Olivia's Guide To The English Countryside
A countryside escape...
I recently spent a few days tucked away in the English countryside, and it was just as charming as you’d imagine. Slow mornings, garden paths, fresh air, and the kind of stillness that makes everything feel a little more meaningful. In this guide, I’m sharing a few of my favorite discoveries from the trip, including the places I explored and the little details that brought it all to life.
Let me know in the comments if there are any spots you think I should add to my list!
Oh, and be sure to check out the YouTube vlog from my trip – linked at the bottom!
