If waterfalls had souls, St. Nectan’s Glen would be an old one. Tucked away in a deep, wooded valley near Tintagel, Cornwall — the legendary land of King Arthur — lies a forest glade that hums with something ancient. Here, a narrow trail leads you not just through nature, but into a realm where Celtic legend, quiet prayer, and elemental beauty intertwine.

When you think of paradise, chances are your mind drifts to powdery white beaches, turquoise lagoons, and towering limestone cliffs rising straight from the sea. Welcome to the Phi Phi Islands — a sun-drenched archipelago off the coast of Krabi that’s famous for its jaw-dropping beauty and for starring in one of the most iconic travel films ever: The Beach.
