Best Places In The UK For A Staycation

This is a collaborative post

Are you interested in heading on a travel trip? If so, then you might want to think about staying in the UK instead of traveling abroad. This is the perfect choice because there is so much to see and do around the country. So, let’s look at some of the best spots to visit around the country. 

Best Places In The UK For A Staycation

Scottish Highlands 

First, you should make sure that you are thinking about visiting the Scottish Highlands. When it comes to exploring Scotland, the highlands is the perfect space to start. For instance, you can take a trip on a true steam train which will take you through the scenery that you can see in the first Harry Potter films. You can also think about heading to the Highlands National Park. This is the only place in the UK that you can discover a real life polar bear as well as arctic foxes. 

Norfolk 

If you are looking for somewhere truly magical then how about booking a stay in Norfolk? Norfolk is steeped in history and has far more to offer than the occasional football match. However, if there is a game on when you are there then you could tick this off your list. You could also grab a beautiful afternoon tea, enjoy those sandwiches and scones in style. Do you love boats? If so, you can hop on a boat and travel in style. 

Dorset 

Another option that you can consider is Dorset. This is perfect because it has some wonderful scenery and locations that are completely unique to this particular spot. For instance, you might want to take a trip down to Durdle Door. Durdle Door is a beach at the bottom of stone steps. You can even swim around the door itself, which is a large stone jutting out of the water. 

Bath 

Bath is a rare sight to behold, it is actually a double-inscribed UNESCO World Heritage site. It offers gorgeous archaeological significance as well as aesthetic beauty. Bath also has a lovely city centre where you can wander in and out of boutique shops and more well-known ones. Bath is home to the UK’s only natural hot springs, and you don’t have to travel far to enjoy them. If you are a huge fan of Gothic architecture, then be sure to check out Bath Abbey, where you can climb the tower and look out at panoramic views across the city. 

Cambridge 

Finally, home to one of the most famous universities in the world, Cambridge is a beautiful place to visit. You can jump on a punt and head down the river, either on your own or with a group of friends. Be aware, if you drive, then you might want to park up somewhere and walk. Cambridge is full of students and people on bikes, so your car might feel a little out of place. There are so many places to see while you are staying in Cambridge, mainly the university sites. However, there are also some great shops and even a cinema. 

We hope this helps you understand some of the best places to stay in the UK. You don’t need to go abroad to have a wonderful time; sometimes, a staycation is all you need.
