At first sight, Bad Schandau doesn't have the same pretty, slightly spooky, charm of some other olde worlde towns in Saxon Switzerland- one of Germany's lesser known mountain-strewn national parks.

There's no denying that Port Isaac is special. Its slate-roofed cottages are nestled around a tiny fishing harbour on the north coast of Cornwall, where boats arrive with their catches in the early morning and children hunt in rock pools for crabs, amongst thick ribbony seaweed.
