The Woman That Walks

Wheathampstead Heritage - Devil's Dyke and Normansland Trail

Wheathampstead, a village located north of St Albans in Hertfordshire, has several heritage trails in the area. I had some free time late on Sunday afternoon, so I walked the Devil's Dyke and Normansland Trail before heading out to dinner!

Devil's Dyke is the remains of a prehistoric defensive ditch which lies at the east side of the village. It is generally agreed to have been part of the defences of an Iron Age settlement belonging to the Catuvellauni tribe of Ancient Britain and was possibly used during the resistance of Julius Caesar's second invasion of Britain (54 BC). Fifteen metres deep, forty metres wide and 460 metres long, digging the Dyke by hand must have been a considerable challenge for the people who lived here over 2000 years ago.

I found the trail at www.wheathampstedheritage.org.uk where there are other suggested walks in the area.

Perfect day - Walking trails with views of some of the Algarve’s most famous landmarks and chilling at the pool

Close to my hotel I was spoilt with the fantastic scenes of the golden rock formations near Praia do Camilo, and further along, Ponta da Piedade. I waked here during my last visit but I like this area so much that I decided to stay in the vicinity again. It great for both easy short walks and long hikes, sunrises and sunsets, watersports and the local town, Lagos, has lots going on.

Catching a breezy goldenhour on the west coast of Portugal🔆
Beautiful scenery between Praia da Águia and Praia do Castelejo, Algarve.

This was my first visit to the west coast of the country, and I was not disappointed. It's definitely not like the holiday crowds in the south, but popular with locals and some visitors touring the country. Much busier during the day for the surfing, but now was the most peaceful.

Staying not far from the west coast for a few nights, I've enjoyed my first class sunset seats! This one from after walking at Praia do Amado, in the Vincentine Coast National Park.

There are numerous hiking trails leading to and around Amado beach, giving a great mixture of dry countryside and beautifully sandy beaches. For watersports lovers, this area is very popular for surfing.
