About

Hey! I’m Amy, the heart behind Life Between the Trails. I’m a nature-loving, adventure-chasing mum of two feisty, fearless girls who’ve been raised on muddy boots, marshmallows by the fire, and endless exploring. Alongside my husband (the calm to our chaos) and our lovable beagle, we’re all about making memories outdoors.

Whether we’re hiking through forests, pitching our camper under the stars, kayaking across peaceful lakes, or diving into open water swims – if it gets us outside, we’re in. We’ve always made sure the girls grew up loving the outdoors, and now there’s no stopping them.

Getting our campervan has

opened the door to even more travel and freedom, from weekend escapes to sunny adventures abroad. But it’s not all wild trails – we also love a good family day out, exploring places of interest, and of course, finding that perfect pint and pub meal at the end of a long walk.

We’re here to share our adventures, recommend great spots, and hopefully inspire your own family journeys – wherever your trail takes you.

The endless to do list at work. The mental load that seems to follow us around wherever we go. So I packed up Belle and drove. I didn't really have a plan. I just knew I needed nature. I found myself drawn to Brereton Heath Nature Reserve. Usually when I go for a walk now, I make a conscious effort to notice. Learning about...

A Day at the Black Country Living Museum

Sometimes the best family days out are the ones where you unexpectedly step completely into another world for a few hours — and that is exactly what happened when we visited the Black Country Living Museum in Dudley. From cobbled streets and old-fashioned shops to vintage rides, silent films and school lessons from the past, it genuinely felt like walking through history. The children loved that they weren’t just looking at exhibits behind glass — they were fully immersed in it all. We were...
