A visit to the Hellfire Club – West Wycombe park and church
... countryside – or as a Gothic exploration of Satanism and weirdness. Or both! Definitely recommended as one of the strangest and most fun day trips you can have out of London.

How much: £3.30 for park only, £6.60 including the house – reduced rate if you come by public transport

Kwakoe Festival: Hidden Treasures in Amsterdam Bijlmer.
Elegant bums in tight jeans rub against frills and ruches of traditional Suriname dresses. The Elegant Bum observes the scene from behind her large, round sunglasses. her stiletto heels sink deep into the grassy soil.

Zandvoort beach is a sweeping stretch of golden sand. Gentle waves rippled across newly-built sand castles while the flirtatious laughter of a group of teenagers blended with the noice of a bickering couple, each blaming the other for spilling the coffee. In the foreground, an angelic little girl ran to the wrong mother.
I set off for a walk down the long beach, leaving behind the children with their buckets and spades, the mothers lounging in the sun and the fathers reading their newspapers.

If you’re looking for a great day trip getaway, look no further than the wonderfully preserved medieval town of Rothenburg ob der Tauber. Rothenburg o.b.
