Mauk Donnabhain blogs

In 2009, I decided to go on a ‘learning journey’ around the world, taking in 40 different places. I continued blogging until 2015. I read books by their most famous authors, watched movies, listened to music, and cooked at least one of their most famous dishes.

To date (September 2025) more than 427,000 people from 186 countries have visited Learning About the World – to find out more, click on the following link:

In July 2010, I came up with a crazy idea of getting to know Britain better by visiting every major town/city ending in -caster, -cester and -chester.

I thought that this might lead to some random trips to parts of Britain that I’d never been to before, and what started off as a crazy idea led to 8 years of visiting and blogging about 51 ‘Chesters’

To date my Walking the Chesters blog has been visited more than 79,000 times by people in 86 countries. If you’d like to experience the Chesters of Britain, click on the link below:
