Whether you’re travelling for a romantic getaway, or you’ve come for a family holiday, we’ve listed some of the best places for you.

The Peak District


In the Peak District, you can visit some breathtaking views. There are three main landscapes to visit in this location, including the Dark Peak, the White Peak and South West Park. All these destinations have some great qualities, including woodland walks, moorland walks and meadowed walks with great history.

The Scottish Highlands


The Scottish highlands are truly the perfect place to relax and enjoy the greenery and fresh countryside air. You can visit the legendary Loch Ness, great Ben Nevis and Eilean Donan Castle. If you’re interested in trains, you could even take a journey on the Jacobite steam train, otherwise known as the Hogwarts Express! 


Norfolk


Norfolk, known for its great wildlife, scenery and royal attractions, is the perfect destination if you’re looking to explore quaint villages and gorgeous scenery. You could take a trip to see their wonderful windmills or watch the seals and their pups. If you’re looking for a different way to travel, you could explore the views of Norfolk by train and have a relaxing ride while enjoying the scenery. 


Isles of Scilly


Sometimes forgotten about as being part of the UK, the Isles of Silly offer a Caribbean-like experience, with beautiful beaches, located 28 miles off the coast of Cornwall. The white sands, turquoise waters and perfect climate make the Isles of Silly a destination that everyone should visit. You could visit any one of these islands, or even make a visit to all of them by boat. Some of these islands are so small that people who live there travel by golf buggy! You could visit either St Mary’s, Tresco, St Martins, Bryher and St Agnes. 


Cotswolds 


This destination has to be one of the most picturesque of all the destinations in Britain. While visiting, you can enjoy the historical villages, miles of countryside and grand stately homes. Covering parts of Gloucestershire, Oxfordshire, Wiltshire, Warwickshire and Worcestershire, there are more than enough places to explore in this area. Why not take a look at England's prettiest village’ or the gardens of Prince Charles’ private residence.
