackled in Scotland. The fabulous weather with which we were blessed certainly went some way towards cementing this view, but the landscape around Lochnagar would be spectacular in any conditions....
Hello! I’m Jane. I live in the Lake District in the north of England with my husband, Peter. We love to travel, but this is a great place to call home.
I started this blog as a sort of journal and a way to let family and friends follow our travelling adventures. However, it gained a little traction online and now I find myself writing for a wider audience, trying to create articles that are helpful and informative to fellow travellers.
Everything I write is based on personal experience. I do not write about places I have not visited. All photos are taken by me (or occasionally Peter or someone to whom I have passed my phone if you see a pic of the two of us). I do not edit photos in any way other than to compress in order that the site loads quickly. Basically, what you see is what you get. If a place is crowded, the crowds are in the photo; if the weather is grey, it is grey in the photo; if there is scaffolding on a building, there is scaffolding in my photo. You get the picture!
Please subscribe to the blog. You will only receive an email with updates about twice a year. I would love to have your feedback and hear about your experiences.
Thank you!

I have always made a point of never accepting guest posts on AbFabTravels, but I have just made an exception! My daughter Beth is currently on a sabbatical and travelling the world. She has agreed to contribute a few articles, giving a young person’s perspective and insights into a different way of travelling. She is a fantastic writer so please check out her posts.
Meet Jasper, our border collie!
Jasper is our lockdown pup! You will see him in many of the posts, especially those about the Lake District where we live, or those where we are travelling in our motorhome. He is very friendly and needs a lot of exercise so we are always out and about with him. If we are travelling further afield, he stays at home with family.
