Day Trip Ideas Courtesy Of London's Backyard

In Britain, it'd be easy to assume that once someone's in London, there's no need for them to go elsewhere for some fantastic sights and some great day trips. That couldn't be further from the truth with there being some terrific places to go for day trips within comfortable reach of The Big Smoke. Roving traveller Earl Steinbicker, previously known for his work with Waltzing Through Vienna has come up trumps again with London's Backyard, an app that aims to provide users with 25 one day adventures within a reasonable distance of London.

In each case, a suggested walking tour is provided along with various interactive maps, photos, suggestions for attractions that could be visited and some ever useful practical advice. Pretty much everything possible has been covered here ensuring that users have everything they could need in order to get the most out of each trip.

London's Backyard covers a fair amount of places ranging from the old fashioned seafront style town of Hastings to Winchester, Guildford, Canterbury and Dover. Each area is covered extensively ensuring that there's something of interest for all people. For instance, Colchester in Essex, North of London, is not only Britain's oldest record town with some extensive Celtic and Roman history to be seen, but it also offers a great zoo, popular with many people.

Less well known places such as the canal village of Stoke Bruerne and Woodstock in Oxfordshire are also examined ensuring that people can get away from the hustle and bustle of London easily, either via public transport or by car.

Many of these places might be familiar to British readers but I doubt they know a huge amount about them all making London's Backyard ideal for everone.

It's out now for all iOS devices, it's an universal app and it's a mere $2.99 which seems a good deal for over 3 weeks worth of daytrips!
