Here you'll find a random selection of places I've been to and enjoyed within the UK - at least the ones I've got round to writing up: I have about 600Mb of digital pictures still to work through, and of course I haven't stopped taking them.
I started with the Mizmaze, after all these years still a place that's very special for me and which can now be reached on foot from Winchester. Recently, I added details of a long circular walk from the rail station, taking in both Arethusa's Clump and St Catherine's Hill. This later inspired a similar type of walk, through different terrain, from Oxford station to Binsey and Godstow.
Minstead village is also somewhere with which I have had a long-standing love affair. Other local places that I've discovered more recently are the Deverill villages, and a great, if somewhat difficult, walk along the Dorset Cursus.
Close to where I used to work is Westminster Cathedral, and I photographed the chapel where there was an image of Our Lady of Guadalupe. Later, after the events of 11 September 2001, I went back to the Chapel of Holy Souls.
My mother lived in Leadenham, where the whole village spent a lot of time raising money for a new village hall. The Lottery Commission gave them a chunk of money, but when some of the matching funding failed to materialise, the village (population about 500) just shrugged and knuckled down and raised some more. The opening was a very special occasion.

Christchurch, Lymington and Buckler's Hard are on my regular stamping ground. These pictures are location-hunting for a novel by one of my favourite authors, Rosemary Edghill. Met by Moonlight arrived in the post just before I went on a narrow-boat trip. I devoured it, and on the way back was struck by the fact that Christchurch (which Rosemary picked from a gazetteer had once been in Hampshire. The rest was a foregone conclusion.
I used to work in London, and before I left I photographed three London churches. Of those, Willesden is a sort of partner-piece to Walsingham which we've visited a couple of times. Note that some links in that section are currently dead. I know, I'll fix them soon and don't need any more emails. At the same time I visited Arundel for the Corpus Christi procession. This year I finally got around to writing it up.
What of my home city? I've photographed the old town walls several times, but it was looking for a well that has vanished that finally prompted me to write up a short walk to 'Pylgersput'.
