Holidays in the UK
The UK is home to a plethora of holiday destinations for all tastes. Whether you’re a walker, swimmer, or foodie, there is so much to discover and enjoy across our diverse and beautiful country.
Beaches in the UK
The UK’s coastline is peppered with a breathtaking assortment of beaches, from quiet coves you can enjoy all to yourself to golden beaches with seaside towns offering ice creams and fish and chips at every turn. Famed for its beaches, the South West boasts a sweeping coastline full of fossils, dog-friendly havens, and some of the best surfing spots in the country. In Wales, Pembrokeshire’s sun-soaked coast offers some stunning landscapes to get lost in, while the northern coast promises castle-backed vistas and wild beaches full of wonder and waves. Boasting its own microclimate, the Isle of Wight is the place for sun-drenched beach days, while Sussex’s dramatic coastline promises a myriad of beaches beneath chalk-white cliffs. Get your daily dose of coastal inspiration with our live webcams, well-placed across the country to enjoy glistening sea views.
National Landscapes and Parks in the UK
The UK is home to some truly breathtaking backdrops, many of which have been designated National Landscapes and National Parks to preserve the natural beauty and biodiversity of the land. Step into chocolate-box scenes as you stroll through the undulating, honey-dipped charms of the Cotswolds or marvel at the heather-topped wilderness of the Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors. In Cornwall, around one-third of the county is a designated National Landscape, while the Lake District and Peak District promise mountainous National Parks full of grandeur and jaw-dropping walking trails. And not forgetting the incredible parks found in the Scottish Highlands, which boast shimmering lochs, towering peaks, and woodlands that paint the mountainsides in verdant strokes. Or, if it’s coastal adventures you’re seeking, head to Pembrokeshire Coast National Park for Blue Flag beaches and picturesque seaside villages full of colour. If you want to immerse yourself in the great outdoors, there’s nowhere better than the UK.
Things to do in the UK
With a rich history that spans millennia and stretches across the country in waves of ancient settlements, stones, and structures, the UK is a fascinating place to explore. From ruins that offer a peek into the past to impressive fortresses that look like they haven’t aged a day, the country’s castles offer an impressive backdrop to your travels (and many blockbuster films), while incredible natural landmarks show a glimpse at the country’s geological past, from the famous stacks in Sussex and the Isle of Wight to the dramatic rock formations at Cheddar Gorge in Somerset and Malham Cove in Yorkshire, and even the odd magical waterfall for good measure. Turning your gaze to the skies, visit one of the UK’s incredible Dark Skies Sites for a breathtaking celestial display. If you visit the North of England and Scotland, you might even catch a glimpse of the elusive Northern Lights. Crossing the country in a variety of trails, cycle paths offer the perfect way to explore the UK under your own pedal power, or you can hop on one of the many steam trains for a scenic ride through the countryside. If it’s the arts you’re interested in, the UK is home to a number of internationally-renowned music festivals, from Glastonbury to Boardmasters, as well as some of the best art galleries and museums in the world. Truly, a holiday in the UK has you covered whatever you fancy getting up to.
Places to eat in the UK
Where better to enjoy some homegrown food than, well, home! In the UK, coastlines dotted with fishing villages and countryside topped with rolling farmland ensure we dine on the very best food, whether from a local farm shop, at a beautiful Michelin star restaurant or a vibrant food festival jam-packed with mouthwatering stalls. Stop by a cosy pub with a roaring fire for a Sunday roast like no other or visit in the summer for sun-drenched gardens and orchard-fresh cider. For something even more relaxed, head to a charming café where cream teas and homemade cakes await - not to mention some seriously breathtaking sea views along the coast. With each county boasting its own famous foods, enjoying a foodie break in the UK is wonderfully easy - and exceptionally delicious!
