About us

Who are we to decide what makes somewhere WKNDR worthy? 

Well, for starters, we're professional travel writers - so finding a destination's pulse and connecting with its story is precisely what we do in day-to-day life. Our founder, James Litston, has written for most of the UK's national newspapers as well as a heap of magazines, both in Britain and internationally. Check out some of his archives here:

Our years of experience mean that we're plugged into quality and excellence, plus we know how to dig out the pertinent details that you, our readers, want to know. We can't have you going to somewhere lovely and having a crappy time, which is why we've pulled together these guides to make sure your weekend escapes are amazing. 

To research the weekend guides, we visit each place personally to find the best cup of coffee, the most authentic eateries and the classiest experiences that make each destination so special. We chat with local people so that we can share their insider tips; and we road test each recommended hotel to ensure they offer a brilliant night's sleep (not to mention a breakfast that's worth getting up for). As for our walks, we put best foot forward and map these out ourselves, which is why we know they're worth following for a memorable day out.
