When thinking about visiting the UK, most tourists will only consider London, simply because it is the most famous city there, but the UK is full of lots of varied places you can visit that are just as charming and suit whatever type of vacation you are looking for. From the stunning coastlines, quaint country retreats, all the way to the bustling streets of the northern cities, the UK will have somewhere magical for you to visit. If you want to explore off-the-beaten-track places in the UK, renting a motorhome is a great way to see the country and save money on accommodation. In this handy article, you will learn about four potential vacation hot spots you should consider for your next adventure across the pond.
Sandwood Bay Beach
The first place you should consider is Sandwood Bay Beach, located on the north-west coast of Scotland, near Cape Wrath. This beach is not the Caribbean beaches you may be dreaming of, but it instead offers views of the surrounding, rocky cliffs as you walk along the golden dunes of sand to find Am Buachaille, a giant sandstone sea stack. This is a great remote location for those who love walking and the serenity of the country. While this is a must-see beach, you can also use this map of UK beaches to find other amazing coastal destinations to visit.
Liverpool
If the city is more your thing, then you will find loads of reasons to visit the city of Liverpool. Filled with culture and history, you can take a walk by the water at the Albert docks, walk around the Tate gallery to see some amazing artwork, all before going for a delicious meal at one of the many restaurants the city has to boast. If you love shopping, Liverpool has a great district for bagging some bargains to take back home or, perhaps, a new outfit before you go out to Matthews Street in the evening for some partying in the clubs.
The Cotswolds
Another place to consider has to be the stunning Cotswolds. Declared an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the Cotswolds is perfect for those who want to experience the unspoiled landscape and rolling hills that are characteristic of the British countryside. Here is the perfect place if you want a relaxed and cozy holiday, where you can rent a beautiful, period cottage to spend your days in, ramble across the hills in the day, and maybe even spend an evening or two at a traditional English pub.
Belfast
A final place to consider visiting is the wonderful city of Belfast located in Northern Ireland. During your stay, you will be able to take in both the austere Victorian architecture alongside Ireland’s famous murals from the troubles. Alongside this, there are ghost tours you can go on but don’t worry, if you are faint of heart, you can have a lovely time looking around the local markets.
The UK is filled with a wide variety of things to do and places to see, so all that you need to do now is get out there and discover them.
Not a bad article. I have planned a route for the UK and it partially overlaps with your list of places. I already rented a car, now I am looking for housing. Where would you advise to spend the night in these places?
