Need a reason to spend some time in the UK? I’ll give you five…
1. Stunning Scenery
The natural beauty of parts of the UK is truly undeniable. From the rolling landscape of the Lake District to the flat Cheshire plain, the dense green forests and the blue winding rivers and lakes. One of the best things about the scenery in Great Britain is that it varies so much. From north to south and west to east, almost everywhere you go there are so many different things to see and experience. Plus, the UK’s plentiful supply of rainfall means that the landscape stays fresh and green all year round.
2. Fantastic Food
The UK has a wonderfully rich food heritage with many traditional regional dishes that have been enjoyed by local populations for hundreds of years. Almost every county of the UK has its own foodie traditions –from Cornish pasty and Cumberland sausage to Bakewell tart and Yorkshire pudding.
3. Architecture and beautiful buildings
The UK’s long and fascinating history has left behind a legacy of extraordinarily historic towns and cities with stunning Cathedrals, city walls and architecture that’s history spans back hundreds of years in some of the most picturesque cities like Chester, Durham and York. Out into the countryside, there are cosy cottages and farmhouses tucked into the landscape, that have been part of the landscape for hundreds of years, many of which have now been converted into holiday homes that you can rent for a holiday, like those from Sykes Cottages. Enjoy your very own piece of UK history whilst staying in the UK!
4. Lovely locals
The UK is well known for its great variety of regional accents and dialects. There are a huge range of regional accents from Scouse, Geordie and Cockney and even alternative languages like Welsh on display. Take the opportunity to learn a few phrases and you will be talking like a local in no time!
5. Beautiful Beaches
The dramatic coastline of the UK includes both stunning sandy beaches and fantastic coastal paths. Whether you want to sit out on the golden sand and catch some relaxing summery rays or if you are feeling active you can walk the entire coastal path on the island of Anglesey in North Wales.
If you are looking for traditional seaside charm the UK is your place too, with long established seaside towns still attracting thousands upon thousands of tourists every year, all flocking to the beach to walk down the Victorian pier, catch a performance of Punch and Judy, play in the amusement arcades and experience a sugar high after devouring a bag of candyfloss. All part of the fun of the seaside!
