The plastic tunnel linking a Sainsbury’s store in Bude, Cornwall, to its car park has been thrilling visitors this year after unexpectedly topping TripAdvisor’s list of things to do in the seaside town.

East Fremont is redeveloped into the city's hipster heartland.

What timing, that as Dublin’s accommodation shortage rolls on and keeps hotel prices in the city centre high, the leafy neighbourhood of Ranelagh has found its own centre of gravity. It has a vibe similar to Notting Hill, with some of Dublin’s better restaurants and bars and a young, slightly-posh local crowd frequenting them – and now it has a hotel. It’s surprising that The Devlin is the first one in the area, but it’s worth the wait. Fitting in...

It looks like we are getting closer to understanding what the impact of Brexit will be but many people in the UK are already looking at their options for living outside of the UK. Figures published by the bbc.co.uk earlier this year showed that the number of EU nationals leaving the UK is at the highest it has been in a decade. People working across a wide range of industries are predicting that Brexit is not going to work out...

Only last week us weary British travellers were told that there will be a 3.1 per cent hike in the price of rail travel from the New Year. So you can stand in a packed carriage, under someone’s armpit, before it breaks down between stations, for an extra fee. We are lucky aren't we?

Thinking of escaping the 'rat race'? Then you can't get much further than this ...a remote hotel in Greenland which is 500-miles from anywhere. The settlement of Ittoqqortoormiit in East Greenland has a buzzing population – of 450 people – and the odd polar bear. It takes three flights and a helicopter ride to travel the 1,486 miles from London and frequently posts temperatures below 20 degrees Celsius, making it one of the coldest places on earth. However, the tiny...

Christmas doesn’t require snow, cold and tons of warm clothes. In fact, you can enjoy this holiday more under the Caribbean sun. Christmas carols, pudding and trifle wine are great, of course… But how does laying down in the beach mid-December while drinking a mojito sound? Undoubtedly, the atmosphere of the Caribbean winter is the perfect setting for a memorable Christmas break. And that is the reason why every year, more and more people decide to leave behind the typical...
