On my way to and from Arundel Wetland Centre I passed by Swanbourne Lake. I decided to pop in for a look on the way back but knew I wouldn’t have very long to explore as it was already quite late in the afternoon.

For my last full day in Arundel I knew that I wanted to spend my time exploring the Arundel Wetland Centre. It’s an easy walk from the town centre – simply walk by the entrance to the castle and continue all the way down the street, over a bridge then continue until you see the entrance on the right – it takes maybe 15 to 20 minutes. Do note that part of the route has no pavement but it’s a wide track and easy to navigate safely. There is of course a car park if you’re driving.

Whenever I’m near the sea I’m reminded how much I love it and that I don’t visit the coast nearly often enough. On this trip I decided to go on one of the local sightseeing cruises which are recommended on pretty much every “things to do in Conwy” list. It’s not really an activity you can book in advance, being reliant on weather and tides etc. but if you go down to the quayside you can see in the morning what sailings are going to be undertaken that day.

We enjoyed our first trip to Wicken Fen so much that we decided to make a return trip. It is one of the first properties that the National Trust took on, in 1899, and is host to over 9,000 species of wildlife.

Finding myself with a few hours to spare and needing a sit down after a long day of walking I decided to try one of the many fjord sightseeing tours available in Oslo harbour; the one I chose was a two hour round trip, which I think is plenty of time to admire the scenery of the fjord.
